I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

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 finished Something Wicked This Way Comes while the electricity was out. I really enjoyed it. Although, I think I liked the opening few chapters the best; they were so atmospheric. Now what to read next?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I'm about halfway through SWtWC. I'll be reading a bit more tonight.

Maybe I'll go back to Night Circus. I was reading it before the move, and then I misplaced it and found it when I was looking for something else recently.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm reading Libba Bray's new novel, The Diviners. It's creepy and apt for this time of year.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I finished Duma Key today! The exciting last third totally made up for the often-boring first two-thirds.

move out and draw fire
Back when I was teaching high school English in Malaysia, I had the students each select a poem to do a bunch of work with, including read aloud. A Japanese boy with a very strong Japanese accent chose "The Bells."
And now I can't unhear his version.

Every so often, when it seems that everyone's sent their bill at once, I think I hear "the tintinnabulation of the bills". sigh ....

Didn't you love Elizabeth, P-C? And Wireman...I'd like to sit down and have some margaritas with him.

Elizabeth was great! And I really liked Wireman a lot. His constant use of Spanish was simultaneously annoying and endearing (especially given his reason for knowing it). I was so sad that he had to fucking die so soon after everything settled down. I know Perse didn't have anything to do with it (OR DID SHE), but it sucks.
