BUFFY AUCTION

Anyone been checking out the www.buffyauction.com site? A fairly unimpressive assortment of unmemorable set dressing, but already going for staggering prices. Who knew Buffy fans had that much disposable income?

The only items of note are Gile’s briefcase and one of Dru’s dolls. Oh, and that cool Medusa statue that Willow fed power in to attempt to destroy the world (although curiously it’s described as being from season 7 rather than 6). Otherwise, eh. But maybe more nifty stuff will be coming along in the next days. But wow, if even the fairly crappy stuff is going for four figures, I can’t imagine what’ll happen if Spike’s coat, or some stakes, or–God, Sid the dummy–hit the bidding.

NEAT BOWLING TIP

If you’re a right hander faced with trying to pick up a 10 pin, or a left hander trying to get a 7 pin (arguably the toughest single-pin conversions), and you’re having trouble, try this: Don’t aim at the pin, don’t aim at one of the arrows. Instead aim at the REFLECTION of the pin on the lane. I have no idea why this works, but I was taught this a few weeks ago, and I pretty much cover the 7 pin nine times out of ten.

What, did you think I was going to discuss “Angel”?
