Finally got a chance to watch the speech. I will follow her anywhere.
Zoe: Captain will come up with a plan. Kaylee: That's good. Right? Zoe: Possibly you're not recalling some of his previous plans.

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."

Because books.
Anyone else read or are reading Our Kind of Cruelty, by Araminta Hall?
My library hold just came in and I just started it. It looks fantastic.

Oooh, Baader-Meinhof Phenomenon at work. I am quite confident I was completely unaware of "Araminta" as a name before the last couple of weeks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It's a character in Crazy Rich Asians, right?

I have an old children's book that was my mom's and the doll in it is named Araminta.

I checked Google Books Ngram viewer - which plots the frequency of words in Google Books over time - and the first use of "Araminta" is in 1709 - [link] .
FWIW.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Remember Cockygate? well, in corporate news, P&G Wants to Trademark LOL and Other Millennial Phrases.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Todd, I just read that about 15 minutes ago in our local news (P&G is headquartered here), and my exact reaction was "...didn't Cockygate put an end to this nonsense???"

There was also the author who tried to trademark "dragon slayer" ... don't think that ever went anywhere.

I wonder if anyone at P&G remembers when their logo was rumored to be satanic.
