It's official! I am leaving The Office behind and going to a new place that by all indications is not populated entirely by soul-sucking crazy people.
Releasing the jobma into the wild is such a good feeling.
Illyria: Wesley's dead. I'm feeling grief for him. I can't seem to control it. I wish to do more violence. Spike: Well, wishes just happen to be horses today.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
I'll be dark for the next few days as I go to visit my parents.

Greg (my husband in case I haven't burbled about him enough) has built a horror reference website at [link]
Greg is a member of his library's Readers Advisory Team and is known as The Undead Rat because of his interest in horror. The website contains lists of horror novels, graphic novels, non-fiction writing on horror, etc.--a place to find that book by that author you can't quite remember, or to find other books by that author you like, or to find more ghost stories or vampire novels or award winners--whatever your horror interest. There are about 135 pages of horror available, so it shouldn't be too hard to find something. (He also asked me to mention that he's considering this the beta version. There may be a link or two that doesn't work yet, and probably a spelling error here or there.)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
