You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

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."

Currently there's some controversy over naming a law school after the late Supreme Court justice - the Antonin Scalia School Of Law. In addition to the political implications, there's the acronym ....

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

SOX!!!!! Congratulations on the Andre Norton Award!!!!!!

Also, as smart people have noted on the twitters: Every award so far has gone to a woman (including tons of not-white women). Take that, stupid Hugos!

Here's the full list of winners: [link]

I have to admit, I'm surprised Uprooted beat The Fifth Season. Uprooted was good, but TFS was IMO both technically brilliant and very ambitious.

And Mad Max won! YAY!

Really, it's impressive: all the winners were women.
