and there will, in the very near future, be a commentfic party on my journal. heads up!
* I come back from the old country richer by two pair of pants and, uh, five Discworld books, oh maaaaan Discworld. I <3 Good Omens as much as the next guy and I <333 Johnny Maxwell bunches, but as far as Discworld goes, I am a johnny-come-lately ecstatic that there are, like, ten billion more Discworld books for me to get through.
* Some cool stuff cropped up on my flist--

fahye: Subnormality, a webcomic whose teal deer tendencies is made up for by its affectionate cleverness, of which this strip is a fine example.
-- vialuciusmalfoy: Oglaf, a webcomic that's like a parade of dick jokes, with pictures! The archive only warns for SFW-ness.

woosterfeed: They painted a crossword puzzle 100 ft high on the side of an apartment building in Lvov City, Ukraine. "Questions for the puzzle can be found in various locations around the city, on monuments, theaters, fountains, etc."
* Um, holy crap, I just found a shitload of stuff I wrote in high school. I thought these were lost to the ages and various hardware failures! Holy shit, HP warfic. Holy shit, the time I accidentally wrote Neil Gaiman RPF. Holy shit, shitloads of origfic, and it's interesting seeing which I still like seven years later. These might be posted at some point. I almost want to go through the contents of old 3.5" diskettes and see what else I find.
* Perfume! Do you use it? Which? What sort of scents do you like? I am maybe poking around for one, so might you recommend to me a scent that is like Davidoff Cool Water, Tommy Girl, CK1, or Dior Addict Shine? Something springy and fruity, but not like a candy, and I don't like the musky vanilla/sandalwood/rose type of scents.

DISCWORLD <333. VIMES. So street-smart, and funny, and a complete asskicker, omg, Viiiiiiimes, and his THOROUGHLY AWESOME WIFE SYBIL RAMKIN. I just finished 'Fifth Elephant' (I haven't read a mystery novel in YEARS and this book totally tricked me into it) and am currently reading 'Going Postal', which I am enjoying muuuuuuch. I think my favorite so far is 'Soul Music'.
I've only read a couple of Watch books I think. "Guards! Guards!" and possibly something else. What book do Angua and Carrot end up hooking up in?

My other favorite Pratchett book is 'Feet of Clay.' It will make you sob and laugh in the same sentence. "I DO NOT CONSIDER THAT A CONVINCING ARGUMENT." You will understand that quote eventually. OH OH. Also the Tiffany Aching books! Or at least, the second, which would be the one I've read. My library doesn't have the first. Anyway, the one I read was 'A Hat Full of Sky' and it was really easy to understand the background even without reading 'The Wee Free Men' and Tiffany is hardcore and pretty much awesome, especially when you consider that she is 11 and has third thoughts.
Okay, going to stop squeeing madly now. XD

I really love Monstrous Regiment, Lass, read it right now! Also Going Postal kinda made me sad, but it was so good! Also Thief of Time--all the Death books actually.

(Since you've already read Monstrous Regiment, do you understand the urge to write Polly/Mal?)
