So, how was your summer? Mine was fun. Saw some fish. Went mad with hunger. Hallucinated a whole bunch.

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I pretty much always have a mental image, but I could almost never describe what it actually is.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That might be what I mean? There's an image in there, but I can't look straight at it, it just flits past when it wants to.

Yeah! Like that.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I generally think of Aral as looking like Patrick Bauchau (Sydney on The Pretender). Which probably isn't that far off from the older Bruce Wayne.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I just finished Queen of the Night by Alexander Chee and I'm just annoyed that I stuck it out.

Being a Count probably contributes to my thinking Batman is a good visual. Because The Count could definitely play The Batman in a muppet production.

Karma is a cat, sleeping in my lap cuz it loves me. ~TS

I'm currently working on an upcoming exhibition at work called "The Art of Alchemy", and I'm geeking out like a big ol' very excited geek, 'cause DISCOVERY OF WITCHES! And Shadow of Night! And Book of Life! An hour ago I was 2 inches away from an open 12 foot scroll of actual alchemical drawings and symbols and text, and I just wanted to hug it so badly. And make prints from it to hang on my walls. (Also, it smelled so wonderful.)

It was very hard for me to not ask the curator if there would be video of a recreation of the Diana's Tree experiment. (Although apparently there *will* be video of at least some alchemical experiments, so squeeeee!)
