Fandom Radio, September 11
Hey, folks. This is Eric Weiss, the time is way too late, and this is Fandom Radio. Word of warning, folks: I'm new to the island, a little freaked out by all of you -- in a good way, and I'm relying heavily on this handy Fandom Glossary some cool person left out for me.
LittleScary Schoolhouse on the Island
Aziraphale's Prophecy class focused on historical seers. Funny how none of them predicted this place. Or maybe they did. "And in that time, there would come a place of learning... with crazy students and gremlins of all shapes and creeds. And lo, the female populace would be 67% more attractive than the rest of the world." Aziraphale announced a trip to Las Vegas at the end of class, which sent Bel, Joxer, and Dawn all flaily about who would sign their permission slip. I feel for ya, guys, and I'm told I have very mature handwriting if you need something forged. Except that I can't now that I've just announced that over the radio. Sorry.
In Media Studies, Logan-who-is-according-to-the-glossary-not-in-fact-a-bunny had the students pick their desert island top 4 songs, book, and item of complete uselessness. When I play this game, it's usually top 5 movies or top 5 female celebrities. Sometimes it's top 5 varieties of hard liquor. The lists contained an awful lot of heavy metal. Don't get me wrong. I love Highway to Hell as much as the next guy, but if I was on an arid, overwhelmingly hot desert island, I don't think I'd want to hear a bunch of guys with bad hair screaming about Hell. Gotta give a shout out to Sam Winchester, who picked War and Peace as his book. That's survival instinct. Once he finishes, he can use the weight of the book to stun island critters for dinner.
Intro to 21st Century American Culture introduced the phone and the computer to the bewildered students who don't have that kind of thing where they come from. Like magic places and the future. As part of her contribution to the betterment of cowboys, Jaye taught my roommate Pete how to crank call. And suddenly I'm very glad I don't use voicemail. Over at the computers, Kaylee showed Gwynn how to Google for "horses." There's a porn joke in there, but I think Pete and Joxer summed it up well enough. The Internet is really, really great...
Cross-species Communication headed to the park where Mary Poppins had the students talk to dogs. (pause) (shuffles through Glossary) Uh, says under Talking Animals: It happens. Don't freak out. Right. Later, Rev. Jesse crashed the class and he brought his dog, who Mary also had a conversation with.
Laura Roslin presides over Interstellar Relations. Relating between stars. You know, Sirius B swaggers up to Alpha Centauri in a bar and says, "Hey baby, you're setting up thermonuclear reactions in my core." (a cricket chirps somewhere in the studio) No? No. Sorry. I had delusions of funny for a second. I'll try to keep it reined in. Seriously, though. The class ran through definitions of a state and then why political systems can't all get along. Cally compared governments to self-centered teenagers, which is accurate as hell.
Spanish class happened.
Dr. Jackson talked Ancient Egypt. Evie tried for Geek of the Week. I hear she's a front-runner.
Some teachers had office hours today, including Mary Poppins, Thursday Next, El Mariachi, Elliot Reid, Dr. Wilson, Ellie Arroway, and Aziraphale. The Fandom High Office was also open for all your bureaucracy needs.
The Library announced new Library Aides today. Congrats to Bridge Carson, Isabel Evans, and Sam Winchester. You all like books way more than I do.
During Lunch, my favorite class of all, Naomi and Billy compared childhoods. Naomi got to live in SPACE. Naomi for the win. Walter... studied. Keep honin' those learning skills, Walt.
Co-ed Dorms:90% 33% of the Reason Why I Came to Fandom
Isabel posted notification of Student Council Elections. Vote Eric Weiss, Junior representative. He might not know anything about the school, but innocence is a virtue. I just wish I had some.
Angela made delicious banana nut muffins in the third floor common room and watched a talk show. Lavender showed up and confirmed that she's a witch. That's kinda hot. On the "Goth or No Goth" spectrum of fashion, Billy and Angela both firmly agreed on "Goth," while Conner voted confused. Right there with you, pal. Peter-who-is-apparently-English and Conner wanted to buy more Saturdays. Can't help you there, fellas, but there's a bridge in Brooklyn I'm looking to burn off dirt cheap. Angela and Marty talked one-year anniversary. Angela is letting Marty do the planning. Oh, Angela. Never, ever let the dude plan the anniversary celebration. It'll be three weeks late and you'll wind up at the bar watching the game. I've watched too many relationships crash and burn this way. Get reservations somewhere nice just in case. Zuko suspected the muffins. I bet he doesn't drink the Kool-Aid, either. Buzzkill. Billy and Zuko attempted a conversation entirely in mime... until Billy realized that mime equals lame. Zuko got no-flinching points, though. Then he lost those points for dissing The Remote. The Remote is your God. Know it, love it, worship at its altar, heathen. Angela and English-Peter-guy talked about blowing up British buildings and how much they like rhymes. This place is twisted.
Apparently, Door's dormroom is the place to be. Cally hung out, Isabel and Alanna introduced themselves, and Carmela gave fashion commentary.
Isabel talked to Jaye about her brother, Bridge and English-Peter-guy hung out, and Dawn told Sam that her sister is a dog. (shuffle of glossary) Turning Into An Animal: Also happens. See: Logan-who-used-t'be-a-bunny.
Ranma and dog visited Sakurazaki. I hope this dog doesn't talk. A little later, Jude and Sakurazaki were apparently OMGSOCUTE. Seriously, it's what my notes say. I'd just go for "aw, sweet," myself, but if they wanna be OMGSOCUTE, I say let 'em.
Sam -- different Sam, girl Sam -- and Rory -- only Rory -- were both singin' in the dorms and sprucing up. (shuffles glossary again) Musical episode: Already happened. Count your blessings. Beware the pageant.
Mac had cookies and a laptop in the fourth floor common room. What am I doing here? Cute girl and cookies? I signed up for the wrong gig. Lavender wandered in later, and Mac explained her laptop. Jake shrieked like a girl at the prospect of no coffee. Wait... Jake *is* a girl? Kind of a manly name, but hey, no judgments here. Krycek swooped in, very dude-like, with coffee. Krycek to the rescue. There should be a television series.
Billy got his chakras on outside. Dig the poncho.
Lana and Walter talked in the 3rd Floor Common room. Conner popped in, still looking to buy a Saturday. Good luck on that, man. Let me know if you find a seller. I'll chip in.
Downtown. Everything's Waiting For You. Like Tequila.
Over at Empire Records, Agnes asked Chad to show her around. He preached punk rock. Anarchy in the Fandom...K, baby.
Sister Rosette hung out in the church while it rained. Is it too much to ask that she's a saucy, mischievous nun and not Our Lady of the Skinned Knuckles?
Wilson and Aziraphale got cozy in the park. You know, I think that's beautiful. There aren't enough men willing to canoodle with their agent of heaven in public. Bravo, guys. Seriously.
Alfred is trying to poison us all. But at least he's polite about it.
Jarod opened Caritas, with a new look for the musical accompaniment. Zombie band: now in unliving color.
Over at the Clinic, everybody visited River. Maybe I'm not understanding the whole "she beat the crap out of people" principle, but I'd actually avoid that area of town. Buffy should, anyway, since it apparently turned her into a puppy.
Well, that's all from me, but I leave you with one parting thought, direct from the Glossary.
