Okay, not so much a brouhaha as a ha. At least I remembered correctly.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

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."

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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."

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
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?

Always Anti-fascist!
Anybody else read "Girls' Poker Night"? More to the point, anybody read it and think "Dude, my last two weeks of livejournal are as good as this." Cause they are. Not that I don't like it. I do...just not a lot. The Bitches tell better stories...this is just random encounters and reminiscing, no cohesion. Like Ann Beattie, except for that microsecond in the 70s when she was cool. Are most women so tragically not funny that women writers who write chuckles make critics wet their pants? In the words of Charles Gunn, "Nuh and uh."
