Buying a book?
How is this possible? "Book" is a collective noun. Next you'll be buying "a" pea.
Whatever happened to the still beating heart of a virgin? No one has any standards anymore.

Let me just say that popularity with people on public transportation does not equal literary respect. --Jesse

Allyson, Natter, on job-hunting:
Trying to work out how I heard that they were looking for a fundraiser. "So I was chatting about the tenderness of capybara hair and sneering as a metaphor for vampire homosexuality at a BtVS message board one Saturday morning, and someone mentioned you needed a new fundraiser."

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Caroma, in Angel Quotes, talking about non-spoilery ways to fine tune the show:
As for Gunn, the writers need to be tied down in front of a continuous playing of 'The Best Moments of Meldrick Lewis' from HOMICIDE, to see how to write a memorable, witty, brave, conflicted black man. They have a lot in common- -both from poor families, interested in justice, good teammates but not willing to put up with any dissing from the others, not too interested in what little rules they have to break to get there, decent and honorable and yet quite imperfect.

From Natter:
Steph L: I have 4 rooms and a nomadic roach population.
Aimée: Do they use ants to move their stuff from room to room?
Steph L: I strongly suspect so.
Aimée: I think our ants use the dog. They tempt him with treats.

Shrift in Firefly:
Okay, ita is the third Death Star that was never built because leaning on her too hard will probably make her "accidentally" break your nose, and she'd shishkabob the Ewoks, and "Death Star" is too cool a name to waste on shoddy empire contract work.

OH MY GOD! ita is a moon on one of Tim Minear's shows! She's DOOMED! This is gonna be worse than Alderaan!
