(Tripods, Triffids: it's easy to confuse them, right? Now I wonder who would win in a fight...)
Neither would defeat the Midwich Cuckoos.
Angel: You know, I killed my actual dad. It was one of the first things I did when I became a vampire. Wesley: I hardly see how that's the same situation. Angel: Yeah. I didn't really think that one through.

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."

Tripods are taller than triffids.
This is one of those times when an author dies, and I feel bad I never got around to thanking him for his work.

Hey. New board.
I loved the Tripods. Way more than the Triffids.

I was shocked to learn John Christopher was dead, mostly because I was shocked to learn he was still alive. I read him when I was quite young, and they felt old then. I had assumed he'd died sometime in the 70s at the latest.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I've just picked out, like, 20 books to take to Half-Price tomorrow. Some duplicates, some books I know I'll never read, some books I read for class and didn't actually like, some gifts from friends...it's making me twitchy to think about getting rid of them, but...they're just taking up space, really.

If it helps, P-C, think how much pleasure they might give to someone else.

Some of these might give pleasure to someone else. Some didn't give me much pleasure. But I hadn't actually thought about that part, so thanks.

Art Crawl!!!
My copy of the Soulless manga arrived today and I was quite taken with how much the cover looks like Jilli modelled for it. The dress looks like it was out of her armoire - a manga Jilli!

While wandering around FaerieCon yesterday, in only slightly-fancier clothing than my usual, two different people asked me if I was from the Parasol Protectorate.
