Buffistas

You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

“Not dead yet!”

Maybe Dracula will eat Bella.

One can but hope.

Also, anyone who enjoys Hemingway or knowing of him, should pick up THE PARIS WIFE by Paula McClain. It's a novel told from the POV of Hadley Richardson, Hemingway's first wife and chronicles their lives from their first meeting until their divorce. Beautiful story.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

I'm vastly amused by a voicemail I got from my niece yesterday. She's in college, and she called to say that she overheard a girl at school saying something about "--and they all fight to the death in this big arena!"--and so my niece ran up to her and asked if they were talking about The Hunger Games and they were, and they squeed for a few minutes and my niece learned about the movie, and before she even got back to her dorm she called me to tell me about it.

... I have another geek in the family! And she doesn't even know! *grins*

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

I've just pre-ordered an e-copy of The Pale King. I was debating whether to get it in a hardcopy or not, as the physical bigness of Infinite Jest was a not insignificant aspect of the experience of reading it for me.

I was deeply amused to learn that the author of Mockingjay had previously written for "Clifford: The Puppy Years."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And Wow Wow Wubzey!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I enjoyed the interview with Collins. And I think her unbendingness on the necessity to kill Prim is very consistent with the article and the Mockingjay!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

anyone who enjoys Hemingway or knowing of him, should pick up THE PARIS WIFE by Paula McClain. It's a novel told from the POV of Hadley Richardson, Hemingway's first wife and chronicles their lives from their first meeting until their divorce. Beautiful story.

JZ's mom concurs heartily with Barb.

Yep, yep-- JZ's mom pretty much nailed it.

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

It's on the list.
