I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Since it's awkward to ask Nilly to nilly herself, I'm nillying it here.
Nilly reviews Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows here in the Buffista Book club thread.

Starting around 7/30 in Bureaucracy, we started discussing having a poll to look at board usage and general thoughts on how the board should grow and change if at all. Over a week we developed a poll and then revised it and now it is up and ready for you all.
Take the Poll!

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.
Beginning August 17th, poet and journalist Victor D. Infante will host The Eclectic Word, an Internet radio show that will delve into literature's fringe with poets, satirists, alternative journalists and even (gasp!) bloggers. We'll be stepping off the beaten path of literature, taking a close look at the odd, the eccentric and the cutting-edge. Should be fun.
The show will run at 7 p.m. EST the first and third Friday of every month, as part of The World Wide Word Radio Network. You can listen to the shows live, or you can download it later for your listening convenience.
For our inaugural installment Friday, I'll be joined by Poetry Slam Inc. President Scott Woods, poet Susan B.A. Somers-Willett, author of the book Roam and the forthcoming book of criticism, The Cultural Politics of Slam Poetry: Race and the Rise of Popular Verse in America, and Marc Smith, founder of the poetry slam for "The Past, Present and Future of Slam."
Future shows:
On Friday, Sept. 7th, at 7 p.m. EST/4 p.m. PST, we're going to change gears completely, with guests Allyson Beatrice, author of Will the Vampire People Please Leave the Lobby? and Jillian Venters, author of the online column Gothic Charm School, for an installment we're calling "Manners and the Undead."
And on Friday, Sept. 21st, at 7 p.m. EST/4 p.m. PST, we'll be joined by David A. Griffith, author of A Good War is Hard to Find, and Wayne Koestenbaum, author of Hotel Theory, for "A Spotlight on Soft Skull Press."
So give it a listen! It's going to be a blast!
