"THAT'S the best they can do, wardrobe-wise? I'll stick with Lestat, thanks."
For the mid-80s, Jamie Gertz's wardrobe wasn't too terrible-- sort of that gypsy chic thing going on. I seem to recall she had several full skirts I loved.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

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."

This isn't literary, this is me bitching about spellcheck again.
From SPACE.com:
"Some pessimists predicted the Milky Way was doomed to a grizzly death by dismemberment if enough of these galaxies collide with it."
Those are not intergalactic BEARS. Those are small GALAXIES, so it should be a "grisly death". So very bothersome!
And yes I'm awake early; I get to work a normal day today.

I'm sorry, the image of the Milky Way being ripped apart by huge bears is made of awesome.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Maybe Ursa major is going to rip apart the galaxy?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
There needs to be contextcheck, in addition to spellcheck. Because even though "grizzly" was the wrong word, it *was* spelled correctly, so spellcheck just went blithely on without flagging it.
Contextcheck would be an excellent Turing test.

Ursa major with a little back up from Ursa minor?

A contextcheck would be FABULOUS, and would have totally bitchslapped the spellcheck, muttering, "Wanker."

Because books.
I think the new Word has something like it now -- some words show up with a blue line underneath them, and they're usage related. Like "bare" instead of "bear," etc. But it still gets it wrong about 85% of the time, just like the grammar check.
