Willow ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Discussion of comics, graphic novels, and more. Except for capes. No capes!
Please use spoiler font for new releases until after the weekend following release.
Hee. Did I mention that I know this not from a class, but "field observations" in Peace Corps? I kept having this argument with a fellow volunteer who would complain about how they dropped the beginnings of words, and we didn't do that in English.
me: What about "I'munna go to the store?" Where's the 'g'?
her: Well, *I* don't do that.
me: You're from ARKANSAS.
Hey! Some of us can speak with mostly correct grammar.
I'm not even really talking about grammar, just elision. That's how we got contractions, you know. Plus, I was coming from a descriptive perspective, not proscriptive. I LOOOOVE dialects and accents.
For completeness' sake - I went back and reread latest Buffy w/ an eye for the slang... I found "histry" as the closest example of something similar, but that's pretty much how the word is pronounced anyway.
Hmm. I think I know just the Buffista to talk to about this mystery.
Buffy 17...... woah (I know I'm really late to this party.
I had to re-read Fray before I jumped into this arc.
Getting ready to start Spike After the Fall. Hope it doesn't suck.
Oooh I just had a happy thought...
Super Giles comes back, that would be cool.
That would be cool!
(I just read the issue. . . still have Angel and Spike to go.)
Preview of Buffy #18
I'm not crazy about the art, especially Xander and Dawn. Also, is Joss just seeing how much he can possibly fuck with Dawn before people get sick of it? Because I was over the whole giant thing about 4 issues in.
Oh! And I want to make "There's no need to swear like a nerd" my tagline, but I guess I have to wait.
When is 18 dropping?
The Angel/Spike schedule is off from what I put on my calendar so now I'm a bit paranoid.
