Oh, look, all of the counted stuff in my subject starts with "s". Heh.
Y'know, it's really frustrating when you really need/want to talk to someone on-line and they just refuse to get on. (You probably know who you are, but to remind you, your initials are NLS. Get ooooooon.) Argh. I have fic and I need feedback!
Today I listened to all of the commentary left on my Coupling DVDs, so I've finally exhausted the newness that little resource of pleasure. It's reminded me of the American version, however, and my feelings of "bleh" concerning that. I s'ppose it would have been nice for it that to have worked out. I only say this because there were a couple of times at school that I was going somewhere with my DVDs and someone on my floor would ask about them. When I tell them Coupling I don't exactly want them thinking of the American version. Because that's not even close to the glorious hilarity that is the original UK. And some people just don't know this. So I guess it would have been nice for it to have been funny and successful and whathaveyou just so more, ahem, "uncultured" Americans could appreciate it. (I don't mean that in an offensive way, I just couldn't think of another word.) On the other hand, the UK one is just better. Now if only I had some form of BBC...
I also finished Dune. FINALLY! It was the book that wouldn't end. Yeesh. Good, in its way, but hard to get through. At least for me. I'm now reading The Sparrow by Mary Doria Russell. It's Jesuits! It's space! It's Jesuits in space! ("I'm gonna kick yo ass like a Jesuit!"-- Natasha wants me to write, produce, direct movies like Kevin Smith and we talked about dealing with Jesuit ninjas, because hey! at least the colors are similar. Or something. Never mind, really.) Should be interesting.
Also continuing my Sparrington addiction. Am now reading a fic that is absolutely brilliant and beautiful and leaves me wanting more and more and more. I wish I could write like this. Le sigh.
