And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

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

You should film that and show it every Christmas.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Whitefonted for the sqeamish

When I was 5, my mother told my sister (within my earshot) not to let me put my hand in the blender while my mother was on the phone

I don't think my sister has ever really forgiven me for that one.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

The argument they're making is that if you get money from the government without working for it, you should have to take a drug test.

So ... can we expect drug tests for the CEOs of the oil companies, big banks, etc.?

Don't be silly, that doesn't apply to people who matter.

hip deep in pie

So I am laid up by this stupid knee. It can bear weight but only when straight and it hurts like the devil to straighten it. i can't decide if I should try the doctor...I think she would just tell me to rest it...though I might weasel some better drugs. it's hardly swollen but very sore.

I am posting from my kindle since a flight of stairs seperates me from my computer. b.org works well even in this browser.

If you call the Dr.'s office will they just make you come in, or might they phone in a prescription? Probably not, huh?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yikes, Sue. Can you sit until tomorrow and then see if you think you need the doctor? Can you live without going up/down stairs?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Awww, Sue. Knees are fragile contraptions. And they don't get more robust as we get older, unfortunately.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Oh no, Sue. I think you should call the doctor. But I probably wouldn't.

Has anyone read this article at Tiger Beat? [link]

I am so confused, because this paragraph is compareing and contracting Buffy and Tara? But it doesn't seem to be the Tara who is on Buffy. And she doesn't reference a Tara earlier? Is it just a typo for Kara Thrace (Starbuck?)

Look at Buffy and Tara. The two characters have a lot in common; they’re physically strong, they’re assertive, they’re sassy. They are also both emotionally vulnerable, are sometimes wounded, may scream and cry and pout and stomp. Buffy enjoys a huge following (with a small minority that calls her ‘whiny’) while people pour on the haterade for Tara on a regular basis. She’s too emotional, too screamy, too…much. Buffy’s a strong female character by many people’s lists, but Tara…isn’t. There’s a reason for that

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Yeah, that seems weird, Sophia. Tara was never assertive, nor especially physically strong, and not prone to pouting or stomping.

And I thought Starbuck was a very popular character.
