"Red" prompts evil thoughts

Well, "Red" was certainly helpful in raising my spirits, which are currently being dampened by our friendly neighborhood sniper. (I live in Fairfax County, motto: "Duck! And take notes!")

So, um, you know what I'd really love to see? ( only slightly spoilery )

Behold the power of Clex (bwahahaha*cough*ha*cough*)

So my brother and sister-in-law are expecting a baby in February. First grandchild on either side so we're all very excited. A few weeks ago they had the ultrasound, the one that hopefully reveals the sex of the child. Now, they'd had two sets of girls' names and one set of boys' names all picked out and were just waiting to find out what the baby's going to be.

Turns out it's a boy and so his first and middle names -- hold on to your fannish hats, folks -- are going to be:

Alexander Kent

And! They're going to call him Xander.

He is so going to be Aunt Vyola's boy.

Yes, they do know about my fannish persuasions. I watch Buffy and Smallville at their house every week, cackling madly all the while their dog and cat enjoy Interspecies Romance. And they went ahead and did it anyway. *g*

Hee!
