Forrest ,'Conversations with Dead People'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
It is, but she also writes at Geekphilosophy.com about general pop culture issues, so that's where her book reviews show up.
ETA: Since your book does deal a lot with Firefly and Serenity stuff, as well as Buffy/Angel, she'll probably address it on the FlickFilopher site, too.
There's a new blog for girls from Gawker Media. You could send it there. It's called Jezebel. [link]
In other news, WTF, Gawker Media???
In actual other news, I swear to god one of these days I'm going to kill my boss. I hear her from her office, yelling out the door to her assistant, asking for my extension number. She's incapable of looking at a phone list? That's only the smallest annoying thing of today.
Has LJ gone all splody for anyone else?
For a minute there, I thought you meant the content.
But no, I'm getting in fine, so I suspect it's one of those occasional hiccups that varies by which server you live on.
She's incapable of looking at a phone list?
yes, yes she is. Because that seems to be either what happens to people when they get promoted to being big bosses OR the type of people who get promoted to big boss.

Cosplay is one of those things that lives or dies by the quality of execution. I've seen some fantastic cosplay stuff; outfits where people did research and put a lot of work into recreating something. Sadly, I've also seen a lot of stuff that made me want to run screaming. Then there's the middle ground, which merely makes me want to walk up to complete strangers and talk to them about the importance of a properly-fitted bra.

GOD I KNOW.
The sitting at her desk and yelling makes me INSANE. "[Other coworker who sits near me], are you there?!?!?!" (a) Telephone. (b) Email. (c) Get off your fat ass and see who's there.
I do kind of hate the word "cosplay" while often admiring the costumes. It makes me think of Jello pudding.
Hey! That's what I can do with myself! I can get properly fitted for a bra. Thanks, Jilli.
Oh wait, first I have to clean the kitchen. Grumble.
I almost went to the fancy bra store this weekend, but I was hot and sweaty when I was walking by, and figured it wasn't quite the right moment.
Top Ten Futuristic Luxury Hotels. Soooooooooo pretty.
