I wish I had been here -- I can picture Susan's face!
My husband is playing ROTK trailers.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

You've got friends to have good times with. When you need to share the trauma of a badly-written book with someone, that's when you go to family.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Nic knows better than to do that with me in the room. Tolkein makes me break out in a rash.

Do you remember what Ursula LeGuin wrote about wanting to found the Halfling Socialist Union after she finished LOTR?

I haven't read any LeGuin in donkey's years, but that one's familiar, yes indeed.
I keep relatively quiet about my untaste for the stuff these days, so as not to upset the multitudes who like it. Personally, I prefer my Norse mythology with sex and music, and a comfy pillow to keep my ass from turning to stone during 17 interminable hours of Brunhilde and whatnot, and watching them shtupp the Rhine Maidens and found the Master race.
Ah, Wagner.

Lizard! How've you been, doll?
Deb, don't tell, but I bought DH the Met's Ring Cycle on DVD; Samuel Ramey singing Woden. Good times, good times.

Heh. All those carolling giant virgins. Dear old Valkries.
Sing it with me, to the tune of "Ride of the Valkyries"
"We're all obNOXious, we're shrieking MADly...."
or, in other parlance?
"Kill the waaaaabit!"

I love LeGuin and Tolkein, thankyouverymuch. I'm entirely aware of the political issues, and yet the sound of the horns of Rohan sends a chill up my spine every damned time I read it.
So.
I'm still trying to figure out what to do with this frelling piece of climbing story. I may just give up and post it on my website, because I haven't a clue who would buy it.
I found a new women's magazine in REI the other day: "Dandelion, the women's magazine for sports, adventure, and style", or some such thing. And... sigh. It was utterly fluff, complete with a 12-page stupidass layout of ski fashion. All the pages were pale pink and pale blue. I really think this is hopeless.

Jeez.
I'm very well, amy! Possibly I have mennnntioned the magical-beautiful-love thing, like, I will not shut up about it. Oh! And I'm going to Germany in November for this young-writer's conference, on scholarship.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I guess with a name like Dandelion, it has to be fluff....
