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?

Oh, UPS now says "In Transit." It's on a truck!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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.

They didn't even knock on the door.

They didn't even knock on the door.

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