Erato

Rereading Nightseer by Laurell K. Hamilton, which I definitely read in my formative years but remember only vague yet indelible concepts and scenes from.

My strongest thought so far is 'BUT WHERE DID ALL THIS GO IN YOUR LATER BOOKS, HAMILTON??!?'

No, seriously, there are so many ladies in this book.

I need a Jane icon, although my monster girls icons will probably do fine in a pinch.

1. My laptop is dead and my charger has given up the ghost, so for the moment my computer time is...flexible. Let's call it that. That sounds nice.

2. I have a surprisingly wide excitables list for next year. Black Sails, Sleepy Hollow, Gothica, tentatively Almost Human...but like Defiance, I think I'm going to try and wait it out until season one is finished before I start watching. I've discovered I do much better that way? BUT IT'S HAAAARD

3. I'd be excited about Epic - and I'm seeing it everywhere - except Fungus Grotto is a carbon copy of their plot, only progressive. Like, the 'goes to the miniature/otherwise alien-yet-familiar world is a familiar plot points, especially with fairies and lost parental figures and size shifts (I think Alice in Wonderland influenced the form that a lot of Western 'under the mound' type stories take hugely) and it looks like this takes a seriously different form, but at the same time I keep thinking - I saw this. It had a WOC as a lead, with a live and active female beloved parental figure, and I waaaaant that one. Anyway, who knows. It would be a good family film so when it comes out I might use it to tug Mom and Sam out of the house, and I'll keep an open mind.

4. I thought I was fully done with TVD, but I went back out of curiosity to watch the last episode, and now the events of the finale (which I knew better than to watch) have been so vile to hear about I suspect my brief dip in the pool has left me scummy with lingering investment.

5. I am drinking REALLY GOOD VODKA tonight.
