I walk. I talk. I shop, I sneeze. I'm gonna be a fireman when the floods roll back. There's trees in the desert since you moved out. And I don't sleep on a bed of bones.

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'm following Mark Reads LotR and how he's not going to watch the movies till after he's read the books. I wonder if he'll be as pissed at how they changed Faramir as I was.

I have that one, too, JZ. More thoughtful than fun, but I do like it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Alrighty, then, I'll go with the Callahan. That looks...different from what my classmates are reading (Someone is, in fact, reading Tuesdays With Morrie)

Anne Rice has a werewolf book coming out next month.

I don't know if I'll read it, but I am hoping she does a book tour and it comes to Seattle. Yes, I will go wait in line just so I can get her to autograph my 1st editions of Interview and Lestat. I own my cliches.

Don't laugh, but for what it is, I actually liked reading Tuesdays With Morrie. Although I related more to Albom as the student who had not become all that he expected to, than Morrie, who sometimes seemed like a real man and sometimes seemed like gimp, Jewish, Yoda.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I worked on a production of it, which is the distilled essence of the Hallmark-y-ness of the book. So, I have a more eye-rolly view of it than I otherwise would.

I suppose...the movie was embarrassing, Jack Lemmon or not.

I have not seen the movie, so I can't tell you if it's more or less @@ than the stage show.

It's like "When Good Actors Make Bad Projects" with Hank Azaria and Jack Lemmon. I can't decide if that's the saddest part or if it's that as a crip, I'm so hungry to be "represented" that I watch these horrible things.
