02. death in the family

unless you are talking about the batman graphic novel about robin getting murdered then i would have to say i am sorry to hear that.

and being sick during the holidays blows chunks.

Christmas is lame when you're old.

i actually have yet to venture into the action figure section of buffy fandom, i always felt that would be the indicator of me going too far. i even had to pause for a second when i saw a life-size spike cardboard cutout at newbury comics. but anyhoo, my buffy plans for christmas were spoiled by borders's sucking and either not having the season five dvd's or having them for alot more than i'd like to pay even with the $25 gift certificate.

so instead i bought X2 and Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere"

but dark willow ruled!

also i agree that christmas can get lame when you are old but i think i have finally "gotten it" as far as the true meaning and whatnot. i stopped really caring whether or not i get anything a long time ago but i do get really excited about giving people stuff and probably most important is that i really enjoy this time of the year with the fam even if i am bored as shit in CT. it just is a nice relaxed feeling for me to relish until i go back to work next week.

[TheNewChupe]

robin is dead?

 

[avi]

meh, it was okay, but I don't think I'd win any contest.

 

[FalseTodd]

"meh" = "brimstone didn't rain down upon the goyim"

 

[avi]

[FalseTodd]

"sssh" = "keep quiet"

MY FAVORITE POST OF THE MONTH.


(even though i'm not jewish and don't really get it.)

 

[avi]

oh, you'll get it. don't you worry about that.

 

[Baliset]

robin is dead?

one of the Robins is dead. it was the second one. the first Robin became Nightwing, and the second Robin was whiny and annoying and hated by the fans so they killed him off to please the fans.

 

[TheNewChupe]

i don't think i like the way avi's dog is staring at me in my goyim nature.
