Wrong notes...

The easiest way to avoid wrong notes is to never open your mouth and sing. What a mistake that would be. - Pete Seeger

Dreamwidth...

I now have two Dreamwidth invite codes to share. Would any of you like them?

Sexual clarification...

Just a little slashy clarification. From one of the cons, Gallifrey 1, posted by lv2bliberal,

I love fannish research.

Studying Castiel...

meret posted a link to information about Castiel, more than I have been able to find in my own angel reference books. Can't see any sources on this site, though - references or footnotes - how'd they get the information? Arcane old books like those owned by Bobby or Giles? New Age studies? Channelling?

In any case, intersting bits: "The angel... can help us if there are changes in our lives which may involve a lot of travelling." Considering that Sam and Dean spend their lives travelling from place to place - !

Passion? Understanding? Yes! I'm there.

I like the note that it's "important to listen to the Angels who want to protect us". Listen to Castiel, Dean!

Writer's Block: You Don't Know Me

[Error: unknown template qotd]

One of my friends was surprised to hear that I liked Nine Inch Nails. It surprised me that it suprised them. Why not?

It does happen occasionally that there is something everyone expects me to like, and I don't. C.S. Lewis and Philip Pullman come to mind. Patrick O'Brien. (I might try him again, but I really did give those books my best shot.)

Mostly, I think I'm rather predictable in my likes. Just the other day my friend Sandi said she thought she's figured out my 'type' - we were taking about Methos at the time. After knowing me for thirty years - was that so difficult?

I'm hardly secretive about my likes.

Buffy 4x02 Living Conditions

Now back to Buffy... a nice break from all the new stuff I've been watching.

( Ah, brings back memories of undergraduate years... )

Worlds apart...

I did this haiku-generator I saw on alcibiades' page, and it turned out to be a surprisingly romantic Doctor Who Doctor/Rose piece.

Booking Through Thursday...

From April 30, 2009: Which is worse?

Finding a book you love and then hating everything else you try by that author, or

Reading a completely disappointing book by an author that you love?

The latter, I think. There are a few books by Dorothy Dunnett that I simply don't like. A few novels by Dickens disappointed me: Martin Chuzzlewit, for example. After loving Lindsay Davis' The Silver Pigs with a passion, I was bored by a few of her later books.

But this is rare. Usually, if I like an author, I like all that author's books.

Though there are a few odd cases where an author writes two or three series, and I only really enjoy, or only read, one of them. Robert B. Parker, for example. I love the Spenser novels, more or less like the Sunny Randall books, but can't bring myself to read the Jesse Stone books. Why? For one thing, they aren't written in the first person - and that's a part of why I otherwise so enjoy the Parker style.

With Lois McMaster Bujold, I like her science fiction better than her fantasy. In this case, it isn't so much the style, as the characters.
