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."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

You know, the next time I find $300 in my couch cushions.

The Salvation Army just picked up my old couch -- I hope The Boy remembered to take the stash of $100 bills out of it!

I'm asking family members for B&N giftcards just so I can get a Nook. And, no, I don't get a discount on it even though I work there. Damnit.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Oops, wrong thread! Reposting in Bitches.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I'm sure I'm overreacting

Not overreacting. You're about to have a baby. Low key, low stress is important.

Sorry, lady! Come to Bitches!

Glam, you have the greatest excuse in the world, you're about to pop. I'd love to see you all but..."I'm just not feeling up to it." "I'm not good in large groups right now." "My doctor told me I need quiet time." But really, you are at a point where you can just say, I'm not up for it, and who needs another excuse.

Nice. You can always blame it on the doctor if they won't just back off with your word that you're not up for it.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm thinking of getting an e-reader in the near future, probably one of the Sonys. Unless I find out something to send me toward the Kindle or Nook.

The BN.com Nook webpage links to various online reviews (all positive, of course!), so take that into account, but I liked this look at the Nook. It points out the future potential of the thing, especially its use of Google's Android, which can lead to a lot of hackability in the future and the possibility of loads of aps if it takes off. Kindle is proprietary, so no aps unless they support them.
