Buffistas

Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

Discussion Threads

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."

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

the NYTimes review has taken just the teeniest edge off my zeal.

The NY Times review increased my zeal to get the book

Here's the quote that made me happy. I don't think it's spoilery, but I will white font and delete it if anyone else thinks it is:

With this volume, the reader realizes that small incidents and asides in earlier installments (hidden among a huge number of red herrings) create a breadcrumb trail of clues to the plot, that Ms. Rowling has fitted together the jigsaw-puzzle pieces of this long undertaking with Dickensian ingenuity and ardor.

Wow, if I was Rowling, I'd be inscribing that review in bronze and hanging it in the office. That's some heady company they're comparing her to.

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

That's 48 hours TOO LONG.

Although, I am reading quite a bit of fic. (Thank you very much!!!)

I sometimes wonder if there's something wrong with me that I'm this invested in a work of fiction where I just feel every little thing that they feel.

And then I look around at all of youse and think, "Well, if there's something wrong with me, there's something wrong with them and I'm ok with that. We're all wrong together."

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I was reading GoF last night, and Minerva grabs Hermione's neck/throat, to steady herself when she's slipping on that water from Peeve's water balloons. Seemed odd.

And, I will wear that t-shirt with you, Aimee.

I just read that chapter last night too and had the same reaction.

Did you get my reccie for Midnight Confessions, Aimee? I like that one a lot for the strong Weasley family (both immediate and extended) that it had, as well as the neat idea of family magic.
