Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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."

Art Crawl!!!

Dana, just had a thought: did you just go to your "open and recently shipped orders" page? Or did you click on the order?

Because when I went to the page -- it didn't suggest that it had been shipped at all but when I clicked on the order I got the tracking information.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

NOT a spoiler, but amusing.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

I related to Hermione and SPEW. I was like that. Hell, I'm still like that. (But I have learned that the world rarely cooperates.)

Why, because he's already waiting in line? He doesn't have it yet!

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

I haz book!

Highlight of the evening: Little girl, maybe 8 or 9, hugging the book, jumping up and down, and yelling "Finally!"

Yeah, I've made it to page 52 between snoozes, and I canna keep my weary eyelids from drooping for another word (this is not a comment on the text, merely the lateness of the hour). More tomorrow!

Matt's brother is on the east coast -

we has book. Matt gets it first ( he reads faster and I don't want anyone breathing down my neck) there was a boy about age 7 who was dressed as Quarrels - his idea - I heard his mom talking

I also bought Amy's book. Which was in the section for " new arrivals" - someone had faced it out there- where it wasn't supposed to be. and it wasn't me

people yelling and screaming and cheering for the book - makes my allergies act up.
