Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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."

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

Groening's "Life in Hell"?(she probably has them, actually)

Ooh, good idea. Now to see if I can find them anywhere to buy.

Thanks so much! I settled on Black Hole and a few other bits I've heard her mention she doesn't have. Here's hoping they arrive before her birthday.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Apparently, LKH has signed a deal to write a script for "Guilty Pleasures."

No more info than that is available, I'm afraid. Interesting. Possibility for awfulness...or maybe (maybe?!) a guilty pleasure? I dunno.

Casting? Who would you cast for what?

If I only had a brain...

Adrian Paul as Jean-Claude. They can't afford him, but Liam Neeson as early Richard.

And Mary Sue as Anita.

Richard ain't in GP.

Who's Adrian Paul?

Mary Sue...her ouevre is wide and varied. Would she have time?

EDIT: Oh, Highlander guy! I gotcha. Do you think he'd be able to play femme-sexy-masculine?

That's a mercy. Passive-aggressive bastard.

And...there's my answer!

I'm dabbling through ita's Provocateuse site.

Maybe Christian Bale? Must keep looking at wet hot men.

I am stumped as to Anita. She's like 23 in this book, right?
