Random stuff:
I am upset by this report of how they are changing the plot of Y: The Last Man for the movie. Makes me sad. There is so much awesome in the books, I just don't really get them feeling like they needed to add more tension....there was plenty of it in there.
I am way behind the times but I am slowly embracing the idea of 'podcasts'. It does bug me that they have to be called podcasts, given that the MP3 format is playable on all sorts of non-pod items but whatever. I started with Gala Darling's being happy podcast. I am currently listening to a very geeky podcast called Made of Fail which features Cleolinda and has a lot of talk about vampire mythos as well as Twilight.
I am also impressed that Radio New Zealand is making their Darwin Lectures series available online. I have downloaded them, but not yet listened to them. Should be good when I do though! They also have a fantastic collection of writer's talks which is awesome for someone like me who didn't make it to the festival and can't listen to radio during the day.
Lee and I have been enjoying Supernatural season one, I like how it's not too scary to watch, but it is creepy. I like how the stories are familiar, often based on urban legends, but there are new slants on the details. I like that Dean from Gilmore Girls is in it, because he's pretty, and Lee is catered for also because there is generally a hot girl who is somehow affected by the Monster of the Week.
I am reading Airhead by Meg Cabot, which is a sort of weird story about...well, I'm actually not too sure what's going on just yet, so I'll get back to you on that. I recently finished rereading Squire, the third Kel book, which I enjoyed but also have reservations about.
I want to write more short stories, but I have no ideas for starting places. I managed to write a good one based on a dream but I have no inspiration for the next one. *le sigh*
