^ It's my first, actually:) So I have all of the rest to read yet xD

^ Cool! :)
> Ah, nice. Yes, me, too ... she really made me feel like I was in a fantasy world with her writing. That's not saying a lot, but I can't describe it P: I had to take a break for half a day after reading the book because I felt like I was still half in that world:)
v *yawn* What have you been reading, El?

^ Wow, books? *gapes*
> Sounds great! :) Ah, I've been reading ... *checks back on list* Oh, I haven't been reading very fast lately, I'm afraid >.< I have a million books to read, but I'm getting through them at a snail's pace xD Maybe it would help if I read more and chatted less ;)

But, uh, Jessica Day Georges, Before Midnight, as you know ... At a friend's request I'm reading the Belgariad series by David Eddings.

I'm looking forward to making my to-read list somewhat smaller, and then going back to some Sherlock Holmes:)

v Last thing you drank?

^ Before Midnight: A Retelling of "Cinderella". Oh, actually, that was the last one I finished. I think I last read The Hobbit visual companion:) Absolutely stunningly awesome.
> Be back in a moment -- I want to check out something on iTunes, but my silly laptop hates iTunes for some reason, so I'll have to use my brothers ...

^ Your wish is my command ;)
> Yeah, I don't get "bored" as in, nothing to do, anymore ... I have a million things I could do ;) I just get "bored" as in, "I have so many things to do but I really can't be bothered doing them :P" bored xD
v Please tell me someone here has watched My Fair Lady ... ?

V Of course, I wish they'd kept the ending like the original play and not changed it to make it "happy," but hey, it doesn't matter. Fantastic and gorgeous film!


message 5167: by Elevetha (new)

Elevetha  | 11058 comments ^ I attempted to play TF2 last night.

I knew you wouldn't let me down, Eris!!! :) (I myself am a fan of happy endings ... er, I'm not good with less-than-happy ones xD ... but it is a bit sad that they changed it from the original play) I was going to message you to see if you had watched it :D
Just rewatched it the other day; it's definitely one of my favourites. *happy* I'm just so glad someone else has watched it! Finally! :D =D
> Jeremy Brett was awesome as Freddy. I'm just really sad they dubbed him :'( And Audrey Hepburn, for that matter *sigh*

> Yes, I have had fried bread, actually! It's very nice *licks lips* I am quite a fan of toasted cheese sandwiches, also (we have a proper toaster thingy that makes the edges all crispy ... :D) though having them more than twice in a row can make you sick of them.
