So, it is party time again, folks!

[wiseheart]

Each year this time, we launch my virtual birthday party, which starts on October 1 and ends on October 9 at midnight, sharp. The goals of the party are to post as many comments and collapse as many threads as possible, on as many new pages as we can. It is always great fun, as you can see if you check out the similar entries of the last few years.

This year, I'll also throw the real party at mid-time - and post the recipes of all the food that will be there for you, so that you can all participate if you want to. Virtual food has no calories.

Fandom-related discussions are as welcome as the ones about coffee or chocolate (just to name a few favourites from previous years), and, of course, pictures and recipes of birthday cakes. ;)

So, drop by, tell your story, post your pics or silly poems, ask questions you always wanted to ask and have a good time!

Soledad, in excited expectation




Oh, and by the way, to provide birthday gifts hobbit-style, I've got a revived story and a Kansas 2 update for you.

Enjoy!

I have never watched any Twin Peaks at all; the descriptions I have had of it, just makes it sound not my sort of thing, so I have never sought it out. What do you like about it?

It would be quicker to say what I didn't like about it...

It's the archetypal use of a crime to peel away the layers of a seemingly idyllic town. It has an off-the-wall sense of humour that is close to unique in US television. The surreal elements are far more like art film than commercial television, and are open to multiple interpretations that fans are still debating. Its cinematography & set design were unparalleled at the time in television -- it's only fairly recently that works of that quality & level of set detail have been shown outside cinema. Audrey Horne is one of my favourite young female characters. And there's a young David Duchovny in drag :)

The first series was nearly perfect; the second digresses after the main mystery was solved and was diluted, but still has some very strong episodes and the most memorable cliff-hanger I can remember in television, ever.

This does indeed sound intriguing; I may have to see if I can get hold of the first few episodes to see if I do like it. On the other hand, I do have a lot of other things I mean to watch, not to mention a nearly infinite list of books to read...

Oh, and most of the incidental music is brilliant, and I write this as someone who generally hates film/television incidental music.
