I am Happy

So it’s not even 10 AM yet, and I’m already in a good mood. Why? Thanks for asking.

Good News Item #1 came to my attention courtesy of the concert listings in Eye: The Long Blondes are coming to Toronto in June! This makes me very happy.


However, there is the very real danger that I will become deleriously obsessed with Kate Jackson if I actually see her in person. I am willing to take that risk.

Good News Item #2 came courtesy of my friend and yours, The Internet. Dark Horse has revealed the cover to Buffy Season 8, #6:


Frankly, that’s not one of Jo Chen’s best covers. But it’s got Faith on it, and that makes me happy; the fact that Faith’s arc is being written by Brian K. Vaughan makes it super-duper happy. To be honest, I’d been looking forward to Vaughan’s arc moreso than Joss Whedon’s opening, but then Joss had to go and knock #2 out of the park, setting a pretty high standard. (Review forthcoming, perhaps? We shall see, I suppose.)

So yeah, good day.
