Thinking back to the music meme for Q16 i could have chosen this one as it is used quite devastatingly in a TV series that i love.

Puccini - O Soave Fanciulla (La Boheme)
by Anna Netrebko & Rolando Villazón



I am talking of course about BtVS Season 2 "Passion" where Angelus kills Miss Calendar and puts her in Giles bed, with roses going down the staircase. Giles discovers that, instead of a night of passion, she has been placed there by the sadistic vampire whom became de-souled,due to a Gypsy curse, when Buffy had sex with Angel.

Hers is a montage to remember the eventual untimely death of Jenny Calendar -



Oh and this is where Angelus snaps her neck -



Monologues are rare in Buffy,and generally controversial , but this was most affecting. Hankies out time guys and gals.



Dru and Spike are always fun to watch.



The episode still chokes me up, even now.

PS. A brilliant choice by Joss Whedon to include such a powerful aria from an opera in essentially a teen culture based TV series.

Memes are a popular way to know a bit more about the folks who blog on LJ  , and thus, fellow warblers, here is my short 15 question meme to which you can add comments on.

1/  How did you pick or come up with your LJ username?

2/ How long have you been on LJ?

3/ What do you like about LJ?

4/ What frustrates you about LJ?

5/ What is your pet peeve or pet hate?

6/ How would you describe your political viewpoint?

7/ What is your fondest memory?

8/ What are your favourite subjects to talk about?

9/ What are your strengths?

10/ What are your weaknesses?

11/ Who would you like to be and why?

12/ If you were a book what would your title be?

13/ What type of music are you in to?

14/ What motivates you?

15/ What subjects did you struggle at in school / college / university?


I kept it short because i know 50 question ones are time consuming and a bit of a chore.
