Random life update

* We saw Serenity last night. I didn't really 'get' Firefly, but I loved the movie. I totally get it now :D

* Read DC's Identity Crisis today and was blown away. What a fantastic plot! (And tear-jerking, too.) Marvel, take note! In fact, the two of you could learn from each other... I'd be a very happy geek if DC got their act together and released graphic novels as quickly as Marvel do, otherwise I'll have to break down and start collecting issues of Batgirl.

* Speaking of geeks, the ones who live at Comic Geek Speak are currently adding to my comic wish-list.

* Finished reading Luck In The Shadows, Lynn Flewelling's first book, as recommended by nikki_tikki. It's nice to read an author who is consistently good. I really want all of her books now, but they'll have to wait till next month. I have a slew of driving lessons to pay for in the next couple of weeks.

* My diet is going backwards thanks to my period. Damn those hormones!

* Dave bought me series 2 of Hustle, so I shan't be writing tonight. I'll be glued to the TV, enchanted by my favourite grifters.

* And finally, the oven sucks. Despite my best efforts, it didn't manage to brown the kaiser rolls that I spent the afternoon making. *sigh* They look like vampire rolls, all pasty and white. Still, hopefully it'll do a better job on the oven-fried chicken. And with that, I must head back to the kitchen--I'm trying to copycat KFC's yummy chicken burgers, but with a fraction of the fat....

You liked it? Liked 'Luck In The Shadows'? YAY! *dances a happy dance* I was afraid you'd buy it and not like it and then blame me. LOL

BTW, I'm officially in love with Seregil, in case you couldn't figure it out yet. :D

I liked it a lot. I was more taken with Alec than Seregil, but I did spend a lot of time shouting--in my head, I'm not that insane--at them both to stop dancing around each other and kiss!

I like Alec, it's just that Seregil is so... adorably dishonest. LOL I love such types - in books. Pika likes Alec better as well. And well... read the second book. 'Creeping Darkness', if I got the English title right. You might just get your wish granted. :)

He's a disreputable rogue; reminded me a little of Silk from the Belgariad.

I have to wait till next month for the rest of the books. Woe. I'll have to settle for re-reading the three I have in the meantime.

A little bit like Silk? I love the Belgariad. Hmm. :)

Silk rocks. 'Nuff said.

I'm still waiting for BONE DOLL'S TWIN to arrive. HIDDEN WARRIOR got here a week or two ago.

That's got to be fustrating. Hope it turns up soon.

* My diet is going backwards thanks to my period. Damn those hormones!

I have such cravings when I have my period... Last time, I raided the pantry and ate Jake's last mini-bag of fruit snacks (which are like gummy bears, only not as good), lol. Fortunately, he never found out ;-)

[glam-ang.livejournal.com]

I ignored the cravings and still put on weight! After jumping on the scales today, it's all gone, though. I love those fruit snack things, too.

You get Firefly now?

Yay!

*Pongs round the room like a mad ferret*

That makes me happy. I love Firefly. And now I have to go see Serenity, which means braving the bloody cinema... argh...
