[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls and The Inside), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Stardance should be taught in high school. KristenT, are you listening? How about you, kat?

While you are at it, show American History X, Apt Pupil, and Swing Kids.

Make them understand the dynamic at work in these films.

I really dug Night of Power...

Oh, no. Just, uh-uh.

-t, perhaps you should hook up with ita. We are not compatible, except for the Brust thing.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

On further reflection, i really dug parts of Night of Power. The idea of being "spotless", which was totally abandoned, is what stuck with me. That and the drinking of whiskey with an eye on the clock to calibrate the drunkenness. That seemed like wisdom when I was in college...

Hold in abeyance all judgments. -t has plucked out the soul of Night of Power, choosing the best bits for display.

-t, if I say "God is an Iron", what Spider Robinson book do you reply?

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Oh that's a name I know, Spider Robinson. He's the one with the puns right? FE loves him and keeps trying to get me to read one. I roll my eyes forever and say "sure."

I despise puns.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

One of Spider Robinson's puns that stayed with me was "They also surf who only sand and wade." I used that as a tag line for a little while.

I think the last book of his I liked was Lady Slings the Booze, but it has been a while, I guess I should go check out what he has done lately.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I despise puns.

So, you consider them punishment?

Huh. I may have to check out the Spider Robinson. He was one of my brother's favorite authors. But he stayed into hard SF when I was branching off into SF/fantasy and pure fantasy. I'm finding myself intrigued with some of the classic authors I either grew disenamoured off or just never got the love of back then.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I despise puns.

So, you consider them punishment?

All is well that ends in pizza.

It's always o-pun season here with the Buffistas.
