| INTO EVERY GENERATION, A SLAYER IS BORN...
I have just received the surprise of my life. As I was sitting here idly blogging my summer hours away, I received an email from an address which I did not recognize. Against my better judgement, I opened it because although I had never corresponded with this person, there was something strangely recognizable about the name. If you have been an avid reader of my blog (please stop laughing...there are a few people who come here on a quasi-regular basis), you know that I am quite staunch in my assertion that, for a variety of reasons, there is no better show on television than "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." And, if you have been reading my blog since before I switched to this new design and location, you may recall reading a story about my purchase of a new "Buffy"-related book called Slayer Slang. Suffice it to say that I was a little bit more than excited to purchase my copy of that book. It's every Buffy-fan/English teacher's dream. Ok...so here's the great part. Back to the email. I opened the email to find that it was from none other than Michael Adams--author of the book. He explained that he is working on another article about the use of the term "slayer slang" and in searching the internet for occurrences, he came across my humble little blog. He read my story about buying his book, and thanked me for my positive reaction, and then suggested that if I wanted, we could arrange a time to meet (since I work just up the road from Albright College) and he would sign my book for me! How cool is that? Excuse me while I go pee my pants. ¶ Ξ PDawg Composed at 6:36:00 PM |
