There must be a new generation of Buffy fans

Yes I made it back to OH and thank the goddess I left when i did instead of coming back yesterday like I wanted to. 77 where it meets 70, the flood waters were to the edge of the elevated highway. When I was about 10 miles from Athens I knew i was in for it. I glanced over and said, huh i don't remember a boat ramp this close to the road...wait! I don't remember a LAKE there. Needless to say it wasn't. The Hocking River had spilled everywhere. Many parts of my trip on 50 and 32 were underwater still.

Speaking of the goddess, happy Ostara (or Mabon to my southern hemisphere Pagan friends). I got to spend it hauling butt over three states. AND for the extra added excitement, i picked up a cough last night out of no where. I don't feel sick but it feels like a 1 ton elephant is on my chest and I hate coughing because a) it inevitably makes the nerves of my arm spear themselves on that arthritic spur in my neck and b) makes me vomit because the valve between stomach and esophagus is totally shot and any pressure makes it blow. GRRRR.

Oh yeah, let me get to my subject line - seriously three Buffy fans found my FFN stuff today, mostly my Connor stuff. In the last two months I'm betting at least 12 new fans have favorited me. Oh and can anyones explain to me the new trend of making someone a favorite but NEVER talk to them, no feedback (and in the case of my online dating service no contact at all...and why does a dating service even have a favorites option???) It makes me want to get off my butt and finish Hyperion's Son at long last.

And this depressed the hell out of me. Borders is bankrupt. Curse you wal-mart and Amazon. Now I can see Amazon being a threat but WAL-HELL? Huh? They barely even have a book selection and it's CENSORED. You can't get anything remotely non-Christian or family oriented by Wal-Mart's own admission.

I do NOT want B&N to buy Borders. I have lost my taste for them. For one their membership pales in comparison to Borders (for one it costs $$$ with fewer benefits). Secondly at least with manga in Columbus and Pittsburgh homosexuals don't exist. No Yuri or Yaoi is sold. Nada. Hell it's hard to find the over 18 manga. Must protect the kiddies I guess. Hear the sarcasm (anyone else find this issue with B&N in other parts of the country?)

Oddly two days ago I was bemoaning not getting to use my border bucks and coupons on line the manager said, you will once we get our website back from Amazon in the summer. WTF? You actually let your competitor take over your site and inhibit use of money saving coupons? You almost deserve your fate.
