When you look back at this, in the three seconds it'll take you to turn to dust, I think you'll find the mistake was touching my stuff.

Buffy ,'Lessons'


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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I don't know, but I am definitely trolling with this one.

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

I'm just asking about his use of "affect".

Oh, I think that's just misspelling.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

It seems like there should be a different word for consensual performance-art trolling.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My father's reaction to Hunger Games (he's not finished yet -- he just got past the banquet): "These are really hard books to read. It just grabs your emotions and doesn't let go. I mean, in the Harry Potter books, characters died, but this is just kids killing kids, relentlessly." I don't think I've ever seen him react to a book like that before. I told him that the other two are even more so, and he said that he's not sure if he's going to read those, in that case.
