Thanks Hulu!

My husband and I have had a role reversal which is also a little strange for me. See I am the night owl now and he is the one going to bed early. It is really a strange situation because ever since I have known Matt he has always been the night owl. I can stay up late on the weekends but when it comes to the work week I had to be in bed no later than 10:30 p.m. or I wasn't worth much the next day, while Matthew could stay up until 12:30 or 1:00 every night.

Most of the time in the late evening I spend playing on Facebook or watching shows. Lately the shows I have been hooked on are the reruns of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel. Thank you Hulu.com. The only reason I sought out these shows again was due to a conversation I was having with some college friends who had discovered NBC's summer show Merlin and realized that Anthony Stewart Head was playing Merlin's father in the show. This got them started talking about the crush they had on this actor when he played Giles on BtVS. Well I was hooked on the show when it first aired and in fact it was something that Matthew and I use to watch together when we were "just friends!" So I decided, heck I have time I will watch these shows again! A little corny I know but who doesn't love a little David Boreanaz now and then!

My all time favorite episode of BtVS is the musical episode that takes place in season 6. Thanks to Hulu I was able to watch the first 3 seasons of BtVS and season 1 of Angel. But it didn't satisfy my need to see my favorite episode. So I went on the big search to find free rerun showings of the rest of the seasons. Luckily TNT is replaying every episode of Angel from the beginning and it is on the DVR schedule. This just left finding the rest of BtVS, which proved a little more difficult. I eventually found a couple of sites online and I am happily plugging along! The replay quality isn't as good as Hulu's and I have some glitches but it is free and is something to do while my body and eyes decide they are tired enough to go to bed. So for tonight, I finally get to watch my favorite episode again! Hopefully I won't be too loud for Matthew, I do have the tendency to sign along to this one and I may have watch it over and over again before I move on with the rest of the season!
