Finally the end of season 3 is nigh and kick ass leather seems to be the look when fighting bad guys.
Season 3 Episode 17: Enemies
Faith and The Mayor try to get Angel on their side. Only to do this it means getting rid of his soul and bringing out Angelus. And the last thing anyone needs is Angelus to join in the mayhem.
Fav Quote: Giles: Demons after money. Whatever happened to the still-beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.
Fashion: For the first time Faith makes a decent fashion choice and wears a burgundy leather shirt that is very much her.
Body Count: 0
Season 3 Episode 18: Earshot
While fighting a demon Buffy gets infected by it's blood and now she can read minds. Which is kind of cool but quickly becomes much worse as Buffy struggles with the overload of everyone's thoughts and becomes very ill, though not before revealing that she 'heard' that someone in the school is planning on murder.
With Buffy out of commission it's up to the Scoobies to find the potential mass murderer while Giles, Wesley and Angel try to find a cure for Buffy before it's too late.
Fav Quote: Buffy: Is this the thing?
The aspect thing? Because I gotta say, if it is, it’s way better than a
tail. I mean, I have a hard enough time finding jeans that fit right.
Fashion: The cardigan look is back... twice this time in a all pink number and then in a grey paired with a black cami and grey skirt. Buffy is totally rockin' the whole more grown up look. Thank God the short short skirts and dresses are finally gone. Xander also looks pretty good in a nice pale yellow jumper. Not a colour I would have thought of working but which surprisingly it does.

Season 3 Episode 19: Choices
Fed up and knowing that her chances of ever leaving Sunnydale are pretty much zero while her friends are busy making plans for their futures, Buffy decides to go on the offensive and attacks The Mayor where it will hurt him the most.
Unfortunately her plan seriously back fires when Willow gets captured by Faith.
Fav Quote: Buffy: Unfortunately,
that's all I could get out of my informant before his aggressive
tendencies forced me to introduce him to Mr. Pointy.
Fashion: Giles in a blue shirt and braces. I pretty much lost focus after that.
Body Count: 2
Season 3 Episode 20: The Prom
Even proms at Sunnydale High don't go without problems and with Hell Hounds on the loose it's up to Buffy to save the day and the prom, ensuring that everything goes without a hitch. The prom though may still have a few surprises in store for her,
Fav Quote: Buffy: Couldn't we just let this be the vamp that got away? We can say he was this big.
Angel: What can I say? I need closure.
Fashion: It's a prom so you just know that prom dresses are going to feature. Both Buffy's and Willow's are just so them. Perfect.

Season 3 Episode 21: Graduation Day Part One
With the Ascension drawing close Faith poisons Angel with an arrow in an effort to distract Buffy from the Mayor's plans. Hunting for a cure Giles finds out the only cure is the blood of a Slayer...
Fav Quote: Giles: Faith has you at a disadvantage, Buffy.
Buffy: 'Cause I'm not crazy, or 'cause I don't kill people?
Giles: Both, actually.
Fashion: Buffy red leather pants.
Body Count: 1
Season 3 Episode 22: Graduation Day Part Two
With Faith badly injured and in a coma Buffy and the rest make their plans to finally take out the Mayor and stop the Ascension.
And every high school students dream is filled with an ending that is kind of perfect all round.
Fav Quote:
Xander: Here’s your coffee. Brewed from the finest Colombian lighter fluid.
Giles: Horrible.
Xander: Aren’t you supposed to be drinking tea anyway?
Giles: Tea is soothing. I wish to be tense.
Fashion: What with all the planning and killing and massacre it's no surprise that there are any fashion choices that stand out in this episode.
Body Count: At least 5 but probably a lot more. It's just one big massacre fight so it was kind of hard to keep count.
I really shouldn't make plans. Because my head is seriously the worse and suddenly it's like 'oooh let's write 8000 words and watch Downton Abbey from the beginning'... again. 'Oh and by the way those others plans lets just forget all of those.'
See the worse.
Which pretty much explains why September's plans went out the window and why I didn't even bother making any for October.
Sometimes you just have to know when to quit.
Still I'm not giving up and plans are back on the board... even if my stupid brain is probably just going to ignore them once again.
Crafting
Can we just not even talk about this.
I pulled it out. I tidied it up. I even downloaded some patterns. And that has pretty much been it.
I'm never going to finish this cross stitch thing am I?
Gardening
OMG this one is actually going well. Which just goes to show that I have been doing something other than writing and staring at a computer screen.
The greenhouse is totally rockin' what with all the tomatoe plants. Plus there's peppers and lettuces and strawberries. And none of them have died... yet.
Outside it isn't looking too shabby either with flowers popping up everywhere and the new bit of lawn slowly taking off.
Green Goddess for the win.
Get Fit and Healthy
And another one that is still going well. Even with this totally weird up and down weather I've managed to fit in quite a bit of walking and my eating has improved heaps. Mostly because I've got this weird swallowing/throat problem thing going on which means that I'm pretty much living on smoothies, mashed veg, yoghurt and scrambled eggs. And even more on the plus side I've lost some more weight so yay me.
I'm just sussing out new recipes of things I can eat and I'm good to go.
Being Frugal
I've finally got the cuttings thing figured out and now have a small tray of plants slowly growing so I'm super pleased about that.
I am just need to get organised and sell some things before Christmas.
Kondoing My Way
So never happened so naturally it's still on the list.
My wardrobe is starting to look like World War 3 has been declared and that the clothes have gone on mutiny. I really do need to get in there and have a major clean out.
Reading
Amazingly I've managed to read the odd book or two. On the downside I downloaded a ton of new ebooks so once again that TBR pile has gotten out of control and threatening to explode. In my defense the books were all lovely Christmas reads so really they were totally justified and can I truly be blamed for getting them when they lured me with all their pretty covers and enticing blurbs.
Writing
I actually don't need to plan for this at the moment because the brain and the fingers are on fire at the moment. 8000 words and counting.
Can I just be all smug now
It's still happening albeit a little slowly what with all the writing and Downton Abbey watching. Priorities you know.
Season 3 Episode 11: Gingerbread
Buffy and her mom's mother and daughter bonding takes a bit of a dive when Joyce discovers the bodies of 2 children while being on patrol with her daughter. Sadden and disturbed by their deaths Joyce becomes a little too involved in Buffy's life when she takes it upon herself to form a mother's group to combat the evil in Sunnydale. Only thing is she and the other mothers now think that Buffy and the gang are now part of the problem and even worse perhaps evil too...
So not the kind of mother/daughter bonding that Buffy had in mind.
Fav Quote: Buffy: Mom, dead people are talking to you. Do the math.
Fashion: Cardigan look... again. This time in pale pink so you just know I am so there.
Body Count: 0

Fav Quote: Buffy: I'm way off my game. My game's left the country. It's in Cuernavaca!
Fashion: The dungarees are back so you just know that Buffy is feeling kind of down.

Season 3 Episode 13: The Zeppo

The new gang though aren't quite what they seem and soon Xander is having to fed for himself and stop a bomb from blowing up the school.
Yep it's just another day being a Sunnydale High Student.
Fav Quote: Willow: Yeah, I'm fine. The-The shaking is-is a side-effect of the fear.
Fashion: Buffy's hair has got the whole crinkle look going on and yeah I so do not like. On the other hand Xander is back in black and looking kind of hot.
Body Count: 4
Season 3 Episode 14: Bad Girls
With Giles fired from the Watcher's Council Buffy and Faith gain a new Watcher in the form of one Wesley Wyndham-Pryce, a stuffy by-the-book man who the girls quickly decide to mostly ignore.

Fav Quote: Wesley: Why don't you tell me everything about last night's patrol.
Buffy: Vampires.
Wesley: Yes?
Buffy: Killed 'em.
Fashion: The pastel colours are back - this time in mauve - as is the cardigan and hair clip. In man world both Giles and Wesley are rockin' the suit and tie look.
Body Count: 10
Season 3 Episode 15: Consequences
Following on from the previous episode Buffy and the gang try to get through to Faith and make her realise what she done and the path she is headed down. Faith has other plans though, ones that don't involve the Scoobies or Buffy at all.
Fav Quote: Angel: I'm sorry about the chains. It's not that I don't trust you... Actually, it is that I don't trust you
Fashion: Willow's the dungaree girl this time round plus I love her hair this episode. Faith also has the whole dark glossy lipstick thing going on.
Body Count: 0
Season 3 Episode 15: Doppelgangland
Anya, the vengeance demon from The Wish, tries to get her necklace back with the aid of Willow and a little spell.
Unfortunately it all goes wrong and now there are 2 Willows and the other Willow isn't nearly as nice or friendly what with being a vampire and all.
Fav Quote: Anya: Vampires. Always thinking with your teeth.
Fashion: Willow the red head in red totally works especially when they are dungarees. Buffy is sporting the pigtail look again which we haven't seen since 'Anne' and it's really cute.
