Fun topic on the A Song of Ice and Fire forum about references that GRRM makes - some literary, some not.
Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

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."

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
ooh ... I got a notice from Amazon that my pre-ordered copy of The Book is on its way. I'm going to give it to a friend who doesn't quite understand the appeal of the Buffistas. AND Jilli quoted me in her GCS review - yay!

Anybody read Soon I Will Be Invincible ? [link] What with the whole superhero-supervillian thing, it seems very Buffista.

Psst! It was written by JZ's ex-boyfriend. The guy known around the house as, "The Boy Who Broke My Heart."

Well, I would never wish JZ's heart broken, but this way she ended up with the right person. So...

Dog is my co-pilot.
My BiL has a new book out last month. It's Merchant of Death: Money, Guns, Planes, and the Man Who Makes War Possible by Douglas Farah and Stephen Braun. (SB is the BiL.) It's about international weapons trade, specifically Russian arms dealer Viktor Bout. Steve and his co-author have an in store appearance at Politics and Prose in Georgetown (Washington, DC) on Thursday. Come on down if you're in the area!

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
What's the source of "Methinks the lady doth protest too much"?

Gonna guess "Macbeth" or "othello" Somebody smarter will probably get it before me.(smacks forehead) Of course, and I *know* Hamlet.(Not like I want to date Judith, but...) I'm just a hoople.
