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

I've read 'Monstrous Regiment'! I have a quote from it on my profile page for like ages. For my birthday, my boyfriend got me two Discworld books because he is excellent like that, and 'Monstrous Regiment' was one of 'em. Aaah, I was considering buying 'Feet of Clay' as part of my five, but passed on it. I got, what, 'Moving Pictures', 'Night Watch', 'Going Postal', 'Thief of Time', and uh something else I can't remember. Yes, I've read the Tiffany Aching books! God, I want to Tiffany to be my kids' hero. Pratchett is pretty good at writing girls and the different ways they're strong.

Read Feet of Clay sometime! It was fabulous

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

Wait, is Men at Arms the one where Vetinari is in his own dungeons reading a book about lacemaking?

Slow reaction is slow.
