  • Muse: Hooray for Wellywood (Really!), in reply to mattgeeknz,

    *frivolous aside*

    (the d is silent).

    For me, thanks to these four small words, it's now referred to as "Wellywoo", and will be forever and ever.
    Amen, Wellywoo.

  • Up Front: Home is Where the - Ooo, shiny!, in reply to Russell Brown,

    Abba-solutely. People sometimes ask me how I avoid slacking off. The reverse is more often true: that you lose track of when to goddamn stop.

    This. This, this, this, this, this, this, this.

    I’m slowly getting better at turning off but at times it really is a hard-fought battle.

  • Busytown: A new (old) sensation,

    Currently reading The Last Werewolf, and it's really. Really. Good. Damn you Glen Duncan, do not disappoint me.

    Though it is the first time I've ever seen the word "uglily" committed to paper.

  • Busytown: A new (old) sensation, in reply to Cecelia,

    Wulf - definitely lyrical, I really enjoyed it but I suspect there may be others who would find it overly and self-consciously "writerly".

    I have The Last Werewolf on my "to be reviewed" pile and it looks really good - anything that comes with a Nick Cave recommendation has to be good.

  • Busytown: A new (old) sensation,

    Following this discussion with interest (and looking at the Andris Apse photos).

    If it wasn't for the afore-twitter-mentioned burnout (well, Jolisa will know what I mean!) I would even try and make an intelligent comment too...

    As it is, I'll just leave it up to y'all at the moment. :)

  • Up Front: Say When, in reply to Emma Hart,

    I read Sidney Sheldon at 13 so I'm pretty sure in a short five years I shall be dissolute and on the streets...

  • Muse: TV Review: Good Gods Almighty!,

    I enjoyed it. I laughed out loud. I just wished the actor playing Axl/Odin didn't do the gormless idiot 21 year old mugging quite so vigorously. It was a little irritating by the end.

    Growing pains.
