Oh man, I wanna see Star Trek

[meresy]

- I remember when I first saw the theatre preview for Star Trek, which I'd only been vaguely aware of before hand, and saying (out loud, to Nos), "Man, I'm gonna watch the HELL outta that." And now all the squee on my flist and on Facebook is only making me want to even more. Except I don't have anyone to go with, and I don't like going to the

I've read almost all the way through the Aubrey and Maturin series, and yes, they are wonderful. For some reason, I never read the last three, even though I have them all. And by a happy coincidence, I started rereading Master and Commander yesterday, and am greatly enjoying it. I'd forgotten how much humour there is - often dry but always affectionate towards Jack and Stephen.

I contemplated watching the film this evening but decided to go for Pirates of the Caribbean instead as being less demanding and therefore better suited to my current state of steamrollered-ness. But I think I've changed my mind!

So many hearts! You must finish them. I'll probably be done fairly soon, at the rate I'm consuming them (I have them on my iPod, for commute-reading. \o/)

And the books contain hilarity if you know where to look. And then there is some angst and some plot and sometimes I sort of forget I'm not reading a particularly good, long slashfic. *g*

And the movie isn't very heavy going at all! Not with Paul Bettany giving everybody bitchface the whole time. *hearts*

I am reading a particularly good, long slashfic and sometimes I forget it's not canon. :-)

Oh, which?

And that has happened to me too. I read some fic, and then go back to the book and start wondering why they're not addressing some important plot point and... oh, wait, that was a fic.

:D

Prizes over Discovery by Keiko, which mlyn recced me (well, she recced all of Keiko's works) and can be found here. I read the shorter stories before starting in on this long multi-chapter one, and so far I have to say my favorites are More Certain in Affection and The Glass Portrait (which is simply lovely).

I have read all of those, indeed, and bookmarked them a couple days ago. \o/ They're lovely.
