I love George Plimpton so much! Actually, I had a letter to the editor of Vanity Fair printed after an error in a profile of him a few years ago. And by "I had," I mean I wrote the letter and sent it over my boss's name.
You got all kinds of learnin' and you made me look the fool without tryin', and yet here I am with a gun to your head. That's 'cause I got people with me. People who trust each other, who do for each other, and ain't always lookin' for the advantage.

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."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Allende's Paula is inextricably linked to riding on a bus through the Slovakian hinterlands. Even though it has no resemblance at all to the surroundings I was in.

Does everybody know about the Horror Masters site?
It's a huge archive of public domain horror, pulp and fantasy stories in a very readable .pdf format.
So if, for example, you get the urge to read "The Yellow Wallpaper" or "The Monkey's Paw" or even whole novels like Wm. Beckford's Vathek it's there for you. They've got 2,866 titles. Novels, short stories and poetry. Hawthorne, Machen, ETA Hoffman, Stoker, Shelley, Wilkie Collins... All on the dark side, all free.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Knut just posted this link on Facebook and it cracked me up:
I love it! (I just re-read the book the other week, too.)

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
That's very funny. But I don't get the icons--I'm guessing it's some Facebook thing?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Yeah, those are the icons Facebook uses.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
Oh that's adorable, and I say that as a non-FB fan.
