What have I to say?

Very little really. I feel snippy. Snip snip snippy. *rolls eyes at world*

Um. Our garden is being overtaken by spiders. HUGE MONSTER SPIDERS!!!1

I am rereading Microserfs for comfort reasons.

I wish to purchase cool little things I don't really need with money I don't currently have. Any suggestions?

Blah blah. I'm bored.

Entertain me with interesting links, facts or stories please. I command you!

ETA: *rolls eyes so far they're looking at the back of my head* Whoa. It's dark in here!

Yes indeed, I have read the complete works of AJ Hall, and very lovely they were too. Thanks, though. The mere though of them serves to lighten my heart, which is currently a little tired of fandom in general.

Although... I got some interesting post from the USA via Germany today Yay, cool! Please don't feel the need to make intellient comments on my behalf though, heheh!

I congratulate you on your arachnoid bravery.

I meant on my account. Bah! *gives up typing*

*blinks* I didn't even notice anything odd about that statement until I read the second comment. And I thought I'd sobered up....

So, anyway, American Gods, good book, yes? I'm in the middle of a reread at the moment (well, actually, it's possibly only the second time I've read it, or maybe the third, I forget - not the nth as it would be with Good Omens, f'r instance), which has possibly predisposed me to see aging deities where they might not have been intended.

(my current excuse for incoherence is tiredness after staying up faaar too late last night reading something very meta. and no alcohol at all. honest.)

Yeah, I really enjoyed American Gods. I didn't expect to, for some reason. It was the first Neil Gaiman book I read. It pushes a lot of my buttons, I think, and then there's the fun of spotting the Gods. I'm just fascinated with the idea of plucking bits of mythology out of the ether and twisting and moulding them into something new but strangely familiar. Heh, how's that for incoherence? Plus I'm in love with the thought of all these old gods hanging around driving taxis and stuff.

So what was this fabulously meta thing you stayed up reading? I used to read a lot of meta stuff, but now I often tend to lose concentration.

hmm, it was the one mirabile_dictu linked to, umm,

... Why is it, may I ask, that it is culturally cool and acceptable and not even mildly surprising for this photograph [of two members of the US women's Olympic Beach Volleyball team in horizontal full-body contact] to be so popular, and yet the idea that women like male/male slash is so shocking?

Not a particularly new topic, but it got a lot of replies, and I read... most of them, probably.
