I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

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."

Ten Thousand Doors of January was delightful! I'm so glad I read it on all y'all's rec! Did you know that erinaceous's sister repped the book? (I read acknowledgments)

I haven't read it yet, so no I didn't, but I did see Erinaceous referenced in "Because Internet", which I thoroughly enjoyed.

I was up until 1 reading Catfishing on CatNet and now I am full of gronk.

Worth it, though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I don't know how much people have been keeping up with the RWA v. Courtney Milan saga, but I cannot quite believe that today's development is that the president-elect of RWA lied about knowing Chuck Tingle.

Wait, what?

I'm almost impressed by the RWA's implosion. If they had deliberately said "Hey, let's self-destruct," it couldn't have happened this thoroughly. But here they are.

That makes slightly more sense than what I was imagining, actually. The whole Courtney Milan thing is so surreal, I am ready to believe just about anything
