I don't think you're square, ita.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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."

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal
Oh, like that hasn't been a lifelong pursuit of yours, Hec. But I don't remember the last time I underlined anything, even if I'm not cool.

I am wrestling (like, molasses-wrestling, not fun at all) with style guides today, and y'all are making me weep.
Going home now. APA and MLA can BITE ME.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
APA and MLA can BITE ME
Amen to that shite. APA is the format I have to use on EVERYTHING for the next three years.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Is there any style guide that uses both italics and underlining, for two different things? I can't recall ever learning any.

If you can't do italics - you underline. That's what I learned from back in the day of typewriters.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Right. MLA is just wicked old-fashioned. (Although possibly not any more, as they are revising for a 2008 publication date.)

Re. Harry Potter, I'm not sure what I'm looking forward to more: finding out how it ends or watching fandom reactions to how things end.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
That's right! It'll be interesting to see some fans' heads explode. Like the Harry-Hermione 'shippers who retreated to their own personal bubble after HBP and refused to acknowledge what JKR wrote.
