Musings. They are sparkly.

Over the past few days, I have come to the conclusion that parents are like the Greeks. Never trust the nice tone. It means that you will be yelled at later. On the other hand, my rooom is now clean, with the exeption of a giant heap of garbage in the middle of it. But at least it is known garbage. And I need a bookshelf, because apprently there is

The nice tone is used when the parents call you while you're out late partying, so that in your drunken stupor you'll think that your parents will be cool with it when you get home. Of course, then you find out that they've replaced your bed with a torture rack and the broom has a number of leather strips attached to it.

[karial]

hmm.... a broom with leather strips sounds like a good idea :)

[goblin_11]

Phah. It would be reduced to anun-attached meshg after Kyr sharpens his claws on it. And then he's ll see the joy of leather and you will require new couches. :D

Note to self: When drunk, check all directions. Do not wind up in Steve's basement instead of own house.
Note to self Number 2: Carry a large and deadly weapon into house. just in case.
Note to self number three: Do NOT forget such weapon at party.
Note to self number whatever: Do NOT forget such weapon in the car either.
Corrolary: Particularly somebody else's car.

Not only did Tolkien have an everyday person in a fantasy land...

[germboy]

He had a fantasy land that this everyday person existed in.

*nod* Tolkien had a lot of awesomeness. I used that as the note for a chief point of departure from the myth genre though. The rest of it- that he lived there, etc. is just details under the umbrella.

I was however under the impression that Beowulf did not take place in the regular world. I might be wrong having never actually read Beowulf.

And I need a bookshelf, because apprently there is no magical portal to the forth dimension of book space. How about one for magazine and paper piles? I could use one of those ... Or random art supplies. I will totally ignore the book you rescued. IT WAS DISCARDED FOR A REASON.

Interview wasn't very romantic, a bit but not quite. Trust me. ;) Don't really bother. It took me three tries and while it wasn't a horrible book it wasn't really worth all the time and effort I put into it.

I read Vampire Lestat and I liked it. I mean, sure I was totally clueless as to lestat's relationship with Nicholas until like, athe first 100 pages in, not to mention the fact that I seriously wished to club a number of characters on the head. But I liked it, altogether.

It is romance novels that I never got around to. Just look at the covers. Meh.

Happy New Year!

[goblin_11]

To you as well! 2005! Huzzah, Huzzah! I mean, its divisible by five and everybody likes that, no?

No, seriously. Happy New Year. I am not going to go into a bunch of wishy things. But Happy New Year.

Mmm, it depends on what you mean by romance novel. If you mean romantic as in the style of writing common during the 19th century, then I'd say "Not really." Howver, if you mean romantic as in poorly written books that utilize piquantly described sex scenes and flimsy historical accuracy to draw the attention of lonely housewives and the assorted others who, as the vernacular goes, "need to get some", then I'd say "Why yes, Anne Rice, does write romance novels, only they're not all that romantic, but they're very smutty and in fact, Anne Rice has written more erotica than you can shake a stick at under various pseudonyms."

[goblin_11]

Hah. No, I do not use it in 19th century type style sense. Meh.

Hah. Good point. Place Rice under smut-without-smut category then. Should have realized this. Although actually it kind of amazes me how many yannoying 12 year old fans there are. I mean, what are they in it for? Maybe they just act 12 online. *shrug*
