sumi, that seems about right.
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

I don't know how many Chicagoistas spend their time downtown, but I have found my new favorite used book store: After Words on Illinois. New & used books upstairs, a giant basement of used books downstairs, and a store cat.

I guess today is the day that Cormac McCarthy appears on Oprah.

Do you think he'll kill her?

Hey. New board.
I think LibraryThing combined with Delicious Library on my Macbook is going to be a beautiful thing. I may have my weekend planned (up to the Tony Awards, that is)
ETA: Oh yeah, I came in here to say that this thread inspired me to start reading a lot of Lois McMaster Bujold. I finished the Young Miles compendium ( The Warrior's Apprentice, The Vor Game, and "The Mountains of Mourning") in about a day and a half. They were very good. I'm about 50 pages into the first novel in the i Miles, Mystery, and Mayhem compendium ( Cetaganda is the original title) now.
I had forgotten how much I love a well-written space opera. I can really fall into these characters, and I'm even starting to figure out the politics of the universe.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Gris, have you seen that Salon is doing a week of articles leading up to the Tonys? It's nice for me, since I'm not able to see the nominated musicals.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I'm in the middle of The Vor Game right now. The one shortcoming is not enough Cordelia.

Oh, I don't know about that, but I'd approach any personal meeting with McCarthy with extreme caution.
