risti might come to visit in November!

*dances*

And we might go see Wicked in Houston!

*dances more*

And then she pasted some scary excerpts from Wicked the book, and it burninated my eyeballs into pools of melted flesh.

The end.

Oooh, Wicked is brilliant! *dances with you* And has little in common plotwise with the book, which is also incredibly brilliant, though I'm not sure what you were burninated with.

[lydaclunas]

Wait, you thought the book was brilliant? The pieces that were quoted to me read like, as risti put it, pretentious badfic.

I loved it, yes, as did the rest of family. Not qualified to be an arbiter of literary taste, of course (who is?), but I thought it was full of Ideas and very well done.

I think the (IMHO awful) language is what got me most. When she c&ped the bit about Turtle Heart taking off his cap and hunks of greasy red hair falling out, I nearly died. And his "raspberry-honey-colored chin". Oh, and the Elphaba post-sex scene with purple pubic hair and the scar from where her hermaphroditic penis had been rubbed off with a towel as a newborn. O_O

Anyone reading this comment is going to be very, very perplexed.

Well, that's pretty selective, I think. There are some startlingly beautiful passages in there as well, but YMMV.
