Happy, but a bit disappointed!

Well, no one could be all mad when the mail came way to early and woke me up when this came trough with it!

Tataaa! The first tpb of season 8 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer!

Joss Whedon is a man that I couldworship the ground he was walking on (him and Arsene Wenger, never to forget what he has done to Arsenal)!

It starts out good, starts nicely from where season 7 ended, (and also from where Angel ended), the characters reminds about the characters from the TV-series in looks, and even though they do not focus on Buffy the person any more but the slayer (it seams like much of the normal life, daily routine Buffy does not exist anymore, not with a big commando central and Xander as a Watcher). It is (as it seams) real thought trough but here comes a big BUT...

Xander Harris says "You're five-by-five, Buf." That's Faith's line! it's just soooo weird hearing (well, reading) Xander saying it! It disturbs the force in Buffy. Xander has roughed up a bit in the end of the series yes, but he is NOT Faith, and will never be Faith.

But oh well, I just hope it won't come more of those surprises further in the comic. I mean, I only have 28 or so more comics in the Buffy, Angel, Spike spin off/omnibus series to collect.

Of course... I call it research for my Bachelor ;)

(And of course it is, I will write my essay on how religion is shown in Buffy the Vampire slayer, one of the obvious things being the crosses, as before Christianity became the largest religion in the west, did not exist in vampire myths.) I will also research further into it and see what kind of psychological effect is has on youths and children. Maybe that would be a good thing to do if I go to the USA, I think more people there know about Buffy than in Sweden.

And here comes my collection of bruises for the week (I can say my body hurts quite a lot now).

One on my right knee from yesterdays aikido, one on left knee from falling over on Tuesday knee-first into the ice.

One on my foot from Mondays aikido when I got a elbow straight on my foot, and the last one from last Saturdays aikido. It's been a really long time since I looked like this the last time.

I also have one on my stomach but it was so small so it wouldn't show anyway, and the other day I had one on the top of my hand after Saturday. What impresses me the most is that my fingers on my left hand is not blue after the hit I got when practicing Escrima on Tuesday..
