Fics: To everyone who replied to the last fic I posted (Sam/Dean with the Ruby POV), thank you very much for the lovely comments. I really appreciate them. Several people left very encouraging thoughts, and I hate that I can't reply to the them. I somehow managed to delete the entire entry--fic, comments and all. I also deleted the emailed comments, so... *facepalm* Anyway, I'm not ignoring comments, I'm just behind, and incompetent with LJ! :D
Shows: Entourage!
causeways , I'm watching this show on your recommendation, and I could not be happier! It's not something I'll be fannish about, but it's so well done--I feel like I'm watching a movie, and it's something that my husband will watch with me. I think the Ari character is my favorite so far. :D :D :D I smile every time I think about it! :D
Books: I just finished reading
Revolutionary Road, by Richard Yates. I'll admit that I only discovered it because Kate Winslet was on the cover (yes, I'm shallow). I read it, and wow. It's a commentary on suburban life in the 1950s, but it's told from the POV of a couple who feel like they're above the fray, superior to all those cookie-cutter couples around them. They are spectacularly unhappy as individuals, as well as being dissatisfied with life in general, and they make each other miserable. It was interesting, because I disliked both characters, yet read the book really quickly and enjoyed it. The author's descriptions are so intense--I've never read a book quite like it. The movie is coming out soon--here's
the trailer.
