My God, but men have sucked hardcore these past few days. Eric, are you sure you’re male? You’re far too awesome to be male, judging by what I’ve seen of them of late. <3

Sule in particular really is kind of a dick, it turns out, but fuck him. When I came in last night the housemates were awesome at me and we sat in Michelle’s room with bucketmugs of tea (provided by Teaboy) and raspberry turnovers (provided by Teaboy’s dad) and bitched and then geeked. I have the best housemates ever, trufax.

Have now seen Star Trek twice, and just WOW. There is seriously not enough Simon Pegg in that movie, though. Admittedly, and as Michelle pointed out, it could have been The Scotty Movie (We Don’t Give A Shit About Kirk) and there would still not have been enough Simon Pegg in that movie, but nonetheless. More coherent thoughts coming when I have time.

And now I’m in London, so yay! I get to see Del des Anges be funny at an audience tonight. :D

Bonus meme. Snagged from half the flist, it seems like by now.

And another five, because I was bored on the train:
11. Sherlock, John, Henry

13. Martin, Bella, Gonff
14. Hercule, Ariadne, Rhonda

1. Harry Potter... something.
4. Schindler's List
5. Good Omens
11. is... one of the Poirot books by Agatha Christie, but that's all I've got.

[rowanberries.livejournal.com]

OH OH OH.

1. Harry Potter
5. Good Omens
8. Matilda!
11. Sherlock Holmes series?
13. Martin the Warrior! And/or Redwall series at large! <3!
14. Agatha Christie. I want to say Cards on the Table, but...?

[minkhollow]

1) HARRY POTTER. Specifically, I'd say Prisoner of Azkaban, due to Stan.
5) Good Omens!
7) ...is a Watch book. Is it... Feet of Clay? Or Night Watch? I KNOW IT'S A WATCH BOOK. I just don't remember which one Brick was in!
8) Matilda!

AND I SHALL DO THEM ALL. WELL. THE ONES I KNOW.

1. HP.
5. Good Omens, Obv.
6. Urgh. I don't know if I can type it. Pride and Prejudice? SERIOUSLY. COME ON.
7. Feet of Clay, I think. I think that has Brick, mayhaps? Well, it's a Watch book, Feet of Clay or later.
9. YAY WAYWALKERS!
10. I refuse to believe anyone else in the history of the world has been saddled with the name Violette.
11. Sherlock Holmes.
13. Mossflower. Can't fool me, I had to look it up for Children's Lit.

I'm fairly sure. It'd be very confusing if I wasn't.

Star Trek is my new favourite film! Scotty was awesome. So was Spock. So was Uhura. So was McCoy. Everyone except Kirk, who wasn't so much boring as just a tremendous jerk. Maybe even a jerkface.

1) Harry Potter.
5) Good Omens.
9) Samcanon, I believe.
10) Sounds familiar, but I can't place it.
11) Sherlock Holmes.

1. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban
3. UMM a Redwall book? Haha, I don't know.
5. Good Omens
6. Pride and Prejudice (♥)
8. Matilda

I know disappointingly few of these.

*squeals with glee over #3* I didn't know you were a fan of those! :D I love Rosie and Lark so hard. If we're talking Berenene specifically, Will of the Empress. If not, just the Circle of Magic series in general, by tammypierce :D

[synecdoche-and.livejournal.com]

Simon Pegg is in Star Trek? Shit. I might have to see it after all.

[lienne.livejournal.com]

2. and 3. are both by Tamora Pierce.

2 is one of the Keladry series, I think. I want to say the first one, Protector of the Small, but I'm not totally sure.

3 is in the Circle of Magic 'verse. It must be one of the Briar-centric books, but I can't remember who Berenene is. Oh wait hang on. Will of the Empress, right? And she's the crazy empress with the titular will? Was Rosethorn even in that one? Man, my memory is terrible.

Hey Stranger. How was London?

Why am I not surprised that you managed to sneak Good Omens into your book challenge?

...Yes Yes, I'm getting a copy. I'm ordering it as I type (who says men can't multi-task? ;P).

... No really, I am.

... Well, you can't expect me to read the first 100 pages in Borders and not finish it can you?

(Oh Buggre Alle this for a Larke I amme sick to mye Hart of typefettinge)

As for number 10, I will hazard a guess with... 'Wash This Blood Clean From My Hand' (somebody's probably answered it already, but everyone else has already guessed the ones I know.

[trialia]

Also, the Watch book... it's Thud! :D I didn't guess 'cause I thought someone else would guess it and I was too giddy about WotE :D
