Spike: You pissed in the Big Man's Chair? That's fantastic! Gunn: Spike, can you please turn off that warm fuzzy? Spike: What, the Lorne thing? Worn off. I just think that's bloody fabulous.

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."

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Jesse!

Not only do you rock, but you just won the East Coast tour jersey, if you want it! Verified unprompted store sighting!

E me with the current address. It's this jersey:

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I will confess that I am unlikely to wear shirts that say things on them, as cool as that one is. But thanks!

Also, as Murder Ink is approximately one block from Jo's work, she should go in and talk to a weekday staff person about it, too.

Can somebody stop me from having the "Romance is not all generic drek" conversation again? In another forum?

Just don't tell me where it is, because I can never resist those, and I'm trying to be all productive and shit today.

I hate those conversations, I really really do. I should be used to them by now, but, bleah.

Betsy, feel like trading? I have Internet Publishing's self-proclaimed "I Have the Answer to Everything!" girl in another forum, defining the difference between mysteries and thrillers. According to her definition? Georges Simenon and Ruth Rendell don't write mysteries.

I forwarded her definition to my editor who, unlike said poster, actually knows something about mysteries. My editor said "Nonsense. What she's talking about are classic cozies. Everything you cited (that was Rendell, Simenon, Allingham's Tiger in the Smoke) is a mystery. We've come a long way since Dame Agatha."

Now the annoying one shall act all hurt and hair-swirly. Peeeeyuke.

Dude! From "Publisher's Lunch":

Blogger, geek, and the actor who portrayed Wesley Crusher on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" Wil Wheaton's three books, two of them originally self-published, DANCING BAREFOOT and JUST A GEEK, almost unbearably honest tales of life, love, and the rigors of being an ensign on the Starship Enterprise, and WIL WHEATON'S WEBSITE DESIGN, to O'Reilly & Associates, for publication beginning in spring 2004."

This pleases me a lot, for some reason.
