Yeah, the guy who did that piece really limited himself with five. And I was surprised Hughes wasn't on there, too. He was all broody and angsty, too.
Inara: Who's winning? Simon: I can't tell. They don't seem to be playing by any civilized rules that I know.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
I am currently listening to _The Strain_ whilst commuting and reading _13 bullets_ while at the gym. I should probably not be simultanously indulging in two different varieties of vampire lore...but....

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
How is Hughes = mayhaps gay! a little known fact?
Thought that was knowledge comma common.

I didn't know that about Hughes. I didn't know it about Kerouac, either, though.

Possibly, I view the world through LGBT lenses. My world contains much of the queer knowledge!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Man, I just discovered one of my co-workers was gay. I never know these things.

Thrive to spite them
Has anyone read The Ice Queen by Alice Hoffman?
I started it and I'm not sure I want to finish, it's weird I don't like the main character very much but I don't think you are supposed to but I'm torn about wanting to see if she turns out better. I was wondering if I was the only one with that reaction.

“Not dead yet!”
I didn't know that about Hughes. I didn't know it about Kerouac, either, though.
I knew that about both of them but then, I'm a collector of odd facts.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Askye, I listened to it on CD, it gets more interesting as the story goes on, but I never really cared for the main character.

I've had a hard time with Alice Hoffman lately. Some of the new books I've loved, some I've just never gotten into.
Also, I now want to reread On the Road. And Sylvia Plath's journals.
