It's killing me not being able to click on the Book Club thread! But I had to pass out on Friday (er Saturday) after picking up my book at my friends' store at midnight and then drinking way, way too much "butterbeer" (rum & something & creme soda...delicious but evil) and then was busy/hungover all weekend so I'm only about 2/3rds through...and now am stuck at work without book. wah!
'Day' is a vestigial mode of time measurement based on solar cycles. It's not applicable. I didn't get you anything.

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."

Punishingly Intricate

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
People are saying that UPS has been fictitiously claiming that nobody was home for packages that it did not even attempt to deliver.

I have to say that the UPS guy didn't even knock on my door.

I've had so many experiences of this! I like my UPS guy a lot, and he's very indulgent, considering Bartleby accidentally chased and scared the pants off him a couple of years ago. But I get the sense that their quotas are so strict that they have to make stuff up just to get by.
Fortunately, I have the perfect counter...a sign on my door directs all deliveries to the liquor store above which I live. Just try to claim that you attempted delivery during normal business hours and neither the self-employed resident nor the landlord on the first floor answered. It's brilliant.

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

This happens to me all the time, both with UPS and USPS. Wankers.

Speaking of...I just popped in Book the Second from the Lemony Snicket "Unfortunate Events" series. Don't think I can hang with the oppressed orphans story line...even with Tim Curry's reading. Yesh.
