During the cruise, I finished Kazuo Ishiguro's The Buried Giant.

No rant against ugly elves?

Did you tell your car bros about your car fixing adventure?

I realized there were other rants that I didn't remember or have time for.

And not yet due to computer issues. By the time I had extra time, it was fairly late. So maybe tomorrow?

I'm still using the old editor. Old school naming of cuts.

I was fairly disappointed of the show as well, by now I think I'll miss the entertainment when this season is over tomorrow.

Galadriel and her story is getting on my nerves very much. Don't get me started. I like the dwarf-storyline best, about the rest I didn't always pay attention and thus did not follow what's going on exactly. There are so many details that are just ridiculous. The grubbby Southlanders of which only the main character has always washed hair? Galadriel's whispy hair not even moving while she stands and watches the wall of fire rolling near? The horse rising on its hind legs while the men beside it watch the volcano erupting, not even flinching at the horse going mad right beside them? It's those little things that make it impossible to take anything seriously. I could excuse Galadriel's superpowers with being an elf and her recklessness with being young. But that Giant story? With every scene painfully drawn out to make it clear he is sorry, he is lonely, ( ... )

Can you host and post photos with the old editor?

And I like you details which are completely different, but I agree with (at least the ones that I got to).

I'm using LJ scrapbook and posting from there. What's new is that you can comment directly on photos, I guess.

I'm still using the old editor. I haven't figured out how to rename cuts in the new one, but it's not like I've spent a lot of time trying to figure it out lol

I only use the new editor to upload photos. Do you know if this can be done with the old editor (and then I'd switch back) =)

Curious to hear what you think of Lucifer's Hammer. I liked the story and the science but it was a strangely constructed novel.

So far (right around impact), it's an interesting novel. The writing isn't bad, but it's lots of setup and split stories. I'm interested to see how they come together, if at all.
