About halfway through A Game of Thrones at this point, and it's really an interesting exercise. I never rewatched the first season of GoT like I'd been meaning to, so I can't really tell if certain little details are new to me because I forgot them or because they never made it into the show in the first place ( Read more... )

Welp, I've finally finished slogging through the rest of Phantom, and I saw Hunger Games today, and I never wrote up my impressions of POTO proper, so I figured I'd go ahead and knock everything out in one post.

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!

Ok, now that that's out of the way -

Went to see Sherlock Holmes tonight. I has thoughts about it, but I will cut them because they will probably be rambly and involve slightly dated remembrances of the novels/short stories and many of them will be shallow.

Here's a spot of random nerdiness: There are many offices along the Infinite, and these offices have doors with names and such on them. One of these doors (for the Office of Whosit, near (in?) Building 8) has four names on it. The first name listed is one P. Rosser. Seeing it never fails to make me grin dopily ( Read more... )

ARRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH, I FUCKING HATE DP. WHAT THE HELL WAS WRONG WITH NP, HUH? I MEAN, HALF THE TIME D IS FUCKING NULL ANYWAY, SO YOU END UP WITH THE SAME FUCKING NP THAT YOU WOULD HAVE HAD WITHOUT ALL OF THIS FUCKERY ( Read more... )

Thanksgiving has come and gone. I spent most of the week sleeping off a rather nasty cold. When I wasn't asleep, I was cooking or eating or playing a board game. Or watching Project Runway. That happened for quite a few hours. But yeah, that's all over now. Lovely to see mom and the puppies, of course (Clober got so big!), but I have to get back to ( Read more... )

I've pretty much accepted the fact that I will be dropping macro. Kinda disappointed in myself, to be honest, but the professor sucks as a lecturer, and it'll be nice not having class till 11. More time to do the work I need to do, eh ( Read more... )

I have less than 100 pages remaining in the last ever Jeeves book that I'll read for the first time. My melancholy: let me show you it. I'm being ridiculous, I know, but I don't think I've actually cared so much about a series since H2G2 (way back when) or Narnia (...even wayer back when) and I don't know, I just hate that some things have to end.

MMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Whenever I finish a Wodehouse book, I'm left with the most supreme feeling of pure happiness in the world. Can't really say why. They're funny as hell, of course, but this is just a soul-encompassing, delightfully aching joy that I haven't managed to find anywhere else. Thank god he wrote so much - I don't know ( Read more... )

Ugh, McCain's speech. I tried to watch Palin's, I really did, but she didn't say anything besides "lolol my family lolol the democrats suck lolol OIL PIPELINES" and I just gave up ( Read more... )
