Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

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."

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

Good to know, I'll keep that in mind. Thanks, Gar.

Eta: I just found that! Intriguing.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I'd like to read the "Grave Sight" series, but I'm waiting till the first one comes out in paperback. Or I can find it at a UBS.

I've read all the Sookie books -- they are entertaining, but light. Sometimes Sookie annoys me, but her character develops in the series as you read along.

Good poolside or Sunday afternoon reading, IMO.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Good lord. One of the blogs I read quoted this today:

From John Updike's Brazil:

"Standing with her [Isabel] in the warming waterfall, soaping her skin so its yielding silk was overlaid with a white grease, and then letting her soap him [Tristão] in turn, he felt his cashew become a banana, and then a rippled yam, bursting with weight."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

What the fuck?

I think the world has run out of penis metaphors.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'm pretty horrified that "bursting" is used as a descriptive before they actually get to the sex, let alone finish it. Sounds painful.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I wonder how he felt about being described as a cashew. "The water's very cold!"
