Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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 else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

That sounds pretty awesome.

Never read it, but I just bought a copy at the library sale, so it's on the list.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I love The Confidence Man. This is the list of Melville I don't love: Billy Budd.

I suggest that people also read Typee, which was hugely popular. Tropical paradise! Sex! Naked girls! What's not to like? It does help you understand why there was such a negative contemporary reaction to Moby Dick. People were expecting Harold Robbins and they got James Joyce.

Kerfuffle Bunny should totally be the Buffista mascot.

Yes, he does.

He had a bottle of Jack Daniels as well, but he downed it in one long gulp, smashed it against a table and told the bartender that he, the bartender, was a Nazi.
