Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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."

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

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.)

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

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).

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

So, for how long after Harry Potter is out should we whitefont? Like, a day or 2?

Kidding!!!

It's a big-ass book -- a month, maybe?

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

Let us never speak of it again.
