Marcus is fascinated with katana swords. I think I first noticed his interest after the Matrix Reloaded came out. There was definitely some impressive sword fighting in that movie. After Kill Bill came out, though, I knew he was hooked. It seemed all he could talk about for weeks was how awesome of a sword the katana was. He has even expressed an interest in getting a couple of swords so that he can take classes to learn how to use them. Because of monetary issues, I haven't been able to get him one for a gift as I had intended to do back then. I'd still really like to surprise him with one someday. Maybe I could get him a sword stand as well so that we could display it on our mantle. That would be cool.
