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 a great bookstore! Now, they just have to get themselves featured on Ace of Cakes for some national TV recognition--maybe they can order a funky theme cake for an event?

Oh, the storefront has been on Ace of Cakes. And they've been on the Daily Show..

and for something else Waters-related...some news magazine program.

The most funny thing about that story for me is that it says their record label puts out Country music cds. er...not so much.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Is the label really Atomic Twang? I can see from that thinking it might be country, but really--verify your assumptions, people.

I love the surnames in that article. Huffiness. Whang. Too cool.

And, uh, book stuff.

Though, if you want to be, ask Jesse. She knows that stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I was just listening to Patsy Cline.

Still not a cowgirl.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That's what ALL the cowgirls say.
