The Gospel According to Kelly

I love this woman. If you haven't seen her on The City yet (mtv.com), just fast forward the lame stuff and check out her scenes.

what rock was i under?

i have been gradually working through the tv series buffy the vampire slayer and just finished the 5th season.  each season, i wonder "why in the world did i not watch this show when it was on the air?"  sure, the series came out around the time i went to grad school, but i'm pretty surprised with myself since this show has such a cult following and i'm totally into shows that have cult followings.  at least i'm watching now, right?  to make up for lost time, i even watched the cheesy movie starring luke perry and kristy swanson.  note to potential fans: the tv show is so much better.  it's like thinking new scooby doo cartoons may be as good as the originals (with the equation: new scooby doo = buffy movie = much less awesome)

Movie: The Rape of Europa
