If Only Angel Had Died In That Alley

SPOILERS The big reveal of Twilight (the Big Bad of Season 8) went down in Buffy this week, and you can read the fallout here. My only real gripe right now is that I wish they had never done a 'season 6' of Angel in comics. I always felt that the show ended on about as perfect a note as possible. The mystery over whether Angel (and crew) died in the alley in L.A. would have made the reveal of Twilight as Angel that much more shocking, to me at least. It would have sold some of the conflicting emotions Buffy experiences a bit better for some of the people that VIOLENTLY disagree with what happens in this issue. For what it's worth, here are my two cents: Buffy does try to kill him first. With a giant tree. Giles and Angel know something we don't.

I don't know why I'm so fascinated by Lady Gaga. She seems to want to out drag queen even the most gonzo drag queens out there.

I think I've spent so much time pushing novels up hills I've completely forgotten the language of anything short. That changed a little in August, when I attended the Summer Writer's Conference at Northwestern. I took a class called Parasitic Writing and was exposed to a form of writing I had never heard of: erasure poetry. The class was an eye opener in so many ways. In three short, swift hours we discussed the idea of plagarisim in art; if there is such a thing; fan fiction; You Tube and the art people create from found materials like movie trailers; it was all fascinating to me, because I've been interested for a long time in ideas like genre, and the idea of 'rebooting' something, which is especially common now in genre works like comic books and movies. The class inspired me to...
