Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

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."

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

Woohoo! Thanks, -t!

Oooh, that sounds like it might be all new, unrelated to any of her previous. How exciting!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm looking forward to reading that after I get the tree/apartment decorated.

Our wings are not tired.

I have book club via Zoom tonight for my NY club. My sister has a sinus infection and it was her book choice so I am pinch-hitting for leading discussion. Trevor Noah's Born a Crime, which was excellent. I should have listened to the audio book though as reviews say his narration was awesome. Even reading it you could hear his voice clearly. I'll see how the whole Zoom thing goes. All summer we had people joining remotely and it worked out okay.
