In yesterday’s issue of JOHO, I wrote:

[Heidegger] traced this back to our desire not to die, but somehow forgot to notice the fact that we’re embodied: no one can die our death for us because no one can first take our shower for us.

In an interview published in today’s Salon, Joss Whedon, talking about why Buffy has been acting more like a male hero this year, says:

It also came from “I’ve come back from the dead!” This is no small thing, no coming out of the shower.

Omigod, am I on the same psychic wavelength as Joss Freakin’ Whedon? If only!

Meanwhile, my wife and I are upset that we’re going to be on a plane tonight, unable to watch the last Buffy with our 18-year-old daughter who is tightly bonded to the show.
