I'd blame my brain fog on quarantine, but I'd be lying. Also, hi!
Angel: You're lying. Gwen: I'm fibbing. It's lying, only classier.

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.

Hi friends.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's like an entire "essay" on who they are now, in mildly cryptic epigrammatic form.

Or a statement of kinetic energy, as the Latin verb "to be". ;)

Did anyone read Little Fires Everywhere? Anyone watching the series on Hulu? I'm really disappointed in the adaptation.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I haven't read it but I'd be curious to hear what you think the adaptation got wrong.

They added plot points left and right, and changed the motivation and action of several characters. What's on screen is much more Shocking! Suburban! Soap! Opera! than the novel, which was not as frenetic but said plenty about the nature of parents and children, and specifically motherhood, without all the added histrionics.
I only have the last episode to watch, I think, and it's been pretty much rage-watching since the second episode.

Thrive to spite them
So in Second Life there is a big event for Realy for Life , Fantasy Faire and I'm checking out the event listings and who is the guest of honor for the LitFest? Fran Wilde! Worlds collide... but in a cool way.

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