Oh, like that hasn't been a lifelong pursuit of yours, Hec. But I don't remember the last time I underlined anything, even if I'm not cool.
We have to see the chimp playing hockey! That's hilarious! The ice is so slippery, and, and monkeys are all irrational. We have to see this!

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 am wrestling (like, molasses-wrestling, not fun at all) with style guides today, and y'all are making me weep.
Going home now. APA and MLA can BITE ME.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Amen to that shite. APA is the format I have to use on EVERYTHING for the next three years.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Is there any style guide that uses both italics and underlining, for two different things? I can't recall ever learning any.

If you can't do italics - you underline. That's what I learned from back in the day of typewriters.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Right. MLA is just wicked old-fashioned. (Although possibly not any more, as they are revising for a 2008 publication date.)

Re. Harry Potter, I'm not sure what I'm looking forward to more: finding out how it ends or watching fandom reactions to how things end.

That's right! It'll be interesting to see some fans' heads explode. Like the Harry-Hermione 'shippers who retreated to their own personal bubble after HBP and refused to acknowledge what JKR wrote.

I know! Because no matter what happens in the final book, there will be some portion of fandom that flips right out.

I'ma flip right out cause it's over.
I might end up pulling what I pulled when Return of the King came out. I refused for weeks to go see it cause I didn't want it to be over cause I loved it so much.
