Or, Things I Wish Someone Had Given Me When I Was Eleven (And A Few Things I'm Glad I Found For Myself)

This is something I've been thinking about doing for a couple of months now (approximately since I read a couple of the books listed below for the first time, absolutely loved them, and went "... why was this not around when I was younger?" ( Read more... )

( 3. THIS QUESTION IS KIND OF A CHEAT: Bill Adama - worse father, or worse CO? )

I was comprehensively spoiled, and I shrieked. For most of the episode. Oh GOD THEM.

Also, considering the amount of bitching-about-writing I've been doing lately, I think it might be polite to ask: would there be any interest in me setting up a writing filter, so as not to clutter up the reading pages of people who don't care for the daily ( Read more... )

You know what's lovely? Finding out, right after you've been bitching about not being able to find the sequels to the extremely odd, very entertaining, and completely fangirl-candyish book you've been reading, that the first four books in the series are available for free .pdf download.

It's quite impossible to come up with a summary of Bold as ( Read more... )

Guys.

GUYS.

The new* Felix Castor** book is SO GOOD. So far. In a really "oh shit, we're for it now" kind of way.

Wire in the Blood on Hulu.

Here It Goes Again, Green Wing, ensemble. Absolutely the happiest-making thing I've seen in quite some time. No, you don't need to know the context for any of this footage*; it's pretty much... just like that, really. Go. Watch. Boogie down.
