Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

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."

Because books.

Oooh, I like the sound of that.

Here's an excerpt. I am really enjoying it. AND the cover is great too: [link]

That which does not kill you should RUN

I just put that on hold at the library (even though my hold list is comically large -- I have Bossypants waiting for me, because I had never read it, and Charlie Jane Anders' book on the way).

not your mom's socks.

Thanks so much you all! Just returning home. I have a lot of notes to write and hugs to share around (to those who hug, otherwise: friendly smiles)

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Sox, I'm so happy for you!

Congratulations, Sox!

Damn, Pat Conroy died: [link] I first read The Prince of Tides in college, and he was my favorite author after that, for a LONG time.
