Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

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 must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

One episode of Designer Guys showed the hosts going to an antique book dealer to find out the best way to choose, handle, and display books. They had a book-oriented client, so they decided to embrace book-love and do it up right.

And that's when they became my one true Cutiehead Design Team.

ETA: And they have a book of their own. [link]

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I once saw a great home decorating book all about decorating with books!

Was it this one?

Yep, that's it! I recognize that cover.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

For the extreme niche, it should be a book about decorating with books about books.

And that's when they became my one true Cutiehead Design Team.

Those are the former Designer Guys! they have two new shows called: Design Rivals [link] and So Chic! [link]

Here are the new Designer Guys: [link]

Thanks, Megan. I get Design Rivals on one of the home improvement channels (yay deep cable). Sadly, I think Steven dyed his lovely red hair sort of brownish on DR (probably because he wanted to wear a lot of pink shirts), so my fondness for tall, chatty red-heads with big hands doesn't get quite as much play. But he and Chris are still loads of fun to watch. And they put together some good looking rooms, too.

Yep, that's it! I recognize that cover.

I have it somewhere. I should find it while I sit here trying to figure out where the heck to put all of these books.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Anyone read Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books? Didja know Alan Ball, creator of Six Feet Under has optioned it, and is making an HBO series of it? They start filming next year.

That's all I know; I dunno if they've cast or anything. I like the books; I think they are lovely fun entertainment. I read the newest one and all I can think about (not really that spoiler-y) Quinn is that Harris must have a big Vin Diesel jones, because her descriptions of him are pretty much VinD to me. And since I have the hots for Diesel, I pretty much ok with it!

I like it; she clears up some hanging plot points in this one, which is good.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I just found a new edition of Pat Murphy's The City Not Long After which is one of the best fantasy novels set in San Francisco. If you're looking for something good to read in the next two weeks, you could do worse.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Cool. I love that book, but my copy has vanished into the ether.
