It’s been an exciting month! I’ve celebrated my three-year wedding anniversary with my husband and my 30th birthday. I’ve spent great time with family and friends, and had great stays in hotels, a beautiful return to school, and an extraordinary visit to an animal sanctuary! And, now, to top it all off, I’m getting ready for an early flight tomorrow – Pop Culture Conference, here I come!!!

Here’s a sneak peek for my paper presentation on death and sacrifice in season five of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
