It's that time of year, my annual First Lines challenge: [link]
Yes. Men like sports. Men watch the action movie, they eat of the beef, and enjoy to look at the bosoms. A thousand years of avenging our wrongs and that's all you've learned?

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'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

Whaaat? That is so weird. The whole thing is...so confusing and bizarre.

Because books.
RWA has been on the verge of imploding for many years. It's a shame because Courtney did so much heavy lifting to drag it into this century, and yet...

Such a mess. And I'm still astonished at the naivete of the people who went after her. Did they think she would simply slink away? Have they seen any of what she's done in the past in her other career?
