First Narnia and now this? I tremble to think what's next.
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

We're Literary 2: To Read Makes Our Speaking English Good
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I love when writers put in that kind of life detail, Jesse. I do it in my stories.

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

Yuck.

Dakota Fanning...no. Margaret Simon(hello?) probably looks more like Allyson age 12.

Herding cats for fun
The BBC produced a few episodes of the Narnia story, I think in the 80s. The actress playing Lucy was chunky, freckled, and had the most godawful horsey overbite. We said, "Well, maybe she's a really good actress?" Oh no. All the poor child could do was open her mouth wide to indicate wonder, fear, anger at Edmund, frustration when nobody would believe her story about the woods in the wardrobe, etc. Lemme tell you, the horrors of bad British dentition played a large part in our inability to suspend disbelief during this production. Plus Aslan was a poorly controlled animatronic plush with jerky movements and no facial expression. It was altogether quite disappointing.
So I think, the next try can't be too much worse.

Depends on how long it take to develop the movies, I guess.

Oh, there's a new Kay book out tonight! Oh, yeah, I really like Kay!
I'll thump fdown the moola for it in hardback. Can I wait for my sister to pick it up and get a really good discount?
I dunno!
Damn, I wish I'd known. I'd've asked to send a book to you to get auto'd.
Give me a recap when you go, please!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Which book are you reading?
The Hanging Gardens. And it wasn't until after I finished the book (in the wee hours of this morning) that I worked the stupid title out. Okay, title not stupid, ita stupid.
And the Wire In The Blood book was The Last Temptation. Never did nail down the why of the "wire in the blood," and am currently not even sure if that book was made into TV for the BBC, or it was others in the series. I intend to read/rent them all, so eventually I will know.
I think I need to mail them to my mother now.
