The book meme that's doing the rounds. Because my dinner isn't cooked yet and I'm booooored.

I think there's a theme in what I've read and loved....

1) Look at the list and bold those you have read.
2) Italicize those you intend to read.
3) Underline the books you LOVE.
4) Strike out the books you have no intention of ever reading, or were forced to ( Read more... )

This 'extended ROTJ' vid made me giggle. I have no idea where it's from - obviously a TV show parody of the L/O scene - but it's almost too knowing.

And I had no idea someone had put Mark on the Muppet Show on YouTube.

You can also get the sex scenes from Black Magic Woman....

Back to the books - the boring old psychology books, that is. Boo!

Finally, finally, finally - I've finished my big-huge-monstrous-behemoth of a Luke/Vader AU story, Equally Cursed and Blessed.

It is done.

It's far too big to post to livejournal, so instead I'll just put headers here and follow the link to read it if you're at all interested.

I gave in and bought Invincible. Just finished it....

I haven't read a new profic novel since Allegiance, but I figured  that a SW book that has a Skywalker/Solo going up against family should be worth a read. I've skimmed a few of the other LotF books in the bookshop so had a basic knowledge of what was going on, and in Denning's favour I didn't ( Read more... )

Sat here waiting for my research project to grow legs and print itself for once, damnit. Been thinking...

... about how some of things I kind of take for granted in the SW-iverse I can't actually remember where they come from. I wondered if anyone else had the answers. So let's play a game....

Fanon or Canon?

May the 4th be with you, and all that.

Been thinking a lot about SW fanfic lately. Obviously, it's a non-too-subtle attempt to dissociate from all the RL things that need doing. But what the hell.

I finally finished writing Equally Cursed and Blessed today. Sadly, I've no streamers of winning-line tape to run through. Oh well. It's had me thinking ( Read more... )

Has anyone read the Star Wars: Empire comic series? Whilst randomly surfing wookipedia (yes, I'm at work) I found this:


Star Wars Empire: In the Shadows of Their Fathers

It certainly sounds like it has potential... but I learnt from Vader's Quest to be cautious.

Thoughts??

Apparently, Mark Hamill is supposed to be on Radio 1 in the UK tommorow between 1 and 4pm, on Edith Bowman's show. It should be a fairly positive affair, considering she's the resident geek.

You can listen (live or afterwards) over the web here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/listen/

I caught the end of her show today - asking for questions to be ( Read more... )

I bought sunflowers! Trying to cheer myself up after a farce of a day yesterday, which included somehow being invited to help children with EBD (if you believe in that) absail, and then a comedy of a consultation which was, unfortunately, observed by my supervisor. Ooooh, life. You are funny sometimes.

I need good!fic - anyone come across anything ( Read more... )

Real life update - because I'm excited.

Year One is nearly over. All coursework is in (hallelujah!) and it just remains to run through the finish line and collect the space blanket and squash. Woo!

Year Two is looking...

Well.

Remember that scene right at the beginning of Silence of the Lambs, where Clarice is called into whatshisname's office and ( Read more... )
