Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

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."

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Some of her letters to him at this point are pretty interesting in a "fuck you, you goddamn quitter wimp!" way.

Yes they are! I read their letters about a year ago and it was pretty fascinating.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

This was a time when scholars and priests thought that just being near women would taint them and keep them from achieving intellectual and spiritual enlightenment.

They were right, you know. It's true. We have amazing powers. 'Cause we're pretty and smell nice. And -- boobies.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Not for nothing, but there are millions of men alive today who are terrified of the Magical Powers of Women. Even just looking at a woman could fuck you up!

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

Plus you could get muddy down there so close to the earth.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The only Magical Power of Women that terrifies me is the abilty possessed by ones in checkout lines ahead of me to agonize over insignificant purchases, misplace their checkbooks and ID, make small talk with the cashier, etc. while I have frozen food defrosting in my hands.

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

I have two nonfiction book recommendations:

Phil Dusenberry, Then We Set His Hair on Fire
Simon Singh, Big Bang

Both books are great reads, very interesting, and made me think about things in a new way.

What? Men don't do this too? Or is it just where you are more women do the grocery shopping then men?

aka "The artist formerly known as Corwood Industries."

At the risk of being labelled a slug-eating he-man, as a rule, men don't chat while shopping.
