I think I shall do bullet points today. Or the equivalent of them, since I don't know how to make them on LJ.
- I've Loved You So Long is a good movie. Bring a tissue. I particularly liked the relationships in the sister's family--lots of love, affection and respect.
- Pushing Daisies has apparently been cancelled. That's sad but not unexpected. Possibly I brought this on by buying season one on DVD? *g*
- Did you know that Harlequin romances are still around? Huh. While mulling over the idea of a post about the draw of the powerful man/ordinary woman convention in romance media (because I clearly don't have enough things to do with my spare time?!), I decided to check the book section at Wal-Mart and there they were! The titles are just as cheesy as I remember from my teenage years when I would sneak them into my room from the library because my mother would've been appalled.
Title examples: The Sheikh's Rebellious Mistress. Bought: One Night, One Marriage. The Billionaire in Penthouse B. Aw, way back when it used to be just millionaires. Cost of inflation, I guess.
- Firefly fic rec. She'll Fly True by
ubiquirk. Zoe and River, post-movie. Go read this, it's fabulous!
- There's a new ten-second promo for season 4.5 of Battlestar Galactica.
( slightly spoilery personal reaction )
- Time for lunch! Food, whee! And then maybe some Thanksgiving/Christmas shopping.
