A movie? Well that should be interesting....
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

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."

I want to see the Roadrunner ship SO BAD.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ok, I know what I'm listening to next.

So, Amazon now has a 1-click buy box for "Next in series" that shows up on the thank-you page when you buy a book that's part of a series.
It's...a little bit dangerous.

Yeah, that may cause me some financial distress.
So, about half into Space Opera and thinking about casting Decibel Jones. My first thought was Janelle Monae, and my second thought was Tom Holland but they are both too young, so then I thought Edan McGregor would be fun although he is not at all ethnically ambiguous and then I thought of Naveen Andrews and I bet he would be very pretty in eyeliner and rhinestones so I think he's my choice.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Anyone else read or are reading Our Kind of Cruelty, by Araminta Hall?
I'm 1/3 of the way in (just finished Part 1) and whoa. It feels like Boy Gets Girl from the guy's point of view. Suuuuper creepy.

Just finished The Calculating Stars by Mary Robinette Kowal, and I enjoyed it immensely. It's basically the novel I wanted to write (or read) after I heard about the Mercury 13.
