Oh, UPS now says "In Transit." It's on a truck!
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

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."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

That which does not kill you should RUN
sumi, I'm with you (if you still haven't received your book, that is). I keep looking out the window like a nosy old lady, hoping the UPS truck will be there. (I should note that I'm sitting by the window; I don't keep running to the window to check. [Although I might, if there weren't a chair here.])
Mostly, I just want UPS to deliver it while I'm here, so that The Boy and I can go hiking (it's a freaking gorgeous day, low humidity and high 70s). When tenants aren't home, UPS leaves packages at the apartment office -- which I appreciate, because leaving ANY package in the vestibule is an invitation for theft -- but the apartment office closes at 4 on weekends, and, well, WANT BOOK. That way I can start reading it after we hike.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
My book's here! Right as we're about to go to lunch.

I wonder if Alan Rickman and Daniel Radcliffe and the others reserved books so they could quick-flip to the end to see if they died.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Art Crawl!!!
Mine still hasn't shown up.
I guess I really will get it on their way back to the warehouse at the end of the night.
I can see the street from my computer or from my sofa - perfect.

A parade of dancing delivery folks throwing confetti waltzed on it and dropped it in your waiting hands?
