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'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

...Come again??

On Livejournal. I referred to a conversation he was having with someone else as "mutual masturbation", and he followed a referrer log or something, found the comment, and called me a homophobe in his LJ.

Then I got to explain that I wrote gay porn for fun, and he got kind of flustered and said he thought Brokeback Mountain was a good movie.

Because books.

I've met her a couple of times and really liked her. And I would never have guessed that she has an artificial eye!

I worked with her for a while, and she is a fucking hoot. I'm so proud of her and happy for her, because she sweats out these books and just puts everything into them. And they're so good!

Twilight was like crack to me. I knew I shouldn't like it, but I did, in the end.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Maybe I'll ask for your rant after I've finished, Kate. For now, I'm enjoying it. She's raised some questions I'm curious to see how she'll answer, and there's the whole "Forks! I was there three months ago!" thing.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Hip hooray! UPS just handed me my Amazon box with the new Libba Bray!

Only 4 1/2 hours until I can go home and start reading! Although I don't totally remember everything that happened in Rebel Angels. Here's what I remember -- Gemma's laudanum-addicted father = oh noes!, new teacher = Teh EVIL, dead!Pippa = not-so-good, cute!boy = not-quite-right-for-Gemma, and IIRC, Gemma now has The Realms *within* her -- is that right?

What else am I forgetting?

Was that during his Extreme Stupid It's All About Class, Why Are You Talking About Race? period of being annoying?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Yeah. My one contribution to that slapfight was pointing out to him that, for a professional communicator, he was having to do an awful lot of clarification and restatement, and that might kinda sorta be a problem.

That sounds right, but I have to reread it before I pick up The Sweet Far Thing.

And something with the Rakshana, but I can't really remember that.
