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.
Great review! I love that she sees how Allyson bucks the stereotypes.
However, I am put out by the fact that she calls the Nilly essay "the weakest." Clearly she has no magic in her heart. I will give her props for then following the criticism with a huge compliment to A's engaging writing voice, however.
She confused the Bronze and here which makes me giggle
Also this.
Congrats, Not!Kristen!
In other VP news, I just got word that my Amazon pre-order has shipped -- I suspect that the next big batch of copies will be getting into people's hands this week.
In other mailing news, I just got word that my passport application (which was mailed July 11) has already been processed and my passport has been mailed to me!
Fluke? Or is the passport office finally getting its act together?
Of course, I conclude nothing until my passport is in my hot little hands. And with my name spelled correctly this time!

Huh? I mailed my renewal application in May, and I still haven't heard or received anything. (The check cleared, though). Did you request expedited service?
That was a superfabulous review; one by someone who really read and grokked the book. I love how much of it is quoted or paraphrased, the reveiwer must have really liked your words.
Also, the post bits of "Nilly" made me all weepy, but of course, because we were here! I was telling the SO it was like the little kids' "My Book About Me" for Buffistas.
Did you request expedited service?
No. I can only hypothesize that the fact that my name on the application didn't exactly match my passport flagged it somehow.
They cashed my check on July 20. And I just got an automatic email saying it had been mailed.
Cats are only selectively deaf.

Brian May is not just a rockstar, but he's about to be a phd holding one! [link]
Brian May is completing his doctorate in astrophysics, more than 30 years after he abandoned his studies to form the rock group Queen.
The 60-year-old guitarist and songwriter said he plans to submit his thesis, "Radial Velocities in the Zodiacal Dust Cloud," to supervisors at Imperial College London within the next two weeks.
Wah, I am the only one that doesn't have my copy of The Book yet. Must make a trip to the big city some time this week. I looked when I went last week, but it was release day for HP and the book store people couldn't find it despite showing in the computer that they had 6 copies. grumble
Aw, Annabel has grown so much. What a cutie.
