I don't get the cover. Elspeth is blonde.

Little Hannah the Fool can't make up her mind. I was about to burst by the time I reached the last page. Ugh. Should send her to some motivational course. As always, Gregory uses history as Elizabeth used her man-whores. Pfft.

Oh she writes delightfully! I can't wait for her next book! Please, Ms Clarke, please publish the next book already!

This is the last book in the trilogy - no wait! There's a fourth one coming soon. Oh bloody hell. Can no body stop this guy from writing? Now why would I wish that? I have no clue myself. But he should keep promises. It was meant to be a TRILOGY!

Oh good. Another good Cillian Murphy flick. He he. But Eccleston - ewww though his character was - practically stole the limelight.

Time to Get this Up and Running

Wednesday, January 24, 2007 - 3:38 PM

I think I fell into a hole and slept my way through the Chirstmas season. I'm almost certain I'm catatonic to some degree. New posts have become so hard to fish for. A psedo re-opening should arrive with photos of my new puppy. It's Mother's really, but I like to think it loves me more than any person alive. But oh she bites.

Does anyone watch Get Backers? It's my only reason to live at the moment.

Oh, how incongruous! My reading. I read Flashman and dog training manuals only. I cannot concentrate long enough to complete my Yourcerner. I'm worried. I've succumbed to choosiest reading. I'm picking at my books. What horror - what next?

And -

I'M GODDAMNED LAZY I DON'T WANT TO UPDATE MY MOVIE LOG. I SHOULD STOP WATCHING MOVIES.

YES show us pictures of the puppy! what 'brand' is she? ;)

Misnomer: Thanks. And I extend my greetings and heartiest wishes for the new year to you as well:)

Ciel: The 'brand' as you so eloquently put it, is an Australian Silky Terrier. Small bundle that hides a big dog inside... What terror she already strikes with those fangs! Hehe.
