two updates, i know!
i was voting in the hposcars (vote here) and, ok, i've read approximately 0% of the fic nominated, which might have something to do with the fact that i was only sporadically fannish last year, but still, how does that happen? but i voted for all the art, cos i could easily judge that, and omg. oh. my. god. people. Letter to a dead man by nassima is just. ::flails:: it's a three part comic and i cried a little bit for each part. oh oh oh. like i explained to aj saturday night during a discussion of rent: i can deal with people dying, but i absolutely, 100% of the time lose it if other people talk about people who have died.

book meme! The Museum, Libraries and Arts Council's list of 30 Books Every Adult Should Have Read. Bold the ones you have read. Italicize the ones you would like to read. Strike out the ones you never plan to read, or started but couldn't finish:
(i left the ones i had never heard of alone.)
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee - one of my favorites. currently rereading it, actually.
The Bible - i've read a few parts, but really, not that interested.
The Lord of the Rings Trilogy by JRR Tolkien - i'm proud of myself for actually having read this whole thing, considering what my attention span is.
1984 by George Orwell - i am technically halfway through this, but then i got bored. but i do intend to finish it!
A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens - i read about half. i loathe dickens. watching the play is much more entertaining.
Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte - never again, man. not even to, i don't know, co-write a rock opera. *G*
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
All Quite on the Western Front by E M Remarque - i watched part of the movie once though. does that count?
His Dark Materials Trilogy by Phillip Pullman - lovelovelove.
Birdsong by Sebastian Faulks
The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck - i loathe steinbeck too.

Tess of the D'urbevilles by Thomas Hardy
Winnie the Pooh by AA Milne
Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

kiefer was looking good, mmhmm. uh. i totally laughed when edgar died. is that wrong? it was his own fault for being a dumbass, *and* he's not a very good actor. also? how does ctu not like, have gas masks somewhere convenient? for serious. i mean, some of the offices can be sealed up tight, but...they don't keep a box of gas masks lying around? also, how much does it suck to be carrie? bet she wishes she had stayed fired.
