The story's told in close-third-person POV, focusing turn by turn on a mysterious & dynamic outcast, a rigid & ambitious zealot, and a clever princess struggling to find a place in an unfamiliar kingdom where she's

I'm very intrigued by Elantris because I have three alternating close-third POVs in my wip (pardon awkward phrasing), so it would be nice to see it done well. I could take notes!

And, of course, ROMANCE! That's always good.

I have seen Conspiracy Theory soooo many times. It was on TV all the time for a while, and for some reason I always watched it. Probably because my alternative was usually writing a paper or something. :)

Doesn't poor Jerry keep saying that he bit off Patrick Stewart's nose, LOL? I'm so glad that movies aren't real, 'cause I enjoy that nose. Intact.

Super cute song, too. I enjoyed the plinkety-plinking. Similar to your ipod shuffle-miracle: I remember once I borrowed an album of Irish music from a friend in my dorm, and when I had listened to it a couple of times, I was still thoroughly unimpressed and afraid to just give it back to her and tell her I didn't like it. (This was one of her very favorite groups). Meanwhile, my own roommate, who was mostly into Japanese pop, asked me if she could listen to the borrowed cd, and I couldn't see why not. She put it on in the background one night after I had gone to sleep. I woke up in the middle of a song that had utterly bored me before, and it suddenly struck me as, like, the most achingly beautiful thing I'd ever heard. It was like the music had finally cracked open and let me inside, and that group is one of my favorites now, too.

So, does this mean you have your new ipod? Yay!!!
