zia_narratora has recreated the tragic stories from Les Miserables, as told by peeps! 
2. On the fourth day of the fourth month, then will come The Eight.
Sound familiar? Then you may've been in The Zone back in the spring of 1996, whenlaughingirl and I typed in pages and pages from The Eight (see icon) in an attempt to convince everyone in said Zone to read the entire book. If you've never read it, the first chapter is available via Amazon here - hey, Lisa, that url is a lot easier to C&P in than typing that entire chapter was, right? And does anyone still have ginsu's parody of that first chapter? If so, please share?

3. Random Fics I've Read This Week And Enjoyed:
Sam Gets Genie Powers in a fic fromregala_electra
Relevance bymarinarusalka, in honor of National Poetry Month
Circa Jan 2006 fic on Dean, learning Latin by [Bad username or site: fryadvocate</a @ livejournal.com] - got the link via![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

Other Stuff I've Enjoyed This Week:
ShinyShiny's list of photo editing programs that are free or supercheap
fishzilla's cartoony and thereisnospoon's pencily Peter and Sam With Emo Bangs art (probably worksafe? Unless work is really really conservative?)
The posts inbookshop's lj on Draco and Harry and series-development, and the discussion that sorta led to in sistermagpie's livejournal on Myrtle as a Fangirl
This shirt, as featured by ShinyShiny
The Wedding ofdezzikitty and jiggery_pokery
X Rated Fusion Liquor - it's got vodka, blood oranges and passion fruit, and it's not only extremely pink, it's also yummy! So is Absolut Pear! On the other hand, Bailey's Carmel? Isn't worth the calories; it's just not that supertasty.
Have also finalized Spring & Summer travel plans. Northeast, here I come! Again! And Again! And possibly, again!
And can anyone figure out what's wrong with this Linksys wireless adapter that has caused Amazon to mark it down to about five bucks, from about sixty?

Look down, look down!
You'll never have enough!
Look down, look down!
You're only made of fluff!

Date: 2007-04-04 05:23 pm (UTC)I didn't like A Calculated Risk at all, actually, but I am hoping that this next book has all the magic of her first, because, well, wow.

"We are not nuns yet, thank God," said Valentine, passing her Marlboro Light to Mireille.
"I'm thinking we can snag a couple soldier boys," said Mireille. "Soldiers rule."
"I have heard," Valentine whispered to her cousin, "that the soldiers do kewl things to nuns! If a soldier should come upon a DIVA in the woods, for example, he immediately takes a thing out of his pants and he puts it into the DIVA, and stirs it about. And then when he has finished, the DIVA has a baby! That's why I want a soldier for my spoon."
"Whoa!" cried Mireille.
"I want a soldier to stir his thing in me," decided Valentine.
"I wanna be stirred too," pouted Mireille.
"I wanna be stirred like cheese soup," pontificated Valentine.
"I wanna be stirred like Betty Crocker batter," filibustered Mireille.
The two cousins solemnly high fived each other, then went on.
