I read tonight that the ice-laden polar airflow which is
currently turning my house into a very big refrigerator (and is likely to last
for at least another week, and is driving me a league or two below the comfort
zone, and is loading further worries onto the heads of poorer people who
couldn’t afford the greatly inflated cost of fuel even before the villain
arrived) is being caused by a high pressure system sitting over Russia and
refusing to move. I wonder how Putin managed to engineer that one.

Tonight’s episode of Buffy was highly emotional: she and her big beau Riley have separated and they’re both very unhappy about it. That’s fair enough, but what wasn’t fair enough was Zander’s sudden intrusion onto the stage of Buffy’s angst. It was far and away the most contrived and irrational piece of plot so far, and Zander’s lecture to our heroine contained statements which he had no rational way of making because he wasn’t privy to the private conversation between the two protagonists.
Shame on the writer. I didn’t catch his name.
