Fandom Radio, Saturday December 16, 1006
Hello Fandom! It's Willow Rosenberg, for those of you tuning in for the very first time on a Saturday evening and/or those of you who haven't yet figured out that my voice always sounds the same. At least I assume it does. You know I've never actually listened to one of my own recordings because it's always weird to hear what your voice sounds like when it's not inside your head.
Anyway, hi! Happy Hanukkah to those of us who are celebrating it, and to those of you who aren't as well. We exclude no one here. There are plenty of latkes for all. Enjoy! They're quite yummy. Go on, I'll wait.
...
Are you back yet? You know in hindsight I probably should've told you to just bring some headphones with you, but oh well. Something to keep in mind for next time.
Now on with the news!
School, where instead of one day of learning we have eight crazy months. Or something like that.
School was quiet today, in preparation for finals, wonderful finals no doubt! Are you as excited as I am? I wish we could have finals all the time. Except then they wouldn't be 'finals' so much as 'constants' but still, if we can keep the spirit of the holidays in our hearts all year round I don't see why we can't keep the spirit of standardized test-taking in there as well. My heart's big, it has room.
The school was so quiet you could hardly hear Seely whimpering in detention where this week they made him practice for his finals using a pen that has no ink in it, which as you know is the ookiest feeling in all the world. I get the shudders just thinking about it. Beelyak!
Gun club got together and pondered the holiday spirit which resulted in them talking about putting together a cookie swap which they then tried to get Parker's approval for. Or they met, shot, talked, and Parker was there. But my way is yummier!
Dorms, the metaphorical donuts of our lives, but only because they both begin with D and I can't think of another way to stretch the symbolism. The common rooms are the jelly though, I know that for sure.
We first focus our attention on individual rooms. Berthold eats River's egg. I, uh, assume that's River's breakfast and not one of her.... yeah. Because that would be very disturbing. Not that it's fun to lose breakfast either, but still. Buffy and River then discuss holiday plans. On the odd chance Buffy needs reminding of this, I am in fact still Jewish. Just putting that out there.
Jack and Cedric are both awake and adorable. Unlike the times they are asleep and adorable, or awake and significantly cute, but more edgy than the word adorable would imply.
Marie is studying in her room. BECAUSE SHE IS HOME WHERE SHE BELONGS AND THAT IS THE BEST HOLIDAY GIFT EVER!!! Well, okay, the dinner and everything that Peter set up last night was also the most wonderful holiday gift I could ever imagine and since I've got the airwaves allow me to say for the record that Peter Pevensie is the bestest boyfriend in all the world and I love him to a factor that requires complicated math to fully express. But that is completely immaterial to the issue of whether or not it makes me happy that Marie is back here with us and in good ol' 509, because she is and it does and that shall hopefully never change. Except when she needs to go to the bathroom. She can certainly leave the room then. In fact I encourage it.
Anyway, Cally stops by to give Marie the 411 about the trolls. And the squirrels are handing me a note which says that I should never use the slang '411' again, so that's good to know. Parker checks in to make sure that Marie is okay and Bridge not only checks in but comes with Hanukkah pressies, yay! Happy Hanukkah, Bridge! Conner also stops by and was apparently very dull and uninteresting because that's all my notes have to say on the subject.
In other rooms, Sam does research and Dawn comes to help him with cuteness. I thought Sam didn't need any help being cute but it's thoughtful for Dawn to pitch in anyway. Also cute today are Jamie and Marie and Jude and Chad. I didn't know Jude and Chad were dating, but you guys have my full support.
Molly interrupts Ray's studying and OH MY GOD WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT??? Never interrupt the studying! Interrupted studying leads to bad grades and not getting into good colleges and then it's your whole life down the toilet because now your father and I are very disappointed in you, missy!
Um.... I mean I'm sure Ray was glad to see a friendly face.
Parker is IMing when Isabel stops by. Isabel's all "Wh3r3 15 H4wk3y3?" and Parker's all 7h15 15 wh47 1'm 54y1n6!" and Isabel's all "H3y, u w4nn4 cyb3r?" and Parker's all "N0, bu7 m4yb3 7h47'5 wh3r3 H4wk3y3 w3n7!"and Isabel's all "3w, 1 d0n'7 w4n7 70 7h1nk 4b0u7 5ch00| 0ff1c14|5 1n 7h47 w4y." and Parker's all "M3 n317h3r, l0l!"
Or maybe Parker was IMing with someone else.
Walter works out in the gym. Billy joins him and they work out by doing a routine to music with punches, which I guess means either techno or the late works of Sousa.
The afternoon finds the common room that's two floors less cool than five having Dawn in it. She apparently tries to study and ends up making burritos instead. You should talk to Mac, Dawn. She had a problem with her textbooks turning into tortillas. I bet she could help!
Buffy invites Dawn home for the holidays, and Dawn's refusal gets her Berthold-sitting duties. Be careful of your breakfasts, Dawn! Unless that really was River's - uh - suffice it to say nobody needs to relive that tentacle demon from the summer.
Joxer thinks that it's morning and is wrong. Aww. you had a one in three shot of getting it! Joxer and Chad are all manly about their fights during troll weekend. You know some of us aren't into slay and tell.
Dean shows up with Hunter, the fierce demon-attacking kitten. Buffy is impressed, which just goes to show Dean that apparently he on his own was not impressive enough, and it's a good thing for him that he's now accessorizing with felines. This theory is borne out by Dawn spending more time talking to Hunter than to Dean. So apparently the kitten's a better conversationalist too. I wonder what Hunter's thoughts on Darfur are.
River meets Hunter and Dean. No prize for guessing who she was more fascinated by. And Chad and the weetiny kitten are not only wonderful exact opposites in the size department, but also a great name for a band.
River gives Dawn Berthold-watching instructions. I'm assuming step one is "Wear pants." Chad and Dawn find out that they share similar tastes in approximately everything on earth, which is why they shall never team up to fight crime in a wacky fashion.
Buffy is initially skeptical of the food, which is not a dumb thing considering that we all live in Fandom, but Chad helps talk her through taking a bite. Remember: first chew, then swallow. If, uh, you're having food, I mean.
Evie tells Dawn about the goddess Xena, who I guess will be leaving treats of some kind for all the good little girls and boys, just like Santa, Hanukkah Harry, and Regis Philbin. Chad tells Evie all about Teal Dear's adventures with Bigfoot, and then guilts me into feeling bad that I didn't know that Evie's birthday was recent. Happy birthday, Evie! You can have an extra donut!
Evie then meets Hunter, finds out about Sam's dog, and tells about cat lore from the underworld. Hunter immediately vows to smother Evie in her sleep for daring to reveal trade secrets. Beware ninja kittens, Evie!
In the evening, Cally takes over the common room that's three floors not as cool as five, and plays a copy of last year's pagent while attempting to sell Viper Juice: "Viper Juice: it doesn't actually taste like the floor of an LA nightclub, but with Red Bull already in existance, why does it need to?"
Mac compliments Cally on being such a good little junior achiever, and for some reason now the squirrels are shaking their heads at me and indicating I shouldn't use that phrase either. Huh. Okay.
Cally and Bel discuss why they date girls, and Cally doesn't believe Bel when he tells her. I guess he tried going for the "I'm only interested in Phoebe for her mind." angle. Much like how he only reads National Geographic for the articles.
Schrodinger offers to help Bel with his dark side issues. You know they sell special lamps that are supposed to counteract Seasonal Affective Disorder. Or, as I guess they'd call it here in Fandom, Extreme Moody Obnoxiousness.
Cally sells Setsuna some seriously alco... um, okay, I'm sure Cally would never do anything that would get her and other students in big helping heaps o' trouble for this, so clearly what this note was meant to say is that Cally sold Setsune some seriously unalcoholic Viper Juice. Yep. Not a drop of alcohol to be found. It was made of water, in fact. That... didnt exist. An empty glass. It was a very Zen experience, when you get right down to it.
Billy gives Setsuna a card. Is it the Ace of clubs? Oh no, did I ruin the trick? I hope I didn't ruin the trick. Teddy is surprised that Setsuna didn't kill the twins after the pagent. Well she's sure not going to do it now since there's been warning.
Cally sells Teddy one of her glasses of air, nothing but air, and in conclusion: air. Pippi wants to know if Viper Juice is made from real Vipers. It's not, but apparently a former student felt the sudden need to comment on the ingredient list of girl scout cookies, even though she did not know why.
Schrodinger buys Viper Juice and is told about the pagent, which is possibly the strangest gift with purchase Fandom has ever seen. Pippi is sarcastic to Schrodinger. My notes don't say why but if it's because he said "How 'bout that global warming, huh?" Pippi totally has my permission to hit him. In similar news, Billy and Cally argue, possibly because they're wondering if they like glasses of air because they taste great or because they're less filling.
Town, around which our lives spin in a manner not totally unlike that of a dreidel.
Ms. Poppins cleans house, and is visited by Parker and Aiden Burn. If Parker got any help studying for the Cross-Species Communication final I so want in on that action. I will pay. Cash. Don't make me beg.
Charlie and Aly have coffee together. I don't mean to look down on anybody who needs to live life on a budget but you two should really think about at least asking for a second cup. Sharing like that is a good way to spread cooties, especially in cold and flu season.
Dr. Wilson wanders along the beach, I assume while wearing lots of layers. The still not dead twins open up Sparky Repairs and get a visit from Teddy, which is like a visit from St. Nick except in every possible way that it's not.
The clinic is quiet during the day, though Nadia and Phale stop by during Dr. Wilson's shift that night. I'll assume for different reasons.
In No Dancedonia Tino has declared the club to not only be boogieless but shirtless as well. As if summoned by magic Parker shows up and, we can only assume, takes pictures.
Clark is there. No word on the state of his clothing. El performs shirtless and OH MY GOD THAT'S ONE OF MY TEACHERS, PEOPLE! Now I have to go do extra credit to make up for the subsequent thoughts.
Harper goes shirtless and chats with Parker, possibly because they enjoy the sort-of rhyme of it all. Clark and Parker, who rhyme in a different way, are both glad that Sister Fleurchon is willing to pay full price for her drinks tonight if you know what I mean, and I think that if you do you should tell me because I have no idea what this note is implying. Is she normally a cheapskate and expects other people to chip in?
Dr. Venture wants his drinks at half-price, which does not please Nadia and Walter who apparently have a deep investment in Caritas's financial future. Nadia is braceless so Walter is shirtless. I fully support the idea that good events in a girl's life should result in her British boyfriend taking his shirt off. In fact I feel this should be law. I'm sure Nadia would back me. As might the shirtless Doctor, who obviously isn't dating Nadia - that I know of - but is British and clearly getting into the celebration.
And that's all the news I have been given for today. Good night, and Happy Hanukkah!
Anyway, hi! Happy Hanukkah to those of us who are celebrating it, and to those of you who aren't as well. We exclude no one here. There are plenty of latkes for all. Enjoy! They're quite yummy. Go on, I'll wait.
