My baby sister Margret (see these posts for more about her) is getting married this weekend, so I'm off to Oklahoma to be the matron of honor in her wedding.

I will be online while I'm away, but I want to go ahead and wish all of you who celebrate it a happy Fourth of July. Also, happy early birthday to archaic_angel; may you have a fantastic day and ( Read more... )

Gah, Tripods <3

Congrats to your baby sister! Have fun!

Run away! Run away! :)

Thanks for the congrats for Margret. She's radiant with happiness, so I'm glad for her, even if the fact she's married makes me feel impossibly old. LOL!

Congratulations to your sister! I hope the wedding goes splendidly!

On the subject of dystopian novels, I just finished The Declaration by Gemma Malley and it was pretty good. It's newish YA...

Thanks so much! It was a great success.

Oooh, I appreciate the recommendation for The Declaration. I hadn't heard of it. There's a copy at Bookins, so I'm going to grab it right now! Thanks so much.

PS. I've also added The Declaration to my list (above). Thanks again!

TV remakes are a tricky beast. Doctor Who and Battlestar Galactica show that it can be done, even (or especially) if you change the tone. But then there's tripe like Night Stalker. The only good episode in that one was Timeless, mainly because of Mira Furlan and the allusions to the Night Strangler TV movie. There was also the idiotic decision to cast the anti-charismatic Stuart Townsend as Kolchak. Further evidence of his blandness can be found in League of Unextraordinary Gentlemen and One Woman as well as Queen of the Danged ( ... )

I agree 100% about the trickiness of TV remakes. I will remain skeptical about this - especially since The Prisoner is my favorite series of all time.

"Questionable Merchandise" sounds really chilling. I'm going to have to read it! Thanks for the heads up.

Congratulations, again, to your sister and best wishes! I remember you mentioning her a couple times in class. Exciting!!

Um, I was in your state a few days ago, and I waved at you from the coast. I'm not sure if you were home then or not. :o) But my grandparents, mom, and I had a nice time at the beach!

eldritchhobbit July 8 2008, 23:58:33 UTC

I'm so glad you had a good time at the beach! It sounds like I was away while you were here - hopefully next time I'll be in town, and we can wave hello in person!

Thanks for the kind wishes for my sister. They are most appreciated! :)
