I believe there's a sequel out.
????? Really.
Damn him, I know I'll read it. I'm an easy mark. (Well, like I said, the parts that were engrossing were quite good, but the Narnia stuff just made me roll my eyes.)

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oooo! Calling Plei and Cass! I just was directed to the Zoya site and saw the new Smoke and Mirrors collections. Holy cannoli, are they pretty. Any thoughts on either set?
I kinda want them all, but rationally know I wouldn't wear all of them. But Petra, Codie, Marina, Tao, and Yana are particularly yummy to me.

Steph, are you on Goodreads? If so, you (or anyone else) can find me here: [link]
Also, if anyone knows a Goodreads equivalent for movies (that's not Flixster or I Check Movies), I'd love to know about it.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I'm iffy on the book in general. At times I was so painfully aware of how derivative it was that it took me out of the story. But some parts were really engrossing. It was just very uneven.
good points, really. and yes, uneven.
I cannot believe the sequel. I'm going to wait to read reviews before I dive in.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm always startled where people see slash where I can't even imagine it. Apparently Sherlock fandom went crazy about a pair of mugs? Is it possible y'all need some canon, stat?

Because books.
I want to know when "personal fanon" became "headcanon".

I am not, but I probably should be, huh? I'll have to check it out.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Jeepers. I was having a silly conversation with the brother of my BFF on Facebook. (I haven't seen him in 25 years and have rarely even spoken to him on Facebook, so this is not in any way an actual relationship.) He was spouting feel-good aphorisms and I was playing cynical Devil's advocate. This morning I get a long message from him that he "doesn't need all this negativity from me" and he had a crush on me since high school and he would still like believe I'm that girl who can conquer the world. I responded (carefully) that I was just messing around, I didn't think either of us were taking it seriously, and I didn't mean to upset him. Then he wrote back breezily that it's fine, he just wants me to be happy. FFS. I need to get a drink and ask G. if her brother's love life has imploded or something.
Why are people so weird?
