sabLOOOK, I tell you, at the set of Forsaken/TMBG icons ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
runpunkrun made. I'm wearing one right now, as a matter of fact, and I think it brings out the screaming Argonauts in my eyes. Just you wait, also, I tell ya, till Punk and I let loose with our ITEOTWAWKI(AIFF) icon set, birds, snakes, aeroplanes and all.
The best part of all this comes Tuesday, when, in the great name ofsorlklewis, Internet once returns to the House of Raging Women. We should be online Tuesday night, and boy howdy, y'all just WAIT and see what sort of virtual ass we kick.
LJ says there are two of us who list "Josephine Humphreys" as an interest, but, as always, both of us are me. Let this be a left-handed rec to anyone interested to read her holy triad of novels, Dreams of Sleep (being the story of a woman, her daughter, and their babysitter, who saddle up in a station wagon and run away), Rich in Love (being the story of the hyperintellectual, hyperindependent Odoms of South Carolina as told by 17-year-old Lucille -- think The Royal Tenenbaums in a spun sugar drawling plantation), and The Fireman's Fair (being the story of a lawyer who dropped everything to go live on an island and play golf until a hurricane blows it all away, leaving Rob [THE finest first-person male narrator written by a female author I have ever read] nothing but his dog and the pirate's wife). She slips under the radar, Humphreys, and I don't think she should, because she just fucking nails it and she writes with the wit and affection of a wry, knowing smile.
LJ says there's only *one* of us who lists "Punk Maneuverability" as an interest, but I'll bet we can change that right here and now. See,
How common are sabine101's interests
(*You should also feel free to ask me about any of my Interests, should you be interested.)
Shox is cooking dinner for us, or so he claims, and we're still deciding whether to make the schlep down to Orange County tonight to see the WWS show or to wait here and see if Jason, Chris and Lij make a better offer. Everything, as always, up in the air till the last minute.
But more importantly, I am a good three-fourths of the way done with The Dark Tower VII as read on my iPod by George Guidall, and, holy fuck, in the name of the turtle, DUDE, this book is SO GODDAMNED SAD.wax_jism, stand by, and when I'm done I promise to find you so we can dissect appropriately over AIM. I've listened to the whole DT series on tape, but I nearly copped out with this one and bought the book instead -- I was at the airport, about to board the plane to NY, and one thing led to another, you know how it goes. Then, of course, I landed in NY, downloaded the thing, loaded it onto Mom's iPod, and here we are again. Sure, I'm out $35 for the hardback, but it was worth it. I'm nearing track 500 of 796...we're in NY and Roland just left the spoiler building to go meet back up with Irene. More on this story, naturally, as it unfolds.
In the name of the ka-tet of 19 and the ka-tet of the Rose, I remain, as always,

Date: 2004-11-13 02:34 am (UTC)Scanning over your lists of interest, I note we have several others in common that I missed on first glance. "Northern Exposure" (Dr. Fleischman! Why, oh why did you have to leave and ruin the show?!?) and M*A*S*H* (growing up, my older brother insisted we watch it, but after a while, I admit, I fell in love! My first crush was on Radar, then later on Hawkeye! *blush!*). Oh! And would "Janeway/Seven" be as in 'Captain Janeway' and "Seven of Nine"? And would that "/" be as in, slash-slash? There's a pairing I would have never imagined! o_O!
We should be online Tuesday night, and boy howdy, y'all just WAIT and see what sort of virtual ass we kick.
Can't wait!

Date: 2004-11-13 03:28 am (UTC)Completely canon, I'm sure! :D Voyager was the Star Trek I didn't want to like. That is, I just didn't feel right at first that all my favorites from TNG weren't there (never was much into the original series, but again, that older brother of mine saw to it that I watched it!). It didn't take long until I was sucked right in, though! "Seven" always fascinated me in the same way "Data" (and on a smaller level, "Spock") did with that whole, "not-quite-human-but-more-human-than-human-in-some-ways" thing. I'm a high sanguine, by nature, and therefore, very much a people person. They just fascinate me and watching those who do not play by traditional 'emotional' rules is just extra interesting. /end geeky yammering :p
I've never actually read any ST fic, being as I have since discovering (relatively recently) the concept of fan fic (and after the brief but I think, very common, moment of WTF is this?!?), completely enamored of LOTR fic as well as the rare, but out there to be found if you know where to look Faculty fiction. In fact, at first I was silly enough to think that ff was a concept that was exclusive to LOTR! How WRONG I was! I've had lots of moments of, "There's fic about THAT!?!" Do you write any other fandoms?
Wish I had "Rich In Love" in my hands now. I have at least a two hour wait in Atlanta tomorrow at the Mini dealership (taking mah-babeh in for service/emissions recall fix) and it'd be great time to read. Oh, well. Guess it'll be magazines instead.
:-)

Date: 2004-11-14 12:53 am (UTC)Say, have you and Katherine hooked up in Ohio yet? You should take her to lunch. Or, rather, since she's the older one, I'll make her take you to lunch, on my behalf. Yes? *g*

Date: 2004-11-14 01:36 am (UTC)We haven't yet -- have had several near-misses. My problem is that whenever I'm in Columbus, I am with (a)parents, or (b)friends who already think I am antisocial. So it's hard to wander off and do what I want to do. Maybe I can swing it so that I have a few free hours when I get back from Thanksgiving, but it's doubtful. AGH. But it's definitely gonna happen sometime, and I am all for lunch.

spoilers!
Date: 2004-11-14 12:51 am (UTC)I'm forging ahead. Roland, Susannah and Oy are in Fedic. George Guidall reads slowly, so I get to savor the book, which is a good thing, because if I were reading it myself I'd be hiding and skimming and this is much much better.
SO SAD CRAZY SAD!
Also, 'Ling. WHO is that in your icon?
Re: spoilers!
Date: 2004-11-14 01:46 am (UTC)We'd been drinking you see.
Yes. The first terrible instance nearly killed me in the book. That just messed me up and then the other--
That wasn't much better. And there's more, too.
Aiee. AIEEEEEEE. Literally, I was sobbing after the last moment of ka-tet for about fifty pages. I had to put it down and go cry.
Question
Date: 2004-11-15 04:23 pm (UTC)Just one quick question...is there any wepsite in which I get some mp3 of WWS, or a website with a preview of some of the songs or sth?.-
