2017 August 4

The inspiration for today was Andy Hallett. For those of you unfamiliar with his body of work, it essentially boiled down to Lorne (Krevlorneswath of the Deathwok Clan) on Angel the Series. We designated this day for Andy, as he was born on August 4th in 1975 passing away March 29, 2009.


One of my absolute (second) favourite quotes of the series comes from his character.

"It's like a song, now I can hold a note for a long time, actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after and the one after that, that's what makes it music."- Happy Anniversary.

As for episodes, my daughter and I had a difference of opinion as to our favourite. She chose the wonderful episode "Over The Rainbow" in which Lorne had to return to his homeworld of Pylea to learn a few truths about himself.

She was playing Warioland: Shake It when she saw her opportunity.

As for myself, the episode featuring Lorne that I enjoyed the most (for his character) was "The House  Always Wins" in which Lorne has moved on to Vegas, but not without problems. What is fate and what is destiny? And how many fabulous outfits can Lorne wear in one episode!

And today worked out well, because my house always wins when my eldest and her boyfriend come to visit!!!

And ever the sweetheart, she had Journey's "Any Way You Want It" playing, with disco lights, when she came into the living room for hugs and inappropriate face making.
