Giles ,'Lies My Parents Told Me'
[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.
Oh good. I was hoping for adjacent light or something backlit. Yes, my flight coping skills nearly all center around being able to read. We're Buffistas, it's what we do.
And I love that we all read under the covers or secreted books with us when we had to go places. Family tales tell of me being found happily paging through tabloids behind a couch. The reading material might have been crap, but I had something to read. Should have let me bring a book to grandma's.
My grandma had Peanuts and New Yorker cartoon collections, which were kept on a low shelf for the delectation of grandchildren.
Not being able to bring a book?!?!? Child abuse.
We're watching an opera concert - he's in love with Anna Netrebko. Next up, trip to cemetery to visit Grandma's grave and see her headstone, then a late lunch at the Crystal Beer Parlor. And then I get to run away for a bit and visit with the sane cousin on this side of the fam.
Ooh, Scrappy, so did mine! At least the New Yorker cartoon collection; our parents had Peanuts covered. The grandparents also had the giant book of Life photographs, most of which are etched in my brain forever (everything from John-John saluting to the Japanese woman tenderly bathing her radiation-crippled daughter to Marilyn Monroe as Theda Bara).
Do y'all know a good site to introduce a movie-loving internet newb to? Because I know this guy who's sort of isolated, and even if we do meet for coffee, I don't want to be all his friends. (It's not healthy and I'm already feeling some outside pressure about it.)

Most movie blogs are kind of specialized (horror, Hong Kong action etc.)
So maybe something like AVClub? Their inventories and primers are good and interesting.
Yeah, I don't know him well enough to know if he has a movie genre *passion* or not, so that sounds like a good call, Hec.
I was frequently forbidden from bringing books to family gatherings. My mother (the extrovert) was under the impression that without a book i'd actually talk to all the relatives instead of sitting in the corner reading. Boy was she wrong, I just had to find less interesting things to read at the destination.
Erin, I just tried to like your post.
I am known in my family for my love of reading in the tub. When I was a kid, I'd refill at least once. Bubble bath + book = heaven.
