So, I’m a television fanatic. It hails back to my days of sharing a bedroom with my younger siblings and quietly watching The X-Files while sitting a foot away from the television screen (seeing both films on opening day), and evolved into obsession via the same small television set with the first episode of Buffy … Continue reading »
