We had a pretty huge fire here this week; the whole town smelled like smoke. My place is fine, far from the mountains, but the county is overtaxed with expenses and it won't be good for anyone local. It was par for the course, really, as the week was full of unpleasant events that could have been worse but still sucked. Case in point: my first negative fortune cookie fortune ever read, " Today your mouth is moving but nobody is listening." Cheery!
I've been online very little, have in fact been reading actual books and riding my bike, even watching a bit of television when not doing the necessary. Most of my online time has gone into my favorite game, Kingdom of Loathing. Great distraction from stress, and I am glad of it.
The Dresden Files novels are enjoyable so far. Well, the first one is, which is as far as I've gotten. I haven't started the television version yet, but I plan to do so. There is definitely slashy potential in the book, but I like the most prominent woman character enough to want to read het in the series as well for a change.
Black Books is silly and funny and very, very slashy. I love that the episodes are less than 25 minutes long, the perfect length for a funny break. Manny is adorable, but I enjoy Bernard and Fran immensely. Every episode is a surreal set up for some ridiculous punchline. I don't recommend it to recovering alcoholics or their children, though. Not quite as triggering as Poppy Z. Brite, but then nothing is.
Avatar continues enjoyable, with an upgrade to somewhat intriguing.
So, flist, how's by you? Also, if I missed any comments, I apologize; I've not been able to check my email often. I will answer everything, non-scout's honor.
