SHOOOOOOOW. And SHOOOOOOOOWS.

I know, okay? I know, but I have basically negative control over where my attention focuses right now, and so you get a list of things being planned and a lot of flailing about NYC-22. And maybe replies to comments, if the caffeine holds for another hour.

( First, the planning: July, August, and October. )

tights and capes, click your heels and think of me, stark sands gets a tag, chicago!, wanna go with?

Nope, you didn't miss them. I tossed it out on Twitter and got good feedback, and so I thought I'd go ahead and start really planning. I was thinking the two books, same theme plan would work best, and I've got a few in mind, stuff like combining Anthony Loyd's My War Gone By with Andric's Bridge on the Drina, or maybe Herodotus with Pressfield's Gates of Fire or Bourke's Fear: A Cultural History with Kafka's Amerika. And a few others, not all of which involve death and destruction ( ... )

I'm thinking that if we do two per month, but at the same time, people can read one or the other or both and still join in. Otherwise it would be really hard to find one book that no one has read and everyone wants to, you know?

Wait, those episodes are supposed to be the finale? OK then, I think I'm going to hold off on watching them until we know for sure if we're getting the other episodes or not. I mostly don't mind watching things out of order, but since that's all we're getting, I want to see the end at the end! (Also, MAYBE WE COULD PLAN A MARATHON WATCHING SESSION WHEN THEY ALL LEAK. C'MON - YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO.)

Also, hell YES bookclub! I love the idea of the thematically linked fiction/non-fiction pair, although if I could make a fervent plea request that we also pair density/difficultly levels, so that if we're reading two books a month, at least one of them is a quick read. :D? (I can't promise anything re: chatting consistently, because I've been having really WEIRD anxiety issues with chat for the past few years, but I'd obviously be more than happy to meet in person to talk and I AM trying to do better with synchronous internet communication ( ... )

I AM IN FOR MARATHON NYC 22 JUST FOR THE RECORD.

omphale23 July 17 2012, 01:47:12 UTC

Yep, the ones aired as 105 and 106 are really 111 and 112. I'd wait, although it does look like (FINGERS SO FUCKING CROSSED IN HOPE) we'll get the full run. Also, HELL YEAH MARATHON WATCH FOR ALL THE KENNY FEELS ( ... )

I think we're getting all of them, from best I can tell. And! I FOUND THE INTENDED EPISODE ORDER. I'm saving the rest (I've only seen the "first" four) to marathon in actual story order. \o/

BOOK CLUB \o/ YES

BOOK CLUB YAY. I'm going to need ideas from people at some point, but I think I might put up a different post for that.
