Good - you should buy it. I should reread.
We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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."

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Oldman and Roth are an awesome comedy duo in R&GaD!! I'd love to see them teamed up again in something similar (not that there are many things that are similar to R&GaD - maybe Waiting for Godot, which Beckett always saw as a sort-of comedy).

Knut! All sorts of bravo! I loaned "Superpowers" to a friend, who then broke down and bought it, and is recommending it to a couple of his friends. Hopefully all will be purchases.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Has anyone ever read a book called Captain Blood by Rafael Sabatini? I found a cheap copy of it on the bargain rack of Barnes and Noble today and it looked interesting, so I picked it up. Any good?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
It's the basis for the Errol Flynn movie of the same name, a classic swashbuckler.

Thanks, Hec. I've never seen the movie.

It's great! Though I prefer the Sea Hawk because the climactic duel in the surf.

Ann, that's a ferret.
They're both Errol Flynn on a ship, and therefore both worthy of watching. I first saw Captain Blood as part of a double feature with My Favorite Year.
Sabatini made a career of enjoyable literary swashbucklers. CB is certainly worthwhile if you have any taste for the genre.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
You know, I'm trying to stick to a budget, and I don't *need* this, strictly speaking, but I think you will all understand that this t-shirt needed to be mine.

I saw Connie Willis tonight! She read from her unfinished book. Yay, hearing something new. BOO, book that is still not done!! Sigh.
