Backdated owing to lack of internets

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.

I haven't read Aly's books beyond the samples I've seen in different books/online, but I wasn't keen on her. Something about her bugged me.

I did the exact same thing as you with PotS, and as a result didn't read it for ages, but when I did I fell in love with them and now they're my favourites. Kel is much more grounded and down to earth than her other heroines, and I recommend giving her more of a chance than just the prologue - after all, it put me off too.

*nodnods* Shiny! :D

Eh, IDK. I can't stand Alanna, m'self, but I know there are a lot of people who love her. Each to their own, I'm guessing :)

Heh. How much Alanna is there?

Shiny indeed! ^_^

I like Alanna, but I don't adore her - she's definitely not a favourite character.

There's not much at all, actually! She gets mentioned in the first two (I think she might pop up very briefly in the second), appears a few times in the third, and gets a line or two at the beginning of the fourth but that's about it.

(And now the laptop appears to be dying, so I'm finally off to bed. Night!)
