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."

and Get Fuzzy.
Probably my current favorite. Though it has not elevated to all-time classic status as yet.
Not yet a classic? You may be dead to me.

Hey, I don't put just anybody up there with Krazy Kat and Pogo. They've got to earn it over a few years. My comic strip hall of fame standards are only exceeded by that of the LPGA.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
because it merely intrigued me. It wasn't like when I first opened Kushiel's Dart and got pulled headfirst into the characters' world from the get-go. And really, of all the pleasures in reading, for me nothing beats being caught up in the characters' lives and swept along by their stories.
Whereas one of my problems with Kushiel is that I never all the way believed her. Also I'm drawn into fiction by world building*, and I find the banewreaker world more intriguing than Kushiels. A difference in tastes rather than in judgement.
- I maintain that all storytellers engage in worldbuilding.

I now have Get Fuzzy on my newspaper comics page! (and the creator is pretty.)
And pearls before swine and... I've forgotten a few. Hope I didn't lose Non Sequitur.

So, Amazon supposedly sent me several books via SuperSaver Shipping. Turns out, they think they were delivered on Dec 2nd. I never saw this package of books. Will Amazon send me new ones, or am I super extra bitter and out $25?

Art Crawl!!!
I would absolutely complain.
You know, and see what happens.
So far, I've had good luck with complaining - but I haven't had an entire lost order.
