I remember thinking that was a really clever scam. But that's as far as it went. Honest.
I'm a single undead gal trying to make it in the big city. I have to start somewhere and they're evil here. They don't judge. They've got necro-tempered glass. No burning up. A great medical plan, and who needs dental more than us?

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."

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Okay, not so much a brouhaha as a ha. At least I remembered correctly.

I've been working on a song about the difference between analogy and metaphor.
Thank you, David! It was a very pleasant birthday, involving lots of food and ending with obscene puppets.

Micole, you are going to do a writeup about the puppets, right?
(One of the several reasons I have in mind for going to NYC for a weekend at some point this year is to see this play.)
(Yes, I'm shallow. Deal with it.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Avenue Q is totally worth the trip. So. Fucking. Funny.

I started the play writeup this morning, but had to leave for work. Tonight, maybe.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Thank you, David! It was a very pleasant birthday, involving lots of food and ending with obscene puppets.
Excellent! I have a co-write on the song "Punk Rock Puppet" incidentally, which involves the lewd lyric (based on the old Pinnochio joke), "Sit on my face and I'll tell you lies."

I'm currently about halfway through Spirits in the Wires by Charles de Lint, and I'm kind of "eh" about finishing it. I mean, I will finish reading it, but it just isn't holding my attention. I can't shake the feeling that he's telling the same story he's told before, but with a different selection of the Newford characters; it also feels like the entire book was "phoned in".
I'm starting to suspect I prefer his short fiction. The last novel of his I really really liked was Someplace to be Flying, and that's because I adore the Crow Girls.

Wordy McWord, Jilli. That's pretty much how I've felt about all of his stuff since Flying, too. I've stopped reading his new stuff, although I enjoyed rereading Moonheart a few years back.
Was Trader after Flying? I liked that one pretty much.

best part of moving? I just got my library card to our nearby fabulous library. The first book I checked out is "If I Were You," by Joan Aiken. I am enjoying it--anyone here read it?
