I usually print out some sudoku pages from the internet and do that during plane waiting times.
sometimes I'll have bought a magazine, but I read magazines so quickly anymore that I'm twiddling my thumbs after!
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
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."

Woe to the fucking wicked.

The status is NOT quo.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
