Even better is Flaneur. That would be the particular type of person who strolls stylishly around the Boulevard.
Ahem. Flaneuse, in my case.
That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

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."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
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.

I've been meaning to catalog all of my books after I finish my latest purge (I've already got two boxes full of cookbooks, romances, and assorted fiction titles to bring to my company's next charity booksale), so I've bookmarked LibraryThing to get me motivated. Not a bad idea to have it for insurance purposes.
(Edited to correct my spelling of "Library"--and I want to get an MLS???)

I went to check out Library Thing to discover I already have an account. Hmm..

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I checked out Lola and Corwood's shelves so far, and we all have Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell.
