You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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."

That final poem is a pretty amazing mix of ick and having no idea what he's talking about. Didn't he used to seem like a genuinely thoughtful person? Like, a person who could think, at least?

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

I think you're right, Gud.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

And now the Chronicles of Narnia books Kindle editions are $1.99 a piece.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

And as always, be careful out there.
