Not only is the Mayor the best villain, his relationship with Faith
It's his relationship with Faith that, for me, makes him the best villain. By "best villain" I don't necessarily mean "biggest badass" or "killed the most people." Biggest badass is probably Angelus (plus there was the satisfyingly painful emotional arc). *Maybe* Glory.
But the Mayor is dangerous and calculating and evil, and still has that relationship with Faith, which is real and warm and totally not evil. And that just somehow makes him the best for me.
Plus the opposition to swearing.

That's one of the reasons I love Spike. He's a total bad-ass, except his flaw is he's too human. It's his ability to love that's sorta' a reverse tragic-flaw....
Overnight I seem to have traded my migraine for the ability to breath through my nose. Joy.
Suzi, in my opinion, that's trading up. It's always been easier for me to unstuff my nose than to vanquish a migraine.
True, Teppy, true. I want to go to karate today, I have 2 hours of class, but if I can't use my nose, it is going to be difficult. Yes, it would have been impossible with the migraine.
CJ and I are meeting up with Nicole and her DH to see Wicked tonight! I'm very excited.
Since I solved it, I've been thinking about my unconscious assumptions that initially prevented me from figuring it out. (Which is interesting to think about.)
Dammit, I couldn't get past the assumption that the first step would be to
weigh four on each side.
Me either, P.-C. Hardest part of getting rid of initial assumptions is seeing them!
It's annoying because for the second weigh, I understood the principle that
you can gain information by leaving balls out of the weigh, but I didn't think to apply that same logic to the first weigh, where I assumed that More Balls = More Information.
You have eight balls all of the same size 7 of them weigh the same, and one of them weighs slightly more. How can you find the ball that is heavier by using a balance and only two weighings?
That came to me instantly, which is unusual. Maybe I've heard it before.
I figured it out but want to read everyone's whitefont. How do I do that on an iPhone?
