You're right. He's evil. But you should see him naked. I mean really!

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."

One of the benefits of reconnecting with my blood sisters is unexpected Christmas presents. My oldest sister sent me this book: [link]

which pretty much tags many of my historical interests. I'm out of practice at this family thing. I keep waffling between "People who like me who send me things!" and "People who like me who I have to remember to do nice things for!"

Always Anti-fascist!

But, really, don't we all? I mean, unless you take it down to the next level and hit the Likely Suspects list. Not that I know anything about that, but my friend does.

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

Coffee: Oh dear lord, Fay, that video is awesome.

I want to start randomly saying, "Where the hell is my crumpet?" It should be the new shorthand for "Shut up, you pretentious literary ass," seriously.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Bwahaha. Love it.

Did we know that there's an Anathem Wiki?

I'm poking through the Earth-Arbre connections page, and I'm not agreeing with all of it. I can see where they're getting most of the definitions, but a lot of them just aren't lining up for me.

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

Donald Westlake died.

Best known for his mysteries, of course, and also the ultra-hard Richard Stark novels, but I'm also fond of his science fiction and fantasy stories (mostly from the fifties when he was getting started).

Every Christmas I'm reminded of his anti-Claus, "Nackles."
