I thought that she couldn't blow me more away than in The Telling and Left Hand of Darkness, I was wrong.

The Dispossessed?
Awesome, just awesome.
Here's the beginning:

There was a wall. It did not look important. It was built of uncut rocks roughly mortared. An adult could look right over it, and even a child could climb it. Where it crossed ( Read more... )

Yesterday I learned about http://simple.wikipedia.com and then I find you writing this... hmmm... :P

On other interesting musings on how *the whole world* is made up of nothing but language, see "The End of Mr. Y" by Scarlett Thomas.

*Puts Ursula K. Le Guin on the "to read" he finally started after having just one book too many recommended to him*

Random little fact: You can find complete Bones episodes on www.surfthechannel.com ^_^

A friend gave me that link today and I've been watching episodes online for the past hours, lol.

It's pretty good.

You just want me to waste spend my time watching Bones over and over again instead of writing fic, hmm? I CAN SEE HOW YOU WANT TO BEND ME TO YOUR EVIL WAYS, DON'T LIE TO ME.

Now, I'm torn between going over there RIGHT NOW, or waiting for my DVD box set and then watch season four over there, or forgetting that DELICIOUS TIBIT OF INFORMATION you just told me, and start on the 35'000 words fanfic I might or might not be doing.

I know! I'll go have lunch.

Ahaha xD sorry. Yep, my evil ways. You saw through them, completely.

Lunch pwns all the other options *nod*

I just realized I could probably watch the whole TEN seasons of Stargate SG1 on there. That's over 200 episodes. This is a bad thing to realize at midnight when I'm about to go to bed.
