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.

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.

Rosethorn was mentioned, even if she didn't appear, in the scene where Briar finds Daja with Rizu...

Edit: oh, and yes, Berenene's the Empress.

I do not remember this at all but I will take your word for it. :D My memory of that book basically goes "I think a megalomaniacal empress hits on Briar and then some awesome stuff happens and a magic shield might be involved."

Hee. *snugs*

Rosethorn appears at the beginning. She and Briar angst at each other re: nightmares and suchlike, and it's terribly cute.

Berenene is indeed the empress.

*nod* I couldn't quite recall. Fibro!memory for the lose.

I know. *G*

2 is indeed from the Kel series, but it's not the first one. Yukimi isn't in that one.

3. Yep, Will of the Empress, although you've been beaten to it. Rosie does appear - she's in it at the beginning and gets at least one rather adorable moment with Briar.
