This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

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."

“Not dead yet!”

You mean there's someone else who is willing to take credit for that crap?

Sadly, that was my first thought as well.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Best Twilight-themed t-shirt EVAR: [link] (It's not the Buffy-staked-Edward one.)

Et tu, Nordstrom? [link]

(I'm sllightly offended to have Twilight crap side-by-side with J. Peterman)

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

Doesn't it sound like Nordstrom is trying to talk themselves into it?

We all are crazy about The Twilight Saga movie.

It’s so romantic, casts hot actors and now we can buy not only make up tips but the Twilight Line!

It’s so great!

"It's so great!" is my new favorite advertising copy. It's up there with Kermit's "Soap: It gets you clean."

You want a Twilight make up tip? Here: If you're wearing white face makeup in a vampire movie (or anywhere, really), BLEND IT PAST YOUR JAWLINE. YOU ARE NOT A MIME. ALSO APPLY IT TO YOUR GODDAMN EARS.

(I am not commenting about Twilight-themed clothing, other than to gently snark that I see that Nordstrom now takes their fashion cues from Hot Topic. That's so ... very.)

If you're wearing white face makeup in a vampire movie (or anywhere, really)

Or dark makeup...say, if you are Adam Ant and wearing a midriff-baring top, and everyone's wondering if you are wearing a white t-shirt underneath because those abs are not even the same race as your face.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

heh ... at jury duty the other day one juror called for a panel had the last name "Ant" and I immediately thought "Adam?"

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I just finished reading Julie and Julia. It made me want a Project. Not necessarily cooking, but some sort of Project like that.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Another rather good Twilight themed t-shirt (also not "...and then Buffy staked Edward. The end." Which remains my very favourite.)

Edward before he was sparkly...

Thrive to spite them

Sophia I'm a bad library patron and I've run up large fines before.

The library forgave one of the fine the first time it was really big, they offered to do it. Then I discovered that when I got a library card (after not having gone for so long) they misspelled my last name in the computer and after almost a year when I used my ID to check out I discovered there was a fine that was years and years old. That one they didn't forgive but I was able to pay it off gradually. I think every time I checked out books I made a small payment on it.

That one was books that I hadn't returned and since lost. Probably 5 books and the fine was like $90.
