Sep. 23rd, 2005 06:57 pmComputer go boom. Again. If I'm not around much (at all), that's why. This is *third* crash in the past few months - I think it's time for a system upgrade. They'll take the computer away tomorrow. I suppose it would be too melodramatic if I clung to the machine screaming "You can't do this to me!", wouldn't it? *sigh*

My sister has become something of a Spike fan. You know, the kind of Spike fan who didn't like him in S2, but loved him S4 onwards. Our Buffy watching sessions are full of "Aww, poor Spike!", "He's so *sweet*". And today she saw 'Fool for Love' for the first time - I'm sure you can imagine the rest. I'm not sure I want to watch S6 with her.

Finished Carpe Jugulum, and now I need to think more on the position of vampires in Pratchett's world. What makes them so different? How is their position different from the werewolves, and all the other creatures? How does it all add up to the place of the 'other' in society, keeping Soul Music and Feet of Clay (and any of the other books which also brings up this issue; I haven't read them all) in mind?
The religious theme was actually handled better here than in Small Gods, which I found somewhat disappointing.
Right now, I'm a few pages into Monstrous Regiments (not reading them in order, sorry *g*) - will this be thematically similar to Feet of Clay? We'll see.
EEEEEE Vimes! *squee*
