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."

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Jelly is kissing cousins with Jello, and jam is not. It is quite simple! Do we call it "Jamo"? No we do not.
Now I want a product named Jamo.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
In reading that story, I also learned the word flaner,
Even better is Flaneur. That would be the particular type of person who strolls stylishly around the Boulevard.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
"Plus bonus points for use of the word 'mosey'."

Ahem. Flaneuse, in my case.

Well, that would be a recent innovation. The heydey of the Flaneur was the 19th century, and women weren't Flaneuses so much back then, excepting perhaps George Sand. Though "streetwalker" and "Flaneur" describe the same activity, they don't describe the same thing.

If I'd lived in the 19th C., I so totally would have been a cross-dresser. Just to be able to go places without having a giant neon sign spelling GURL follow me everywhere!

You'd look hella good in a frock coat and a top hat.

Having added a couple of shelves of books from home and my history & policy books from here at work to my Library Thing account, I note that one of the people with whom I share the highest number of books is music writer Carl Wilson (aka zoilus), who is also working on a 33 1/3 book.

Jelly is the extracted juices (food mill + cheese cloth, usually) jellied, where jam includes things like pulp and seeds. The process for making, once you get beyond preparing, is pretty much the same.
I'm a jam girl, but that's mainly because I'm too lazy to make jelly.
