okay- first off: hi! also, i've only got about two weeks here before i go to school again. it's the term three holidays, and after these two weeks we only have a 6-week term (term four) yay! however this means that i will be busier, as they will be condensing all of our work- we only have 6 weeks to do all the work that would normally take us 10 weeks to finish. so that means that you won't see me for about a month

any way- what i really wanted to post here was: guess what? (and no, that isn't all- there's more coming) about 3 weeks ago i went to the comic book store to pick up my sixth issue of the buffy comics

(HIGHLIGHT TO SEE MY COMMENTS ON THE BUFFY COMICS, SO AS NOT TO CREATE SPOILERS)

this sixth issue is really good- i'm so glad to see faith again- though it does kinda have a bit of a "queen of the slayers" vibe to it. However, i am absolutely positive that it will be way better- i don't think that i liked queen of the slayers very much... i like how each of the character's have their own narration kinda thing- they have a coloured bubble for what they are thinking. I don't really like how faith seems to have reverted back to her "every body sucks" mood, though i am seeing some improvements- her interaction with giles and a "salad fork" for instance- which, btw, glad to see the G-Man back! I still think that number five was the best issue so far... i feel so sorry for the girl and how nobody seems to notice her... but back toissue 6- what i really wanna know right now is: what ever happened to robin Wood? why is he no longer with faith? I hope that by the end of this Faith arc (so issue 10?) they get back together, cos i liked that faith had her own guy at last. i also hope that no character is killed in the 8th season- as it just wouldn't be the same as television.

(END OF SPOILERS)

so, while i was there (at the comic book store) i found four other things which i wanted more than anything else- a Buffy calendar for 2008, the firefly companion books (volumes one and two) and the serenity companion book. i checked with them to see if they had much in stock- they actually said that they were pretty sure that the calendar and the firefly companion book (issue one) would never come by again- the other two had a higher chance of being found. so, of course, i had to buy the buffy calendar and the firefly volume one. i hope that they still have firefly volume two and serenity by christmas... i'm hoping to get those as well. they're actually really expensive. as soon as i figure out how to use the scanner, i will scan the calendar on so then you can all see them. has anyone else gotten the calendar for 2008? i hope that they do them for 2009 as well. most of the shots in the calendar seem to be from season 5-ish, some from earlier.

well, that's me! cya all. i'll be on the forums for a fortnight, then i won't be back for another month
