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."
Nicely done, bunk. (And I totally would have called that town A-kee-lah, and gotten "You're not from around here, are you?" Of course, I get that around here, too. Even though in meatspace, I'm not likely to be mistaken for a Charm City homegirl.) There are a lot of black women coming up a few years after me that spell their name the way I do..that misunderstanding has come up a few times.
Thanks, Erika!
