Just finished The Passage.
It's a post-apocalyptic book.
It seems to be the first in a series.
It's very well written.
And I really, really, really hate Justin Cronin for that ending. :(

If I wanted to watch Nikita, I would look up when it aired and watch it at that time.

When I tune in to watch the new episode of Supernatural, that I've been eagerly waiting for weeks for, I really don't want to watch Nikita instead.

Knock it off!

P.S. If I had any interest in Nikita, I would have watched the movie, or the other ( Read more... )

Just watched the first episode of the the new Sherlock on Masterpiece Mystery*.

I enjoyed it, but I'm pretty sure I shouldn't be repeatedly telling the TV Holmes who the killer is, long before he actually figured it out.

Hope they pick a less obvious killer in the next episode.

Even if some school is using it in a class, The Tough Guide to Fantasyland isn't actually a textbook.

Knock it off already!!!!

If you fail to resist this urge, please remember the following points that pretty much everyone in your audience already knows:

1. Witnesses aren't in the courtroom before they testify. I know it's dramatic, but it doesn't happen.*

Currently I am trying to place an order on B&N's website.
For some reason it thinks that I REALLY want two copies of one of the books, and all efforts to change the quantity, really means "add other items in cart randomly to my wish list."
At least it let me delete the book.

Yesterday, as I stopped for groceries, I found a huge* spider crawling on me.

Eventually, I decided that (despite being a freaky, hairy, monstrosity) it didn't deserve to die for that.

So, I transfered it to a tissue, evicted from the car, grabbed my purse, and got ( Read more... )
