-hell yeah, SO much fun! I wish I knew fencing *pouts*

Congrats on the promotion, Kel ^_^

'Eyeopsy,' cute. Like the bar fight story, lol. How is the eye doing, SR?

Bit early for fighting for me. I just trod on a mouse. Obviously, my cat loves me.

Marie Laveau is the Voodoo Queen. Not a Rice fan myself, prefer Chelsea Quinn Yarbro. I thought Lukyanenko had a nice modern twist to the genre. (I'm one of those dreadful people who has actually read all the 'classic' novels, and found most of them turgid. I have to really be in the mood to tackle Dickens or Austen for pleasure, too.)


Gee - Debut Dagger is the one for the unpublished folk, but it is crime/thriller. Hope you have some luck.

Laveau! Dat's der bunny!

I like Pratchett's vampires best.

FLT: The eye is doing fine. Not back to normal, but fine, thanks.
You probably have a fencing group near you, if only your local SCA gang of likeable crazies. That's where I'm learning. (swish, swish..poke.)Be warned,this also generates bruises. Not as many or as spectacular as the ones on the people who wear armor and swing rattan swords at each other, but bruises nonetheless. Fun though!


So we're going fishing today, which is Mom's last half day in town. I have to go schmeer some cream cheese on bagels and pound my coffee.
Then when we get back I've got some bushes that need to get stuck in the ground and looked at sternly, told to grow, and patted on the head.

(Blackcurrants and elderberries.)

I'm more in favour of the Dagorhir approach, myself. Unfortunately, can no longer participate in such jollies. I can however influence others. I've not only inspired LARP in a couple of people, I've also persuaded them to go build their own trebuchet. I'm so proud.

Okay, someone loaned me the first book in the sparkly vampire series.
I'll read it on the basis of it being a cultural phenomenon I should acquaint myself with, but I'm not promising I'll like it. If I do, it's a bonus.


PS: Is anyone else aware that you can essentially audit courses from MIT online? It's kinda nifty!

Nooo!!!! Step away from the brain-eating evil!!

Seriously, it is horrible. I made it through half a chapter, and I'll read pretty much anything. Teh sparklies iz eeevvillll....

The MIT thing sounds cool though.

I finished the book before midnight. It was not a heavy read. I am apparently more forgiving or less discerning in my reading appreciation, as I thought I had definitely slogged through much worse.

Sparkle in sunshine? Seriously? They're mixing Faerie Glamour with fangs, fine, but literally scintillating? What do they do when the clouds unexpctedly break?
By the end of it I wanted to smack him and say "just bite her already". I have a feeling I'd have been happier if she'd gotten the ending she was looking for and it had just been one book. Sort of cut out the middle five or so because I can see where this is headed eventually.

Oh well. It's a study in obsession and codependence blah blah blah.

I'd thought for some reason before starting the book that she was 15 or something, but she just acts like it when it's convenient to the plot. It must have been all the Romeo and Juliet references people were tossing around near it.

lol - SR, it gets worse, trust me working through the series suddenly feeling better about my meagre writing talents, not that I wish to knock her for her success, I don't begrudge anyone their money and life but it is not good.

I actually feel a little less grumpy about the sparkling having read it as the initial description put in me mind of ageing and transforming process of Anne Rice's vampires.

A Vampire recommendation in case you missed, might be old hat to you lot but if you get a chance, check out Let the Right One In by John Ajvide Lindqvist, I'd go with the film first and then read the book. Really good, film was one of the best released last year, truly beautiful and full of Scandanavian mellancollie.

Right... Hey all,

v busy but thought I'd say hello, lot's going on as always, basically too much, as confirmed by doc so will have to pull my shit together and get organised. Hope you're all doing good!

Anyone know of a way to manufacture more hours in the day or failing that, any news on that Browncoat island?

Anyway, my bed is calling, I have 130 words to find and some washing up to do!

night all
