It's not your computer -- LJ has been fucked up for two weeks. It had one day of normal functioning yesterday, and now it's back to being crap.
Thanks for reminding me about DW. I backed up my whole LJ there when I first bought an account, but crossposting feels like a pain and I haven't been keeping up. Yet they have a pretty easy thing for doing it. I'm just... stressed.
I have some DW codes somewhere, I'll try to find one.
PS: Agree with your observations about the comic. My heart is moved to compassion for all the people trying to parse this thing so it makes sense with Buffy canon -- which, let's face it, has ultimately shown itself to be largely a construct of the more intelligent fans anyway. Fandom has imposed an order on the Buffyverse that just didn't exist, and expecting a comic book that Whedon is slumming/farming out to a brand to make thematic sense is futile. It's depressing to watch all this fan investment in a product the author isn't invested in at all.
