Yeah, I had totally planned to re-read the series prior to the publication of book 6, but then it got to be last weekend and I realized that I had not done it.
I think that after I finish 6, I'm going to go back through 5.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Nothing happened in six, except ... no, nothing.

Compassionately intolerant
I found more than a few typos and it really threw me off. Being dyslexic, I've got a hard enough time having to reread things my miswired brain scrambles. Actual typos are a bane. ("Did I read that wrong? No? Wait. Does it really say?" Argh.)
I'm with Tara on the whole people's spelling is so bad on the internets (icluding mine) but in publishing? There should be higher standards!

Swouncing
Poking head after a few days with no outside-world-computer-access to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, I'm both horrible late and on time: the 14th was Ouise's birthday, the 15th was jengod's, the 16th was Paul's (PMM's DH) - and all I have left now is send them belated wishes for a great year. However, at least for one Buffista my computer is behaving itself, since today is juliana's birthday, and I can wish her a wonderful day and a great year, without any "oy, I wish I weren't late" stuff. So, wishes all around!

Yay, Theo. Curse of Chalion is good fun, and the next book, Paladin of Souls, is somehow way better. It's fabulous. Same world, though the stories don't intersect very much. There's a third out now, but in HC so I'll be waiting awile.
Either I was very distracted in 1998, or I've just forgotten that there was a Godzilla made that year.
I have the soundtrack, which is pretty decent when I'm in a certain mood, but never did see the movie.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
Happy birthday to ( deepbreath) OuisejenGodPaulandJulianna!
and now for the hivemind question . In the 70's there were at least 2 different fake interviews with popular figures and all the answers to the questions were popular song lyrics. for example: Nixon was interviewed and when asked how he was feeling - the answer to the question was " on top of the world"( carpenters) and when Mr. Jaws was interviewd one of the answers was " why can't we be friends , why can't we be friends" ( war) . anyone got anymore info and even where they might be found?

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Happy Birthday, juliana!
And Happy Belated Birthdays to Ouise, and jengod and Paul.
Also, Happy Anniversary to Disneyland, which opened 50 years ago today.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
DavidS will be able to answer your question, beth! I can remember those records, and in fact IIRC the "artist" did those records from the 50s on... alas, I can't remember the name, of course. You might look through the song listings for Dr. Demento collections as I'm sure some of them ended up in there!
