Oh, bloody hell. That was a few good weeks wasted, wasn't it? Joan and Eva dropped by last night last night and they asked me if we'd taken out the Fury, since she hadn't been about lately. I said no, we were still working on it, and Joan shrugged and said she figured it would be a piece of cake now that she no longer had the belt ( Read more... )

must say, I've been rather distracted for the last day. Haven't come up with a single new idea in my research for a spell to disarm the Fury. Of course, it's not like Buffy's even checked in to see if I've found anything, she's been rather busy spending as much time with the suddenly not insane anymore Spike. Yes, lovely, patrolling every bleeding ( Read more... )

Willow's graduation was on Saturday--when will they learn to hire interesting commencement speakers? I swear, I thought the Mayor's interrupted speech was pompous, but the bloody politician they had for this year's UC Sunnydale graduation just about had me snoring in my seat. I suppose I should just be grateful it was a normal speech and not a ( Read more... )

The semester is officially over at UC Sunnydale, so I go on summer hours at the museum in a week. Actually, I did half days all week, just tying up loose ends during examination week. Willow is graduating tomorrow so I'll be attending the cermony. I managed to track down a copy of one of my most useful magical references as a gift; no mean feat, it ( Read more... )

Buffy telephoned with some good news and bad news. Apparently Spike is not insane anymore...but it was somehow brought about by a visit from Drusilla. She hypnotized Dawn and got invited into the house; it's a wonder she wasn't killed. Actually, Buffy said that Spike stopped her from harming Dawn--and that she let him out of the basement since he's ( Read more... )

Anya called yesterday and told me that Cristoff had up and quit on her. You know, I had the feeling all along that the fellow was unreliable...after all, we did start our acquaintance with him unexpectedly squatting in my apartment. Oh well, no matter I suppose, we are between big magical holidays and I will be on my reduced schedule at the museum ( Read more... )

Busy day at work, beginning final inventory for the school year. The good news is, over the summer the museum will only be open part time and for special exhibitions. The bad news, my paycheck gets cut in half. Anya will no doubt complain I'm underfoot if I spend too much time at the shop ( Read more... )

A breakthrough, at last! Willow persisted in tracking down Andrew, and she and Anya questioned him today. According to Anya, he was rather reluctant to tell them about the belt, but they "good cop bad copped him." It turns out he took the belt while Penn was fighting another pixie, then a friend of his stole it from him so he summoned a justice ( Read more... )

More bad news over the weekend. Buffy was picking Dawn up from a birthday party and interrupted the Fury attacking a werewolf, of all things. Odd in itself, as it is nowhere near the full moon. Both the werewolf and the Fury escaped, and happily none of the teens attending the party were harmed, but it disturbs me that more and more strange ( Read more... )

The meeting last night was something of a disaster. Bad enough that it was nearly impossible to get Xander, Anya and Maddy (lovely girl, although I am not certain she fully comprehends the gravity of the evil we currently face) to settle down and get on-topic. But then Willow arrived with Spike, who seems to be quite insane, unless he's under the ( Read more... )
