Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

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."

"What kind of magical sunshine and lollipop world do you live in? Because you need to be medicated."-SFist

Heh. I knew that was wrong when I was typing it but couldn't be bothered to check.

I only know because of the EU treaty that was signed there.

move out and draw fire

I kind of dislike the cold metal shelves, when the space cries out for wood, sort of a roodscreen type thing.

But, what a nice thing to do with that space.

George R.R. Martin was interviewed for a podcast called "Law Talk." I am in the process of downloading this now so I'm not entirely sure what the topic will be but they have been doing a series of podcasts on Law and Hard Fantasy.

I read sumi's link first as Susan Sarandon and was all, "Is there nothing that woman can't do?"

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Holy shit, that bookstore!

It is *that* bookstore, isn't it?

If by "*that*" you mean the one I wrote about? No.

If you mean by "*that*" "Jaysus Christy and the Pips, *that* is a goddamn awesome fucking bookstore, holy fuck-crackers", then, yes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Yes. This.

I finished reading The Golden Compass last night. Wow. Want more book! (I'm visiting my parents right now. They're both working today, so I have no car to get to a bookstore. Going a bit crazy with Want More Book!)

The one line toward the end, the "Think of Adam and Eve like imaginary numbers," just had me blinking with how utterly perfect it was. And I don't think that was the reaction Pullman intended, but whatever. I also spent a while last night looking up various churches' doctrines of original sin , to figure out what Lord Asriel was talking about in the last few chapters.
