Aw hooray!
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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."

Did you know that there are books about Laura Ingalls Wilder's female antecedents? Her Scottish great-grandmother Martha, her Bostonian grandmother Charlotte and her mother, Caroline. Information about the books at the author's website.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I am so watching that later. Deb Harkness was talking about it on Wednesday and I was in all kinds of agreement, and then realized I was talking fannish tv with Deb Harkness.

Ha Kat! Yes. It was the night of the big event I put on at USC and, since she's a USC prof, I had asked her to be the speaker. She was terrific, and it was fun just chatting with her too. She's very charming.

It was also the first time that the Provost and I really had a good talk. I've been doing this for 3 years, and I knew he was shy, but I figured he just didn't warm up to me. But I guess it takes a couple years before he warms up? Who knows. Anyway, it was nicely affirming.

I was supposed to be doing freelance work this weekend but I sadly spent far too much time kibbitzing on the amazing meltdown involving the Hugo nominations. It's a complete fucking trainwreck, and I feel sorry for just about everyone except the assholes who brought it about (and the trolls who signed up to make it happen).
I loved Goblin Emperor and enjoyed Ancillary Sword, but if Lock In or The Three-Body Problem were better novels, they'll never now get a chance to compete to find out.
And I'm actively pissed off that Yoon Ha Lee didn't make the nominations list because of that bigot John C. Wright.
