Emma Bull, not full of shit. Jane Espenson, also.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

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."

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

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal
Does it count if the writer is full of the same shit as you? Cause I totally related to David Simon gift-wrapping his shitlist and taking it on the road. But it might be some kind of *bull* shit

S. Brust - not full of shit. But your FOS may vary.
Ray Bradbury - wrong on a lot of stuff, but don't think he is full of shit.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Gaiman has written about the lexicon thing, too: [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
That made me miss Tim Hunter.
Neil Gaiman? Not an ass, and one can read his non-fiction with relaxation and ease.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Just finished reading To Kill a Mockingbird.
Seen the movie a dozen times, but never read the book.
Sigh.

I do love that book. I first read it for Book Club in 7th grade (it was the favorite book of Mr. Clarke, the club's moderator), and saw the movie soon after.
It's one of the best movie adaptations ever, IMO. There was an additional scene added for the movie that I truly love, though--when Scout and Jem are laying in bed and Scout asks about their mother, all while Atticus sits on the porch and listens to them. So touching!

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
Isn't it wonderful? "Scout, stand up. Your daddy is passing by."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I'm sitting here wanting to cry because the scene where Scout finally sees Boo in Jem's room keeps coming to mind. The look on her face when she finally saw him, "Hey, Boo."
Honey, I've changed my mind. Next girl we have is being named Jean Louise.
