all out of…

YAY the Phoenix landed safely!

…that was totally not what I was going to write about, but more or less the first thing I do in the mornings is check out the APotD, and YAY the Phoenix landed safely! *beams*

Right. Where was I.

Last night I was observing to Deborah that I was all out of give-a-shit. She observed in return that actually, what was

1. I like your voice very much.

2. A broad-spectrum answer, perhaps, but so far as books go I tend to associate you with Terry Pratchett. This will come, I think, as no surprise. :)

3. We should go to--blast it, I've forgotten specifically where it is, but bellinghwoman told me about it; a springtime festival in Switzerland(?) that you two go to annually in which everybody in town gets up before breakfast on the first day to see the start of the party. I'd love to go to that with you sometime

[bellinghman]

Ah, I'm chuffed

[mizkit]

Y'know, I could (and did) intellectually step back and say "ok, part of it is the accent," which is, yes, utterly delicious, but apart from the accent itself, you've also got a very nice voice. :)

*laughs* We thought it was very nice of you to sit down and be nice to the two newbie Americans, is what we thought. :) And I must say, I don't think of you as a shy person at all!

Hm. I think one of the things I tend to like about your reviews is they're generally bite-sized. I rarely read long reviews, so the ones you do are just about right for me. But fair 'nuff. I was curious, though! :)

Yes! That festival! It sounds terrific.

Raising hand.

1. I love your passion for your work. I wanted to stand up and cheer after your speech at the closing ceremonies of P-Con

4. I can't do charging on a horse... I can do trotting 8) or at least I could when I was younger. Having got over some of my speed issues by being a willing pillion on a motorbike I reckon I might actually survive a faster speed on a horse. Then again I didn't have glasses when I rode a horse so it may have been a sight issue.

5. *grins*

6. Nice one, haven't seen that one before, I think Irish education is determined to expose us to all the uncool stuff.

7. Yup. Need to now apply seat to chair and hands to keyboard and stop surfing for a few hours per day. That or just break out paper and ignore the laptop for a while.

TQB not available in cork!
What is this madness?

also.
*waves hand*

[mizkit]

It is madness! MADNESS, I tell you! MADNESS! :) You're back in Cork then?

1. I like how tall you are! I like tall women. :)

2. "Don't Cry For Me Argentina" comes to mind, largely because of your South American adventures last year. :)

3. Have coffee soon!

4. Goat's milk ice cream? *Really*?

5. Well, I met you online first, but my first *real* memory of you is having lunch with you in Dublin! Made me feel not quite so alone in the Irish wilderness, as it were. :)

6. "For the great Gaels of Ireland / Are the men that God made mad, / For all their wars are merry, / And all their songs are sad."

7. Have you decided what you'll be when you grow up?

[madmiss]

:) Well, by Cork you mean the confines of home until I can afford to venture out, then yes. ;)

I will say, 'You betya' to the coffee. Whenever your free.

Love the quote, made me think of Leonard Cohen, I love his music and people keep asking me "why? His songs are so depressing!"

And no... I've been through 3 different options this week: Fireman, New age/ curiosity store owner and the one I'm liking: being a purveyor of books, Dylan Moran style.

Shamelessly, I join in.

1. I'm terribly fond of your cat-like insouciant demands for attention. *fetches you berries at once*

2) "The Lady Vanishes", Fairport Convention

3. Jeez. *Anything*. It hasn't been *quite* a decade since we saw each other last...

4. I believe my default on this is "Potato bins!" However, in order to not be predictable, I think I'll also say "You can have this heart to break."

5. ...man, my first memories are waaaaay too old at this point to be clear. :) Also, they're technically of someone who isn't you, since they tend to revolve around Meredith. However, I'd say it's safe to say my first lasting impression of you is as someone who is quite clearly capable of ruthlessly taking over the world.

6. "The secret of all victory lies in the organization of the non-obvious."

7) What *is* it with the berries, anyway?

[debela]

And you used the Rynna icon, which was very sweet

I raise my hand for terribly generic results!
