Monday night I went grocery shopping with Mark at Meijer & Kroger; at Meijer I got to visit with Karen. We also went to Vault of Midnight where I got some Buffy issues that I'll be needing next month, when the 6th graphic novel comes out (not including 'Tales of the Vampires', 'Fray' or 'Tales of the Slayers', which are also important to Season 8) I started rereading Buffy Season 8 (I forgot so much of it - how are all those people tied into Twilight, and now that I know who Twilight is, the secret of which was ruined for me Monday as well, I'm completely lost!), chatted online, chilled, talked to Michael, talked to Mark, and eventually slept.

About Buffy. Season 8 has centered on a masked man known as Twilight; his real identity has remained a mystery throughout the season and will be revealed in the comics in April I believe, but the cat's already out of the bag; for anyone not wanting to know who this big bad is I suggest you skip the rest of this entry, and avoid the covers to every issue of Buffy for the next 8 months (I'm pretty sure Season 8 ends in October). Here's some spoiler space:

Ok.

Twilight = ANGEL. Whoa. I didn't think they could use the Angel character in Buffy so I never even considered him. Then there are all the things he can do (like fly) which make it seem unlikely. Also, he's already been the big bad (in Season 2) and we've never had a repeat offender. But even with the reveal...there are so many questions to answer. I suspect these answers will be even more fun than the reveal is, or would have been, had it not been spoiled for me. Here are a few upcoming covers; the first two are from Twilight, Part III & Twilight, Part IV. I believe the 3rd image will be the cover of the 7th Buffy Season 8 graphic novel, but don't quote me on that. lol

Apparently, the storyline of Angel Season 6 will be augmented so this Buffy storyline will make sense and bring both comic-verses into one single continuity. That's cool. But it makes the Angel comics more imporant after I'd already written them off. There are 7 Angel Graphic Novels, 1 of which I already have; with more to follow, I'm sure. Here are the volumes in the order that I think they're supposed to go, though I'm not completely sure:

Ok. Moving on.

Tuesday I worked on my DCAU page, went to the pharmacy to return some stuff and pick up some perscriptions, then went to Michael's where I stayed until this morning. During the visit we talked a lot, watched a lot of Roseanne, had fun cuddling in his tiny bed, I got more groceries for myself (including some stuff I've never tried before - go me) and we mostly had a great time, except that Sean Mobley called and needs a visit, and Michael is uber worried and jealous. Erg. But besides that, I think it was time well spent.

Speaking of Sean. He's back living in Detroit with his dad (Clinton Township, East Side of Detroit). He apparently moved to Nebraska for a bit, where he got involved with a married man and did some meth; he got scared and came back home. He sounds really freaked out (and he's not using). I told him I'd try to visit today, but I'm wonding if tomorrow or Saturday might be better. I'll see how the day plays out. I'm tired, but can't sleep as of yet.

Also, apparently after I spoke to Mollie on the phone the other day (Sunday?) she had a seizure, fell and broke 2 bones in her arm, 2 in her wrist, some in her hand, and one of her fingers!?! Ugh. Mollie has the worst luck of anyone that I know...and she doesn't deserve it. :-0(

Doctor Who is definitely airing in April of this year (it's been confirmed by the BBC), and most people are guessing it will start Saturday, April 3; about 6 weeks from now, and just 8 days after the mid-season finale of Caprica ("End of Line"). It's been all but confirmed that the opening episode ("The Eleventh Hour") will be an hour long special which I think is perfect as it's basically "The End of Time, Part III"; lets just hope it doesn't suck as much as the first 2 parts. There will be a new trailer for the season this Saturday (in the UK) which I'm hoping I'll get to see. There's also this new official promo picture:

Will that freaky new Time Vortex be part of the new opening credits?

There are new episodes of Caprica, Smallville & Spartacus tomorrow night; 3 of the shows that I'm actually all caught up on. There's a cool article here explaining Sam Adama's tattoos on Caprica (they really do all mean something; cool). Glee begins airing new episodes Tuesday, April 13.

I'm tired, but kind of in the mood to watch more LOST. Perhaps I shall. I've been hearing that the writers have been answering some of the show's many questions in the currently airing last season. I hope they're worth it.
