This girl at school? She told me that gelatin is made from ground-up cow's feet and that every time you eat Jell-O there's some cow out there limping around without any feet. But I told her that I'm sure the cow is dead before they cut its feet off, right?

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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Um, that link goes to a trailer for Bohemian Rhapsody. (Not that I mind!)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

It's possible the link to that trailer was left in a car for too long.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Well trolled, Dana. Well trolled indeed.

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

Theodora Goss liked my comment about European Travel for the Monstrous Gentlewoman in Facebook. Geeble.

Pardon me, I'll be rebuilding my illusion of invisibility for a while.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

so, I just randomly met "Catherine Tinley" who just won the Rita for best short historical and is on her way home from Denver. I thought that might be meaningful to someone here.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Atropa, I dunno whether you would like this book or not, but have a look at the blurb: [link]

It has a different (well, new to me) origin story for vampirism. I enjoyed it. It has some British humour, some office humor, some math humor, some IT humor, some horror, some action.

It is book 5 in a series (the others feature adventure/horror hooks other than vampires), but there is enough exposition to make it okay as a stand-alone, I think.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

That looks like something I'll have to check out!

ION, I am ridiculous. I just bought a 1st edition paperback of My Sweet Audrina by V.C. Andrews (with the original keyhole cover). It was under $5 with free shipping! It's the next thing we're reading for the horror paperback podcast I co-host!

Of course, I am now sulking that I can't find a 1st edition keyhole cover paperback of Flowers In the Attic.
