Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

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

Maybe it's both? Or maybe I got the title wrong, but I thought that was it. Also a painting of a stag, I think, so maybe bothe the short story and TV show are named for the painting?

Art Crawl!!!

Yes, I believe that the painting has been famous longer than either of those things.

Fragile consisted entire or almost entirely of things that had already been published elsewhere. He even turned his one-off comic "Harlequin" into a short story. [I did not much care for it in either version.]"Sunbird", an homage to R.A. Lafferty gets Lafferty's voice down almost perfectly. [Close enough for me to say he should have cut out the last sentence, but great none-the-less.]

If you mean "Harlequin Valentine", it was a short story before it was a comic.

OK - too me-centric there. I saw it first as a comic, assumed that was how it started out.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Ok. Finished American Gods. I liked it. Not usually my cup of tea, but I enjoyed it enough to want to read Anansi Boys when we get a copy. Maybe I'll try Neverwhere. I'll have to re-read in order to say anything more than, "I liked it." But I'm like that with most books.
