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]

You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.
Buffy ,'The Killer In Me'
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."

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.

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

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.

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

Yeah, it's on my short list of books I always check for on the used shelves no matter how many copies I have because I'm always foisting it off on people. But now they can buy it themselves.

I can't even.

Excellent. I loaned out mine years ago in a fit of "really good book, you should borrow" and natch, not seen it since.

I think that's what happened to mine too.

I read those! I don't get HBO though so no joy for me (until the DVDs come out).
