Every Time I Try To Talk To Someone, It's "Sorry This" And "Forgive Me That" And "I'm Not Worthy."

[robanybody]

So a few weeks ago, I bought Inkspell, the sequel to Inkheart, and I finished reading it yesterday. I would give an in-depth review, but the book has shattered my heart into a million, tiny, sharp-edged pieces, so there goes that plan. I need to get my hands on the last book, Inkdeath, in the hopes that it will mend my poor, wounded heart, but it'

Ahahaha! Dude, if plot was that important, I wouldn't be watching any of the shows I watch. I watch and read for BFFness and awesomeness; if they have a good plot to it, I'm good with that as well. :D

Awwww. Have a good time, though! :-*

[robanybody]

And then there's everything that Jim Butcher ever writes that has plot and BFFness and homoerotic subtext. Then we all win!

There is always next week! ♥

AHHHHH I HEART YOU SO.

This post makes my heart sing! I have a super secret confession. I...kind of prefer Billy and friends' cover of 'Ice Cream Man' to the original. :o Not that I don't love the original, of course, but their cover is just kind of Oh.

PHEW. I needed to get that off my chest.

PRE-POSTED EDIT AFTER SEEING SECRET LINKS: *death*

[robanybody]

I love the original Ice Cream Man, but I've found that people make fantastic covers of the song, especially Billy's Band, so it's totally understandable that you'd love their version more. Also, adorable Russian boys singing Van Halen. What's not to love, really?

Hee hee! It happened exactly like that at work today and I had to post the links here. You don't even know how happy it made me.

[charliehey]

I totally mean the Tom Waits version! Did I send you that one?? I'm distressing now. It's funny to hear that accent on the words 'I got a big stick, mama'. And by 'funny' I mean 'hur hur'.

You know what else is awesome, when there's a Minette post on my friends page. I'm just saying!

[robanybody]

I did not even know that version existed! And ahahaha, yeah, I enjoy that accent for a variety of reasons, one of them being that is reduces me to a filthy-minded, twelve-year-old boy.

<333333333333 Even if it's just Star Trek geekery? Because this isn't going to go away any time soon. I didn't get to express any of this when I was growing up a Trek geek, so it's all going in the journal now.

every single thing about this post just made me gleesome. it's lovely to see your enthusiasm! seriously, I was all happyface because you're happy

(and despite my severe lack of interest in ST, I'm half tempted to pick up that book, just on your description of its awesomeness)

[robanybody]

♥♥♥!! I seem to have rediscovered my inner thirteen-year-old Trek geek and so far, the fandom for it is making me very happy. Thus, this.

(If you ever find it for dirt-cheap, maybe give it a whirl? It's a lot of really wonderful stuff about how the crew loves each other and how Kirk would take a phaser in the chest for each of them, even when he makes them shake in their boots, and Kirk/McCoy/Spock and Sulu/Chekov are pretty much text in this book. Plus, fruit pastries and lizards and Chekov breaking someone's nose! How can anyone resist, really?)

I am now obtaining Death Count by nefarious means, based on your review. Are there other Trek books you would recommend?

[robanybody]

I have sadly not read enough Trek novels in recent years to be able to recommend anything, but oh_mumble also recommended Uhura's Song for more BFF goodness and Chekov being awesome.

[viggorlijah]

Downloading! I just finished Death Count, and Chekov was totally sad for his dead brave ex-academy boyfriend! And Sulu was all manly and oblivious but so sweet with the lizards! I <3 TOS so much right now. Except my mental images keep flipping between New!Chekov and Walter Koenig who I have a serious soft spot for.

I love this book! There used to be a collection of short Star Trek stories (although I can't remember the title of the book now to save my life), and one of the stories was about the crew of the Enterprise and the cast of Star Trek switching places. So the crew wandered about the set being lost and confused while Shatner et al were on the Enterprise freaking out and being excited at the same time. I loved that story to bits because it was the first crackfic I'd ever read and it was professionally published!
