Not at all. Just sayin'
This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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."

Socks are a running theme throughout the series. They are used as symbols of freedom, redemption and love.
I'm reading Reflections, a book of essays on writing by Diana Wynne Jones and am loving it. It's making me want to re-read everything of hers.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I read Diana's website a while back and it has a longish memoir about her childhood during WWII when she and her sisters were evacuated during the blitz. Really fascinating. Among other things, her neighbors out in the country included Beatrix Potter and T.H. White, both of whom were apparently quite grumpy.

I'm about halfway through Blood Canticle, and it HAS to have been written as a comedy, right? Because it's hilarious. Sure, I side-eye the book pretty hard every time Lestat says "Dude" or "Yo", but then there are lines like "Not that the absence of hot chocolate meant anything metaphysically, of course", which are giggly delights.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I blame you entirely for the fact that I am going to eventually read this. Blame.
