bullet-point someone

* Right now, I have with me Going Postal and Wicked. [livejournal.com profile] jaybee65, I'll tell you what I think as soon as I can get my hands on it (the Sister says: 'Wow. It's like, a book about the Wicked Witch of West!').

* I have been reading rather a lot of Pratchett lately. This makes me happy.

* I wish RL would stop being so depressing. I don't foresee that happening in the near future, though.

* I do, however, foresee a lot of Pratchett-related babbling in this journal in the near future.

* I amused myself in the bookstore by looking at the tie-in novels from various tv shows. There were a couple on Lost, both featuring OCs. The best one, however, was the sole Buffy novel. The blurb went something like this:

Spike has fallen, so has the Rogue slayer, Faith. Buffy is all alone and Sunnydale is ruled by vampires.

Rupert Giles is Vampire King.


The photo of Giles on the cover, however, was rather fetching.

* There were also Angel comics. With a number of photos of DB in them. *dies*

* Rome continues to rock my socks.

* I saw House. Hugh Laurie is disturbingly hot. I don't generally enjoy medical shows (because of the very annoying patient-doctor interactions. you know, the parts were the patient lectures the doctor and gives him Will to Live etc. there was some of it in this ep as well), but considering how much time I spent today thinking about people I'd ship House with (Wilson. because they are so married. Cuddy. the snark. *and* she's his boss) and laughing over lines like "Oxygen is so important during those pre-pubescent years, don't you think?", I'll probably watch some more of this show.

* I have a new moodtheme, courtesy [livejournal.com profile] a_girl_icons. There isn't enough Edie in it, but I love it all the same.

Um, I think I have the one with Giles as Vampire King.
*facepalm*

Hee!

Um, what is it like? The photo of Giles is *really* fetching, though.

So do I. It's so good crackful. I mean, I reallyreally enjoyed it, mostly for the B/G subtext, though I had some timeline quibbles that frustrated me. Not as awesomely written as some fanfic, but better than much of it.

Ooh, B/G subtext? Good B/G is *so* hard to find in fandom (what I've seen of it).

Not as awesomely written as some fanfic, but better than much of it.

Heh, that's heartening. I have very low opinion of tie-in novels, thanks to some unfortunate experiences with SW tie-ins. *shudders*

Re: the Lost tie-in novels. One is actually a novel written by a passenger who died on the plane. OMG.

And I am all in favour of more Housefans :)

Heh. I'd rather read Boone/Shannon porn, thankyouverymuch.

And House is awesome! (still not sure about the show, but House, the character, really is great)

House is the only reason anyone even watches the show! :)

I also quite like Cuddy. Well, what we saw of her in the Pilot, anyway. *g*

She one of my favourites too. She's pretty much the reason I decided to sneak into the House fandom eventually.

Oh, so she continues to be awesome? Cool. *g*

Indeed, Cuddy's consistent awesomeness makes me happy!

Oooh! Your moodtheme! Squee!

And I can't wait until you get your hands on Wicked! I finally got around to getting Son of a Witch (the sequel), and I'll let you know what I think when I'm done.

Isn't is just? If it wasn't so much work, I'd make one myself - all Edie all the time. *g*

And yes, I'll get to Wicked as soon as I can pry it off the Sister. Of course, I read Going Postal instead (it's Pratchett), so I'm not complaining. *g*

Pratchett babble is always good. Bring it on!

I had a lengthy post coming up on Going Postal and Adora Belle Dearheart, but I got somewhat distracted by Wicked (so good!) - I'll get to it. *g*
