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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
There are definitely some similarities to Ready Player One, but it's much less agressively, um....less nerd-culture oriented? It's like the difference between reading a book and playing a video game.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I did buy Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore (for the Kindle, which is hilariously appropriate), and it's all kinds of nerdy fun. I'm about halfway through it (I bought it a week ago, not today). I'm likely to finish it this weekend.

For fans of SF Squeecast, a certain blog column about food and genre fiction is one of those mentioned this month. Around the 20 minute mark. It's a great show, and a great conversation.
It says the bandwidth is exceeded, but does it happen to be this one?? Because she linked to this post on one of Mark's Feed posts, and I really liked it.
And then she started working at my company.
