Cordelia has decided that she wants to watch Buffy now. She's been reading YA with vampires and thinly disguised Slayers. We watched the first two episodes this morning before Cordelia went to school. She said a lot of the tropes were immediately familiar, and she complained about the physics not being accurate.

I took a walk again after dropping Cordelia at the bus stop, up to the science center for portal hacking again. I walked very, very slowly up until the end of the walk when I started feeling some urgency to get home.

I need to dive into a beta read of a long fic that needs to get done quickly. I got the document right after Cordelia got home yesterday, so I didn't have a chance to look at it last night. I've got about two hours now. I can probably work on it after Cordelia gets home today if all goes well. Fingers crossed.

Coolness!! Buffy is awesome!!!!!

She seems to like it so far (apart from thinking that the character who shares her name is awful).

I agree with her -- that character *is* awful. Though I like how she evolves over time.

I've been watching it slowly with my kids (14 and 16 now, but I think they were 12 and 14 when we started), and they have a lot of fun with it, despite the cheesiness of the special effects and the general 90s of it all.

I'm also curious how Cordelia will take to having a namesake on the show!

She seems to like it so far. I think, though, that the biggest part of it right now is that it's something to watch in the mornings that won't drive me out of the room the way that Friends will.

We did tell her that we didn't name her after this Cordelia and that the character develops into a more interesting/nuanced person as things go on.

We named her after one of my great-grandmothers. The name was also a middle name a couple of generations back in Scott's family.

Her name always makes me think "The dutiful daughter from King Lear." :) That and "This is a beautiful name!"
