Those are awesome, JZ! I'm sitting here drooling over several of them!
Yesterday, my life's like, 'Uh-oh, pop quiz!' Today it's like, 'rain of toads.'

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."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Rayne, I found them through the recommend-a-thing-you-love post at John Scalzi's Whatever (a week-long shopping guide divided by day: Monday and Tuesday were pimp-a-thing-you-wrote, Wednesday was pimp-your-music, yesterday was stuff-you-didn't-make-but-love-and-want-everyone-else-to-too, and today is charities-and-worthy-causes). The whole comment thread made me whimper with grabbyhands, but man, those posters!

Okay, seriously, which female Buffista doesn't need at least one of these?

I think they are lovely, but I don't think I could really wear one...if I wear plated metal, my neck(or finger, or wrist) breaks out in itchy hives.

Hola, all!
I want to mention that while Googling to track down the Aeslin mice Twitter feed, I came across the Aeslin mice SONG. Can't link, but it turns up in Google. Refrain: "Mark their rituals but my advice/ Don't give matches to the Aeslin mice."
Warning - it was an instant earworm for me. YEarwormMV.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Toddson,
That's by Cat Faber. It was posted on her lj in March.(She's catsittingstill on lj) Heh, I should have figured it was hers, since the phrasing seemed familiar.

Wow, you know, I hadn't realized quite how much of a dick V.S. Naipaul is: [link]
That interview, just the way he keeps repositioning himself and aggrandizing himself. He's a great man, he's above politics but thinks all Muslim countries will end in tyranny, he's bored with Obama. And the Austen comments. And the way he won't get another cat a year after his cat died, but the day after his wife was cremated he moved in with another (younger) woman. Bleargh.
Also: LeGuin is still writing, and she's older than Naipaul. Age by itself doesn't destroy creativity. But then he would probably hate LeGuin.
