Had a most uneventful weekend. Did spend a bit of time running to and from my parents' house but besides that I got some good tv viewage in. I caught the new Kim Possible movie on the Disney Channel and, since I am apaprently all of 14 years old, enjoyed it quite a bit. That very night I also watched the last half of G.I. Jane which is not as bad

suprised by the appearance of Nicholas Lea as an almost victim of the killer.

Your friendly, neighborhood Vortex casting plot.

And I do believe that "Young at Heart" is one of my favorite underrated episodes. Anything that features a guy with a salamander hand, you gotta love. Plus, first appearance of the CSM, I think, no?

For the record, I certainly did not get five chapters into a co-written M/S/K road trip turned post-apocalyptic story that had as a key plot point Krycek's quest for a new arm of the salamander variety. It's all lies and obsfucation.

I love the Vortex and I'd be saying that even if it didn't control my every waking thought.

Young at Heart was pretty dang sweet even if the salamander hand was one of the grossest things I've ever seen. Eeeeww, I would hate it if that thing touched me. And that was the CSM in that scene, it had to be. Only he would be maskless and smoking while doctors tried to save a life.

Lies and obfuscation, you say? Uh-huh, suuuuure, I'll buy that. *wink*

[hiyacynth]

Eeeeww, I would hate it if that thing touched me.

Even if Krycek were doing the touching?

Some things are just not.on and salamander hands are one of those things. The squick factor would kill my libido deader then dead and not even the hawtness of Alex Krycek would be able to resucitate it.

That's okay, though, just leaves more lovin' for the rest of ya'll.

it takes me months to finish up most non-fiction (the exception to that rule being Parachute Infantry by David Kenyon Webster).

I hear you there. It's all because Webster was just an awesome writer. Why couldn't he be fascinated by something less dangerous than sharks? Say, cicadas! no one ever died cicada hunting....

Just think what else he could have written!

[liptonrm]

I absolutely agree. Web was such an excellent writer with a great, clear narrative voice and understanding of what does and does not need to be said. He had me up late two nights in a row because I couldn't put his book down, even though I already knew how it ended.

Why sharks? Why did it have to be sharks?! *sigh* If only ...

Wouldn't that be the life, hey, to read and expand your mind and awareness every single day

Sometimes, nothing quite beats just settling down to a new book, especially if one can get really excited about it.

*happy sigh* Books are the most wonderfullest things ever.

books are good...

Just thinking about all the books there are still to be read makes me want to go lock myself in some big university library and never, ever come out.

*big, longing sigh*

[trust_n0_1]

Exactly!
Someone told me that if I hadn't read what I was supposed to read by my mid-20's, then all is lost (unless you're in a literary profession, that is). They were right.

[liptonrm]

Oh what a life that would be.
