Oh, and Tep, if you're around, I heard your theme song today.
Holy crap! That is the best thing in the history of best things! And her sidekick is a monkey!!!
I wonder if I can get an adult-sized "Word Girl" t-shirt?
Hey there, lovely! Have you read Evernight yet? (Claudia Gray)
I heard about it while perusing my LJ FriendsFriends list; after reading the synopsis at Amazon, I decided I'd like to read it, but only via the library. So whenever they get it, I'll read it.
I'm currently awaiting David Schwartz's book Superpowers, which should ship on June 10. (David Schwartz, for those who don't know, was a Buffista back in the day. He was part of the multitude of Davids, which led to the renaming of the Davids -- he became Knut the Difficult [this is all recorded somewhere in the FAQ].)
I am slowly amassing an entire shelf's worth of books by Buffistas/former Buffistas. That pleases me to no end.
Yeah, I was going to say that Evernight, while not my beautiful cake, or whatever that phrase is (clearly that phrase, also not my [whatever phrase is]) was written by an awesome fannish LJer sort, so I respect that, even if the teeny vampire thing ain't my cuppa.
Yep yep yep to both awesome fannish types and teeny vampire things.
Oh, looky. The Twilight movie trailer is out.
All the descriptions everybody has given of these books make them sound spectacularly stupid. Also like it would make a FRIGGING TERRIBLE MOVIE.
The trailer seems to completelu fulfill that promise.
I suspect it will probably do fairly well in the theatres. My students LOVELOVELOVE OMG SO MUCH LOVE for the series. Keep in mind, I teach middle school.
What Meara said. I'm very much in the 'OMG! My people! My people with the publishing! Again! Go Team!' mindset. Since she's one of the reasons I started reading any fanfic at all, back in the day.
I just amused myself greatly. I was watching "million dollar password" and I like to close my eyes and try to guess the clue. The word was "bridge" First clue "water" second clue "walking". My guess? Jesus.
not my beautiful cake, or whatever that phrase is (clearly that phrase, also not my [whatever phrase is])
Yeah, where did the cake phrase come from? It came out of nowhere, at least by my perception. (Much like bandom.)
A riff on the Talking Heads, though I don't know the origin of the cake part.
A riff on the Talking Heads
No, I get that. I just wondered where the cake part came from, and why it seemed like everyone was saying it all at once.
