Not much to report, other than tomorrow is the last day of exams, and some of my babies are leaving me. *pouts* Speaking of babies, miladygrey is an aunt, yay! Of course, a blue blankie is in progress. (You didn't think I could resist, did you?)

I got The Reading Room from Netflix because it sounded like a nice little library-type story, if possibly a bit sappy. You can only go so wrong with James Earl Jones, right ( Read more... )

*facepalm* Just when you thought the fubar with The Dark is Rising couldn't get any worse... They're working with FanLib. So I guess their target demographic is 14 year old semi-literate girls who would never read a high fantasy novel or a TOS.

None of these work when I try to pay my cable bill online - none of the myriad possible variations, number combinations, nothing. And ( Read more... )

Last week, due to extreme busy-ness, I had to tape Bones and just now got to watch it. And now I want to write a Neverwhere crossover, but really shouldn't. Somebody stop me?

And now a quick poll: Should I read V For Vendetta before seeing the movie? It is actually showing here but there's no telling for how long. The nearest good-sized bookstore ( Read more... )

Just like Netflix promised, I arrived home to find Anthony Hopkins waiting for me, holding a neat stack of clean, second-hand copies of hard-to-find but reasonably priced literature. Though I suspect his eager "hope you like them" expression was really just to keep from shooting shy smiles at Anne Bancroft.

*ahem* So, I just watched 84 Charing ( Read more... )

Yes, I have at long last seen "Narnia". And now I am a squeeing, happy, sniffly mess. If you're still spoiler-shy, pass the kleenex rather than peeking under the cut.
