There was a TV series?That was news to me, too. But check it out: Stephen Fry, John Hurt, Dawn French, Rik Mayall...
And Kiefer Sutherland. Wacky.
Oh! I know this one! 'Slaying entails certain sacrifices, blah blah blahbity blah, I'm so stuffy, gimme a scone.'

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."

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies
1) Kiefer Sutherland?
2) Who the hell is Hickory?
3) I am amused that they turned Blackberry into a girl. Because if one must have a Strong Female Character--and one must--at the very least choose the brainy one. Brainy people are girly anyway.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
And, of course, it's one of the books Sawyer is passing the time with on LOST.
It's also used in Donnie Darko (director's cut).

Another really cool book that gave me delicious chills is "A Night in the Lonesome October," by Roger Zelazny. Jack the Ripper's dog is the narrator. Jack is trying to save the world and has a very good reason for doing what he's doing. Sherlock Holmes is in there, and Lovecraft's world, and a plethora of horror movie stuff.
It's a wonderful book.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
After reading some of today's conversation, I had a doubletake moment at the library today when a patron asked me to help him locate Watership Down. I wanted so badly to say, "Oh! I was just talking about that book today with the invisible people on the internet!" but I think I just kept it to "Oh, that's a really good book."

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.
That person was a pre-Buffista, KateP.
You should have come on to him. The sex would have been epic.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
Also, Jane Harrocks was in the TV series.
What's really interesting is that John Hurt played Hazel in the movie, but Gen. Woundwart in the show.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Who the hell is Hickory?
One of the farmhands in The Wizard of Oz, as far as I am concerned.

"Either it's murder, or this library has a very strict overdue policy."
Anyone for a round of golf with a couple of Irish writers?
That was excellent.
