happy now?
Because I crushed your spirit? Yes. But only because it's the noir thing to do.
Now go Netflix Detour. And make sure you get the original from the 40s.
And don't you ever stand for that sort of thing. Someone ever tries to kill you, you try to kill 'em right back! ... You got the right same as anyone to live and try to kill people.

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."

Always Anti-fascist!
Kinda like fish in a barrell, wasn't it? I wouldn't go feeling like a heavy or anything, Hec. It was at least dented before you got here.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Bit of DETOUR trivia: the lead actor, Tom Neal, later went to prison for 10 years for the "involuntary manslaughter" - interesting term for a .45 slug to the back of the head - of his wife. [link]

There's an anthology coming out next month called "Baltimore Noir"
It's out now! I bought it for mom at Atomic Books this weekend.

Question--is there any way to put together a list of authors and be notified when they have a new book out/coming out? Amazon suprisingly doesn't seem to be able to do this (or maybe I'm just a moron who can't get to the right help file). You'd think it would be easy enough, but...

meara, on Amazon, go into Your Account, then look under E-Mail Notifications for "Manage your Amazon.com Alerts."

Ah, I see. It's still not quite as intuitive/easy as you'd think, but I guess it'll do what I want! Thanks! Dunno why I couldn't find that one when I was looking at work earlier.

I always thought the Amazon interface sucked.

Art Crawl!!!
Barnes and Noble sent me a notice that the new Jennifer Crusie book was out. Isn't that odd?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Interesting mix.
According to a description from Jesse, I might have missed a Crusie. I need to do research.
