Giles: I jump out of the circle, jump back in, and, and, shake my gourd. Buffy: Hey, I think I know this ritual. The ancient shamans were next called upon to do the Hokey-Pokey and to turn themselves around.

'Dirty Girls'


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."

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Steph, did you read all about the awesome rooms here?

Wow. That's within easy driving distance for me...

Deb, who's not? Jealous of Dan Brown...except of course the can't-write-for-shit part.(I read one of his recently and reviewed it for Amazon saying that in future, I would avoid his work like it contained anthrax. I can be such a bitch. I signed my name proudly too. It seemed like What Deb G. Would Do.)

The status is NOT quo.

Yes it is, DX! I'm not suprised you've never heard of it, actually, because it is indpendent and doesn't advertize much. It's such a great find; I really recommend it.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Man oh man, do I love my internet wife...

It's only true...I gave up on "Angels and Demons" at mid-point. Somebody with as many Bayliss tendencies as I have never does that. Ever. Because even if it sucks...I have to know Just How Much. Right?(And if it picked up, and I missed it? How stupid would I be? And that means of course that "Infinite Jest" will be the fifth...or sixth, I've lost count, party in our marriage.) Not with that one. Mom paid a quarter. She should get her money back.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

"Fuck. Long flight. Forgot book."

I'm a double nerd, because not only do I make a packing list when taking a flight anywhere, "BOOKS!!" is the first thing on the list.

Mine too. But I've not flown for a while...the last in-flight book was "A Secret History"(Liked it muchly. Was not All That.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The last trip I took was five days, and I think I brought six books. And magazines.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I hate carrying books. So I need to finish my outgoing book before I get on the flight back. And leave it there, wherever there is. And buy another one for the way back. And read borrowed books while I'm there.
