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

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."
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.

That which does not kill you should RUN
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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Tep, that shirt rocks.

Tep, that shirt rocks.
Somewhere in the comments section for that shirt, the designer lists all the authors who are on the shirt. I couldn't identify them all on my laptop screen (too small), but you bet that's the first thing I'm going to do when it lands on my doorstep.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Man, if that shirt weren't yellow...
You, however, will rock it.
I can't even say why I love this one so much, but oh, I do.

I dislike yellow, and I don't own *anything* in that color. I think it makes me look sallow. But I wanted the shirt really badly, and the design takes up such a large part of the shirt that I figured I could deal with the yellow.
