No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

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."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I realized I still haven't named my new Kindle! Previous device names include:

  • Skindleshanks (replaced after water damage)
  • Booky McKindleface (stepped on)
  • Sir Readsalot (cheapo backup Kindle, in a drawer somewhere)

I feel like I pretty much peaked with Skindleshanks and now I'm at a loss.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Another book set in Scotland, My Heart's in the Highlands. Reviewer liked it a lot.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Doctor Richard Skindle?

Skindle Milk?

Beauty is only skindle deep?

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

Cruel to be Kindle?

I thought that it might have a certain appeal to some of the Buffistas.

For Dread Nation and Deathless Divide - I came across information about Mary E. Pleasant and wondered if one of the characters was based on/inspired by her.

I'm reading T. Kingfisher's Bread Mage book and it's of course entirely charming. She's so good.
