Stuff to give away, everything must go!

--Buffy comic, virtual season eight, number eight. I was reading it and wondering why it seemed so familiar, and wouldn't you know it? The downside to this largesse is that you get the really upsetting cover that has Faith drowing Buffy. o.O

--Lesbian Pulp Fiction: The Sexually Intrepid World of Lesbian Paperback Novels 1950-1955. violetisblue and I are the worst lesbians in the world. I mean, we totally flunk. When I'm not spending a good portion of my waking hours figuring out how to get two policemanofficers from the West Country to fall in love, Vali is singeing my eyebrows off with Doctor/Master slash.

Speaking of, you really should read Vali's and jonquil's latest story, Velleity. And then join bestenemies. And then give them all your money and toys. ::slobber::

And then when you've picked yourself off the floor read annlarimer's Curse of the Cuddly Monkey and fall right back down again with lols. This story has completely ended me.


Ahh, good times. I had a nice three days off. I even got stuff done that I wanted to do, for a change. I've been exercising a bit more and that's making me feel a little bit better. This is my favorite exercise tape. It's the perfect combination of catchy rhythms and lots of different kinds of jiggly eyecandy being put through their paces by a friendly gay man. With the whole yoga and pilates craze I sometimes feel as if I'm the only one in the world who still likes step aerobics. It's even harder to find step aerobics routines that don't sound like they're set to your little brother's Casio, but I'll manage. It'll be biking season in a couple of months anyway.

Last night we watched the latest remake of Persuasion on PBS. It was lovely, yet there was something missing, namely why on Earth would anyone want to be with Anne Elliot. Sally Hawkins seems like a wonderful actress, but it looked like a pretty thankless job to act stunned at things for 90 solid minutes. Giles, OTOH, looked hot as a 19th century Krillitane. It suits him. Here's hoping Northanger Abbey will be a little bit better. The book was a hoot.

And I'm learning to cook without consulting recipes. It's weird.

I did other stuff too, but now I can't remember what it was. Watching The Five Doctors (my choice) has put me into a pleasant little coma.

Why is it much more interesting to read about lesbian culture than to read the actual books? Oh wait. Because they suck. *sets fire to The Well of Loneliness*

Even my favorites, the Nancy Drew parodies, are only good in very small doses. A little goes a long way.

It's telling that nobody wanted it, so I threw it out to Bookmooch (http://www.bookmooch.com). So far I've yet to reap the benefits of Bookmooch, but someday I just know I will. Maybe.

(They do have 72 copies of The Shipping News, if I was ever really really really hard up for reading something, anything, and every single book in our library was checked out or missing.)

I've read those! Yeah, there's a point about halfway through where you start punching them and shouting, "Be funnier!" Though they're miles better than her Jane Bond books.
