The kneecaps...

Accomplishments of the last couple days!

~ Finished Good Omens. I'm a teensy bit WTF on the ending, but overall I liked it.

~ Cleaned the downstairs bathroom. And I do mean cleaned--scrubbed, washed, the whole nine yards. I even ran the shower curtain liner through the washing machine. Twice. Let's see how long it lasts, insert comment about my sister here, etc.

~ Made chicken quesadillas. I make some damn fine chicken quesadillas. Which my sister apparently likes now. Go fig. Oh well, there was more than enough to go around.

~ Finished watching what we have on DVD of Bones, which is the first three seasons. Thanks and apologies to ammchan, starkmaximum, and magicbulletgirl for letting me flail wildly and beat on things with tiny fists all over various chat windows while I watched the conclusion of the Gormogon arc. Now THAT is how you do a season finale, and yes, I'm looking at you, season two.

And then I emo'd in the proverbial corner for what they did to one of my favorite characters~ *shakes Fist of Righteous Indignation at the writers* Next on my viewing list: NCIS!

~ Conan fic began to form something that sort of looks like a plot. Fear me.

And now I should go bathe. Work at four, whoo monies!

Yay for finishing Good Omens~

Mmm, chicken quesadillas.

The last part just got sort of weird, but I did like the book and the humor and everything. I hereby vow to read more of their work :D *plops down with Discworld*

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

They were delicious :D

[pleonasm]

The ending is rather strange. I think it might be more Neil Gaiman than Terry Pratchett... You'll see what I mean if you ever read any of Neil's short stories.

Enjoy your Discworld~

I thought the ending seemed more the style of Coraline which would, indeed, be Gaiman. It was a good ending, and I really enjoyed the book. It was just...odd XD

I need to also get through The Graveyard Book. Had that one on the burner for a while.

[pleonasm]

I keep meaning to read The Graveyard Book. The problem is, I feel bad about downloading books illegally and I can't go to the library anymore due to, well, owing them money. >> One of these days I expect it will come out in paperback...

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I've tried to get The Graveyard Book at the library, and it always seems to be checked out. So I sort of found the audio-book on a torrent website >_>;; If I like it, I'll buy the book. I just haven't gotten to B&N lately to pick up a copy of Coraline.

[pleonasm]

I guess with it winning the Newbury or whatever award that was, it's in popular demand. XD I don't blame you for torrenting. I would do it myself but I find it difficult to concentrate on audiobooks.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I listened to Coraline during a short road-trip one day. Put it on CD and away I went. It was actually really nice to listen to while driving. Problem with TGB is that the parts are each forty-eight minutes long. So that's one part per CD. Not terribly economical ^^;;

I might start listening to it while I write or am sitting at my computer. Nice and relaxing. I can't function without background noise. Silence drives me crazy XD

[pleonasm]

Though I guess if you had rewritable CDs that might work well?

I've tried it at the computer, but either I have to concentrate on the story I'm writing, or the audiobook. Not both. /attentionfail

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm thinking of picking up a rewritable CD or two. I just hope my car plays them, since I know some car CD players don't like rewritables. But that would be a good way to do it if it works.

I feel like I should be dangling shiny objects in fronts of you :3c

[pleonasm]

fffff I've never heard of that. Lame. Bad car CD players.

I would poke at them, really. Just ask Tat. She used to think it was hilarious.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I'd like to think that technology has improved beyond that point XD Okay, decision made, I am going to go see if I can find a couple of rewritable discs and use my commute as reading time!

You're like a kitty! *uses a mirror to make lights flicker on the wall* :D

[quandtuniverse.livejournal.com]

ffff the Gormogon arc, when I watched that I bawwwwwing all over the place ;o;

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Part of me sort of wishes they had done more with it. It was such a fascinating idea with so much potential for true epicness...and it got three episodes. But the twist at the end was TOTALLY EPIC. Even though I was all bawwwwww at the twist TT^TT

[pleonasm]

o/ Fabulous idea~

*paws at pritty lights*

[quandtuniverse.livejournal.com]

They do go back and address some of it in season four, too. (I can't remember to what extent though.)

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

Season four is not out on DVD yet *sadface* I foresee that becoming my dad's Christmas present. AND THEN I SHALL STEAL IT.

[candy--chan.livejournal.com]

I tried the rewritables. My car wouldn't read them XD Oh well. Backup plan: adapter for my mp3 player! Which I know works. It's just a bit more effort XD Or listen to a chapter a night before I go to sleep.

*scritches behind your ears* So cute~ :3c

[quandtuniverse.livejournal.com]

aw. XD
