Faith: A kid. Angel's got a kid. Wesley: Connor. Faith: A teenage kid born last year. Wesley: I told you, he grew up in a hell dimension. Faith: Right. And what, Cordelia spent her last summer as… Wesley: A divine being. Faith: Uh-huh. Can I just ask--What the hell are you people doing?

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."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

But there is no way to figure out if it's the original formula, or if it's the new, not at all burgundy formula. Dammit!

She does say she only has one tube, which suggests it's not that easy to find.

It's the newer packaging, which means it's the new version of the color. Drat!

The world of discontinued makeup is fascinating. Feverish treasure hunting!

A couple of years ago, Plei found a seller on eBay that was selling off a stockpile of the Charles of the Ritz "paper white" compacts. I think we each bought two.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I did, too. As well as some of the eyeliner.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I wore that lipstick all through college-- I am sad now, even though I imagine it would now make my teeth look really yellow.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Whoa, wacky synchronicity. Lucia di Lammermoore just opened in San Francisco yesterday.

Also, it's being broadcast for free tonight at the Giants ballpark. People are bringing blankets and snacks and bedding down on the playing field.

That kicks SERIOUS ass. I adore Lucia.

The Giants have another promotion where you get to sleep on the field over night. One huge slumber party of Giants fans.

I am the proud owner of Poe For Moderns which includes beatnik inspired readings over jazz backing, as well as the most jaw-dropping jazz vocal ensemble version of "The Raven" you probably don't want to hear.

Ooo. Do you have "Closed On Account of Rabies"?

I had to wait till I was home to look it up, but if there's a "most goth love letter" category, Keats wins:

I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks, your Loveliness and the hour of my death. O that I could have possession of them both in the same minute. I hate the world: it batters too much the wings of my self-will, and would I could take a sweet poison from your lips to send me out of it.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Who else has read The Stress of Her Regard?

Oh, my! Yes! I love that book, although I love Last Call even more

Gothiest Opera? Probably "Bluebeard's Castle."
