I heard Kelly Link read from her new story collection last night. She read part of a story about a group of teenagers who are really big fans of a TV show called "The Library" which comes on at odd times and features characters who are always played by different actors from episode to episode. It was funny and surreal and wonderful. I picked up the new book, Magic for Beginners, and am really looking forward to reading it, maybe this weekend.
I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

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."

Shit's all sorts of different now.
A shocker, since after finishing OotP by holding my hand to the back of my head, I swore I was done with Potter.
If what happens in this book as I've read what happens in this book, Book 7 or no, I ain't gonna read it.
I'll probably buy it, cause I'm too anal retentive about series books. But I won't like it!

I'm not sure I care...I just got the range of motion back in my shoulder from hefting around the last one in hb.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Kathy, that sounds like fun!
If hordes of actual children weren't involved, I'd so go! (You know, if I lived in Chi.)

They've updated the info on the local bookstore's Harry Potter celebration next Friday.
So. Jealous.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Kathy, wanna meet up and go to some of the events? The staged reading at 7:30 could be fun. I have to work that day, but I should be able to be back in Oak Park by 6 or 6:30.

That's exactly what I thought! I'll give you a call tonight (I've got your tape of Who Am I This Time to give you, as well), if you'll be around.
Did y'all see the pics from the OotP shindig? I loved the pic of Snape. Also, I had forgotten that they had some national news people covering that event (I think some footage ended up on NBC news the next day).
