Permanent Residency and Hunger Games

[lurkerfromoz]

So, we are back from NZ with our nice, shiny permanent residency visas.  Next stop citizenship!  I'm a bit worried about this; not about the test, because I like tests, but about the ceremony itself.  Here in Australia, you are not a citizen until you have had the ceremony with the local dignitary and been given the token gum tree/jar of vegemite/

I liked Demon Lexicon too. Some people found it hard to get into apparently because Nick has such an unsympathetic affect. Which is a bit worrying because I could relate quite easily to his bogglement about people. ;-)

Nick is my favourite character - I thought Alan was a bit of a self-righteous arse - and I found him easy to relate to too. I actually didn't like the ending that much, and if it wasn't the first part of a trilogy I would have outright hated it. I thought that SRB actually did a great job of making Nick sympathetic - I could see that he cared about Alan and couldn't really understand why nobody else could see it.

Watched Demons last night (probably on UK tv ages ago) and the guy that plays Luke Van Helsing (Christian Cooke) is my Nick - he's exactly how I pictured him in my head.
