Hi, Lola... I'll have that song in my head, now. You don't "look like a woman and walk like a man" do you?

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."

I have to tell my mom my final book count now that they're all boxed up for the move on Monday--I've got 19 boxes completely stuffed and very heavy (thank God for professional movers!), and that's after I weeded out ten boxes since last fall.

I think I counted about 25 today now that everything is packed up, and I weeded stuff out too.

Because books.
sj, did you ever mail those books to me? Not like I don't know you're completely crazed with moving, but I just wanted to let you know they never arrived if you did.
Also, 25 book boxes! Kindred spirits, babe. I forget how many we had last time, but it was right up there. After culling, as well.

Oh wow, sj, never mind -- I just saw in Bitches tomorrow is the big day! Rest up, babe.

I'm getting the pig!
AmyLiz, sj's computer died but she says to tell you that she has not sent the books yet. (She says to also tell you that she's a bad person but I simply don't agree with that.) She will get them out to you soon, though.

She is *so* not a bad person. *I* feel bad for asking because I didn't realize moving day was tomorrow.
But I also couldn't help myself because, new books! It's a sickness.

Actually it was my stepfather's computer that I seem to have killed. The vertical hold on the monitor died while I was playing on it last night. I have all of my book boxes in one room in front of me right now and it is closer to 40 (although a few of these boxes may be magazines and other stuff).

Forty?! I feel much better now--when I told my mom about the 19 boxes I ended up with, she tried to talk me into doing more weeding. I explained that, at this point, that would be equivalent to asking me to cut my veins open. I pointed out that I got rid of 1/3 of my books already--what more does she want?
I should have made the comparison to her collection of fabric--she'd understand that.
