vaznetti1. It's Friday. The BH returns tomorrow evening from his wandering in the UK. Next week is Spring Break. I have only one thing left to get done before I head out of here and go get a haircut. So I'm writing a livejournal entry that no one will read, because it's Friday afternoon.
2. Like most tourists to Spain, I've spent more than a few hours in Atocha Station, waiting to change trains. It's a big, ugly, uncomfortable building, and my heart tenses up when I think about it.
3. Voice of the Beehive, I think, plays the role in my musical landscape that Tori Amos plays in that of many people on my friends list. I was thinking of this while listening to "It's Just a City" in my car on the way to work.
4. On a brighter note, their song "There's a Barbarian in the Back of my Car" is the best Duncan/Methos song ever. Exhibit A: he's drinking all my beers, he's wearing all my clothes, and if he winks at me again I think I'll take him home...
5. Back to work now.

And also, I'm reading The Disorderly Knights, and my mother is buying me Pawn in Frankincense for my birthday, and this makes me excited and I have to share with someone who concurs there can never be enough Lymond.

Date: 2004-03-12 02:28 pm (UTC)It's just after the sack of Gozo, and Lymond is about to go to Tripoli. I can't get the Marine's Hymn out of my head, thanks to my Dad.
I think this one, more than any of the others, is cementing my sense of this a series, because a larger number of characters are starting to recur. I was positively delighted to see Kate and Philippa again.

Date: 2004-03-12 02:33 pm (UTC)I know a lot of people have read Dunnett at slightly younger ages than I am now, so I thought maybe I'd be spared the syndrome.
Not a chance.
And also, I loved your post on litfic from a few months back. And I also spent a large chunk of my early adolescence devouring your XF fic, and I am looking forward to getting to see enough Farscape to read something besides The Naming of Names, which was highly cool. Wow, I think my list of people to leave LJ comments to now that I'm not too shy to tell them how much I love their writing only has like, eight more names on it now.

Although I now feel like a decrepit crone, if you've been reading my fic since you were 13... Sigh.

She says, using her Crichton icon. Or do translator microbes not count?
no subject
Date: 2004-03-12 02:45 pm (UTC)And Crichton really isn't from the same Wimsey--Lymond--Miles Vorkosigan school of glib and brittle hero.
That's worth an LJ post there, the different kinds of heroes, unless someone's already done it.
I still need more Dunnett icons. I don't have enough. Although I'm awfully fond of this one, speaking of Jerott and Disorderly Knights...

Date: 2004-03-12 02:48 pm (UTC)No, you're quite right.
I believe there was such an LJ post--it was metablogged--the one about "rogues" and "alpha bastards"? Francis being the latter and Crichton the former, I think.

Date: 2004-03-12 02:25 pm (UTC)Yeah, I'm at work today too. So of course, I'm reading livejournal.
