Oh yeah.
NB - I must thank Sean
THANKS SEAN!!!!
for mentioning
A Song of Ice and Fire.
I don't recall whether it was here or in
Boxed Set
or where, but it made me go and buy the first book in the series and I've been wolfing through it and now through the second. Bless you, young Sean! For lo, I had been pining for Good Engrossing Narrative To Get My Teeth Into, and had been sad that there was nothing in the bookshop to satisfy my yen. And now I have these books! Yay! (And perhaps then I'll try Tad Williams?)
It would be nice if he could up his game a bit, actingwise. I think he's shown every evidence of being a very mediocre young actor so far, but he's only wee yet.
Didn't he do a play in London over the summer that was pretty well-reviewed? I'm not sure -- all I really remember about it was that he got naked on stage every night. I was disturbed by the idea at the time but bless him, he does seem to be all grown up now.
(Meanwhile the prospect of disrobed Emma Watson makes me want to put some clothes on her and then slap her. Because, judging from the interviews I've seen involving her, she is a profoundly silly, self-conscious and affected little girl who is under the impression that she's Emma Thompson.)
Sing it. I saw some interview with the three of them in a wood-panelled room somewhere (no, I don't know why either) and I wanted to slap her in the face. She's easily the weakest link in GoF but you're right, she really does think she's Emma Thompson. And she does this fake-upper class thing with her jaw that makes me itch to reach through the screen and shake some sense into her.
And Cass, I hope it gets colder soon? In any case, I hope you feel better. Allergies suck.
Nah, the frozed stuff can stay away now. I just need to get back on my drug regime.
Cass! Don't forget the Buffy watchalong!
Speaking of allergy meds... After my mega dose, I fell asleep at 6 and woke up about twenty minutes ago. I missed the watch and post... Sad.
It's all morning, wake up!
It's all morning, wake up!
I'm awake! I'm awake!
Gonna look at my Spanish. Really. Any second now.
Toto picture to get you going: [link]
Spanish. Really. Now. Really.
Spanish is done. Where are all you people? I'm talking to myself.
15 minutes? That's quick.
Toto is seriously cute and your apartment looks seriously huge!
15 minutes? That's quick.
Yeah, it's just the second day, so I only had two pages to read. I'll go over the vocab more on the train.
Toto is seriously cute and your apartment looks seriously huge!
He is! And the apartment is huge! Life is good.
I've been making lists and dreading actually doing anything about them. Watch me be productive now!
Toto is pretty cute.
Happy Belated Birthday to Anne! I hope it was a lovely one and that the year to come is worthy of your fabulousness.
I was buried under a mountain of work and couldn't play yesterday. Today looks the same.
Learning Spanish is on my list as well. There are so many Spanish speaking people in my area. I've tried a couple times but got bogged down with other life stuff and didn't get far.
I learn languages easily enough, but I do not understand people well. Sad to say that every time someone with a strong accent calls I have to give the phone to DH because he can understand anyone. I have to be looking at BIL's face to understand him. I adore him and it makes me sad when he calls my cell to chat and I can only catch a quarter of what he is saying.
Off to school... Be back... I hope...
