What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good  

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

Ann, that's a ferret.

Well, I knew that -- I mean, I just want to see how it plays out.

I just couldn't resist the opportunity. I mean, I don't get a chance to use that quote every day.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

From the article:

"Many people have asked me, Do you think they will finish the series before Christ comes?"

Ladies and gentlemen, I think we have met the ultimate spoiler-phobes.

Art Crawl!!!

I just read Donna Andrew's We'll Alway have Parrots and have a question based on one of the plot points for anyone else who has read it:

At fan conventions do they really sell fan fic? Because that strikes me as really un-necessary!

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers

Sumi, in the olden days before the net (wink), people put together zines of fanfic and sold them to cover the production costs.

IIRC, Suela has a collection of old Star Trek fanzines? I'm sure she knows more about the topic...

ETA whitefont since Sumi was worried about possible spoilage.

Those days are behind me.

You left those days behind...so to speak?

More book news:

In 1981, long before her husband was elected vice president, Lynne Cheney wrote "Sisters," a steamy bodice-ripper set in the 19th-century American West, featuring vivid tales of whorehouses, attempted rapes, a suspicious murder and several lesbian love affairs, of which Cheney writes approvingly. The paperback, published in Canada, has been out of print for nearly two decades. But on April 6 the book is scheduled to be released for the first time in the United States.

Blame Canada!

I'm getting the pig!

I spent the majority of the weekend reading Good In Bed by Jennifer Weiner, loaned to me by a co-worker. Totally not what I was expecting and although I wasn't hooked until well into the middle of the book, I am pleased that I stuck it out through the end.

Has anyone read her second novel, In Her Shoes ?


Megan E. - Mar 29, 2004 7:29:54 am PST #1936 of 10002

I did Nicole. I didn't like it as much as the first one but it was still a worth while read. From what I remember it's a bit more superficial and the moral hits you over the head.

Thanks Megan! That's about the gist of what co-worker said too.
