At least you didn't buy them and contribute to the problem. I bought Left Behind off of eBay specifically to avoid adding to sales figures.
Though come to think of it I never did get around to reading that. Oh well, plenty of time after the Rapture.
You know, my big sister could really beat the crap out of her. I mean, really really.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Will there be more plot and less swoony-swoon in this one?
Not really.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Doesn't she eventually have a baby and become a vampire? I guess it eventually gets less swoony then. But it's a long time coming.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Doesn't she eventually...
I'm not sure about the second thing but I believe the first thing happens in the last book.

Yes. But even with those plot developments, it's still overwhelmingly swoony.
(Note to self: watch Near Dark tonight.)

So we're been watching da Bears '85 season on Netflix. (boy do today's running backs look slow and awkward compared to Willie and Walter) I haven't worked up the courage to rewatch "The Superbowl Shuffle" but I did read the Wikipedia article. It claims the song shot up the Billboard charts and stopped dead at #41. Some speculate that the numbers may have been manipulated so Casey Kasem wouldn't have to play the song nationally on top 40 radio. Scandalous!

Note the spit cloth thrown over my shoulder. So fashionable!
What a lovely picture. Awww.
I just recently found an old cloth left over from the boys. It was embroidered Spit Happens.

Sparky, can you fix the Wikipedia article?
I got out of the Wikipedia business years ago after watching information I'd corrected be changed back to the wrong information. It's right up there with reading the comments on Salon for me.
What a lovely picture.
Thank-you to everyone!

Luckily I haven't been burnt that way. But mostly I end up making grammatical corrections, because I don't tend to read articles on things I already know.

Though come to think of it I never did get around to reading that. Oh well, plenty of time after the Rapture.I read the first one. I kept screaming at the book PLAGIARISM! for it reminded me of Stephen King The Stand, but with religion thrown in. It wasn't good enough for the second book of the series. Oh, and nobody warned me it was a Rapture book.
