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."

If it doesn't work, ita, I'll try to recreate the steps I took. It was a pain the ass to get everything to work but now it's kinda great.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think I got it working, Kat, but damn that was a lot of steps. And installs. And glayvin.

Now I just have to remember to read those damned books. The selection was irritatingly low. Most of the stuff I wanted wasn't available. The artificial restriction on resources is annoying, although I understand it's not financially viable to have infinite copies.

They make it painfully difficult, don't they?

I'm on a lot of waiting lists for books there. They have some stuff I'm excited about. And yes, the resource restriction blows.

BUT it means I don't have to go to a branch to get books and I like that. And free.

I want the young actress in "True Grit" to play Katniss .

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I'm still rooting for Kaya but I wouldn't cry if they cast Hailee.

I've heard Kaya but I haven't seen her? What is she in? I saw "True Grit" last night and was blown away by how good Hailee was without her reduced to cute. And none of us wants Katniss to be cute! Plus, she's young enough to play the entire trilogy without getting too old.

Kaya is very cute but in an underfed sort of way and I think she also looks kind of deadly. I know her from the BBC show Skins where she plays Effie.

Thanks! She looks the part too. Interesting that I was reading sone blogs last night; apparently many readers took her to be Hispanic due to the "long dark hair" and olive skin.

Here she is from the UK Hunger Games cover.
