1. Okay, so, from tomorrow to the day after I'm on a leave of absence because I'm taking a flash trip with _izu_ and marlonob to see Duff McKagan + Loaded in concert somewhere near Modena, and I just hope no one posts everything important I might miss

Nah, not a lot really. ;) Okay, icons!









About my unpopular DT opinions (for anyone who might be reading, BIG SPOILERS FOR THE ENDING...)

1) I dunno how much of an unpopular opinion it is, but I hated the last half of the last book with a vengeance and the epilogue was the part I hated most. The whole loop thing was just the obvious way to end it and it was also cruel IMHO, while the epilogue was a) cheesy, b) a cheat, c) the best way to cheapen Eddie and Jake's deaths which I'd have been way, way more fine with if they had just stayed that way and d) the worst, worst possible cheapening of Susannah's character he could have ever done. I liked Susannah a lot up until the end, but the bare fact that she left, what she did in the epilogue and the bare fact that she got together with not-Eddie when the real one had said he was going to wait for her in the afterlife was enough to make me want to scream. (By they way: yes, I'm way more attached to Eddie than it'd be sanely reasonable.)

2) I love Detta Walker. For how much I can like Susannah, she totally was the best of all Susannah's personalities including her saner one and Mia. Detta was such a riot, I ♥ her. Not to mention that she had guts, she also slashed like woah and she pwned at maths. In Song Of Susannah she was my hero.

3) I probably am the only person in the world who doesn't think that Mordred was totally ludicrous part of the plot, at least until that ridiculous final scene. I thought that the idea was good and that there was the potential and that if he had just done some slight more work on the spider/guy (and actually if he had NOT forgotten to mention him for four hundred pages or something) he wasn't THAT bad of a character. Then there was that fight in the end which was anticlimatic and completely pointless, not to mention that anyone able to kill Flagg should have been so easy to put down.

3b. I didn't hate Flagg getting offed as soon as it happened; I DEEPLY regretted his loss after said ridiculous Mordred resolution of the plotline up there.

[PS: I actually LOVE everything in the books up to the last half of the seventh. I'm actually not that bitchy, usually. ;)]

2) LOST:

Best & Worst Roommate: Boone for best (hey, I'd totally humor him and pay attention and try to get him into my bed asap *cough* and we'd have awesome times together and WE'D GO TO MARCHES TOGETHER!!!), with Charlie as a second runner because I love bassists like woah and we'd hit off. Ben for worse because he'd totally try to mindfuck me over everything and I don't even like ham.
Best & Worst Neighbour: Best... Frank! We'd have awesome times together, and beer. Worst, probably Jack in his Nirvana!Jack phase, but then I'd probably go there and give him a hug or something. I ♥ Nirvana!Jack, lol.
Best & Worst Houseguest: best, Sayid because you know he'd totally be the perfect guest and he could cook and fix your shower if it broke. Worst, probably Kate. She'd run away in the middle of the night and bring kids and sincerely I don't like her enough and I don't like kids. ;)
Who would I get to help me garden? er, probably Desmond. Just for kicks.
Who would I get to help me decorate? er, uh, Shannon! Decorating looks like her thing, lol.
Who would I get to help me with any repairs/renovations? Sayid, of course! He's everyone's handyman after all.
Who would I get to help me move? Mr. Eko. He's tall and strong, he'd move all the furniture in a heartbeat. ;)
Who would I trust to sell me the property? er, probably Locke pre-crash.
Who would I invite over for my first dinner? Hurley, he'd be the only one to appreciate my cooking.

I liked the loop ending but I didn't really like the cheesey under the beam meet up "Look we have a dog! Just like Oy!" and I hated how she left! I just don't think the Susannah in the other books would have. I think my unpopular thing is I can't stand Roland's Susan. She's just there for sexing! I don't see her appeal at all, I ended up liking the aunt more.

OMG, Roommate Ben would be hilarious! You'd so end up doing the lions share of cleaning and rent paying. Then he'd kill your bunny and stab you in the throat.

I think I was too invested in Roland to like the loop ending. IDK, it just seemed unnecessary cruel to send him back there every time, and he wasn't even my favorite character but it just hit me in every single possible wrong way. And yeaaaah, THAT cheesy under-the-beam-meet-up was hideous. Blah. Susannah from the rest of the books wouldn't have done it, I agree. And LOL, well, I like Susan but for all I'm concerned Roland belongs with Eddie. ;) ;) ;)

Yeah, roommate Ben would do THAT exactly. Which is why I'll take Boone. ;)
