kascheWohoo! Been useless to the world at large for all of yesterday and all of today! Well, almost. Close enough, anyway. Yeeeah, it's those few days each month that make you contemplate the downside to being female. I'm sure several of you can relate. (Those of you who have painless periods? I don't want to talk to you just now. ;P) Woah, I hadn't had one this bad in months! Spent the vast majority of the days cuddled on the couch and watching Sex & the city reruns.
Well, at least I seem to be all right now - and just in time for Monday! How lucky I am. ;P
Anyway, it's time for some Dark Tower prattle now! I really haven't talked about it on here since the Drawing of the Three, have I? :O Well, I'm still loving it. ♥ With W&G I've been trying to pace myself, though. You know that "throwing self on audiobooks as if starved" thing? Wasn't working too well with The Wastelands already, I was fairly out of breath by the end of it. Still, LOVED it. ...even though if I heard "See you later, alligator" one more time I would have probably kind of screamed, but. ;P
Loved loved loved the bit with Eddie frying the train's brain. (...oh shut up.) I was getting ready to go out as I was hearing that, and people were waiting for me, and I just couldn't stop trying to find more things to do just to have an excuse to linger some more, and get to hear the end of the scene. ♥ In the end I had to drop it halfway through, but. It made coming back home that night all the sweeter. ;P
AND AND AND - still in W&G - when Eddie & Suze embrace again Jake & Roland? Could that scene be any more delicious? I was either drawing or writing at that point, because I'm sure I dropped everything I was doing just to awww in delight. Clasped hands and all.
(Which reminds me, when they're crossing the bridge to Lud and Eddie is suffering? The bit about if he needed something to look at, make it long tall and ugly, and then he looks at Roland? Oh how I loved him there. ♥)
Which, I suppose, makes it no surprise that I'm LOVING Cuthbert. Oh, that boy. <3 Annnnd after the scene at the Traveler's Rest - you know, the one with Roland having the drop on Jonas who had the drop on Alain who had the drop on Reynolds who had the drop on Cuthbert who had the drop on Depape... - when Alain slips the knife against Reynolds' throat? HAHA, SLASH ALERT. ...with Cuthbert, not with Reynolds.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jou has already promised to point me to some good fanfics once I'm finished with my homework the book! ♥
And... I had no idea whether Susan would be a character I'd like or not, honestly, before the flashback begun. But aw. At the point I am? Roland and Susan? Are pretty and sweet and cuddly like a couple of puppies. ♥♥♥
(It also break my heart knowing already that they are all going to die ._. DON'T WANT! But still. Aw.)
Also, new comic :P Actually, I did this when I was still at Do3. And I blame it on TOO MUCH PRATCHETT. (Except there's no such thing as "too much Pratchett". I miss my Discworld fix! <3 ) Because, you know, before him I'd never heard the expression - and now I can't hear the first half without thinking of the second.
(Drawing of the Three - Jake is in the Haunted House, trying to get back, but his key falls from his hand. The phrase in the last balloon? No, he never actually says that.)
...this is sad and unfunny and it still cracks me up each time I think of that line. Just like when the narrator does the "previously on this screen" recap at the beginning of each audiobook, and when he gets to Jake falling down saying "there are other worlds than theeeeese!" I imagine him saying "you bastaaaaard!", with the same tone, and I start gigglesnorting.
I AM SO SAD.
Oh! Of all the things I never should have found... <3 I think I'll start playing there and see if it is fun. ;P

Re: YOU BASTAAAAAAAAARRRRD~~~~ *falls*
on 2008-05-12 05:35 pm (UTC)...I still have to draw Oy at some point. Really.
UNTIL THEN. Cuthbert/Alain fics by an author that I like (but probably contain some spoilers for the end of Wizard and Glass):
AIMLESS
ALL IN THE HANDS
GOING FOR WATER
Ah, and a Roland/Eddie fic by the same author (non-spoilery, since it takes place in Drawing of the Three):
SLIP THE BORDER
.....You know, I really ought to make a fic recs post. I have a bunch saved up. :)
Re: YOU BASTAAAAAAAAARRRRD~~~~ *falls*
on 2008-05-13 03:42 pm (UTC)Hahaha! There's something in Oy that just asks for drawing, isn't there? ;D There's a scene in the Waste Lands that was just so PERFECT. <3333
YAAAAY THANKS! Saving the fics, but I will read them at a later date. I.e., once I'm finished with the book ;D Except for one THAT I SO CAN READ IT ALREADY. <33333
At the mention of rec list, I did not start looking like the stag in your icon. NOT AT ALL.
SO. MUCH. LOVE.
Re: YOU BASTAAAAAAAAARRRRD~~~~ *falls*
on 2008-05-13 04:36 pm (UTC)HA. I may have started a recs list already.... but had it set to private for my own nefarious purposes. I may yet make it public, however. ;) Also, I can't decided if I'm brassy enough to rec something I wrote on my other LJ. ;) Probably not. I may rec the comm that someone who is certainly not me started, though. Also that Liquor comm by someone who is certainly CERTAINLY not me.
And it is somewhat ridiculous that I have not drawn more Oy. I mean, come on. What's wrong with me?
Re: YOU BASTAAAAAAAAARRRRD~~~~ *falls*
on 2008-06-02 09:35 pm (UTC)Please unlock. Please. Or repost it. I'm starving here! Have pity of poor little me! ;D
Ooooooh poor sweet little Oy! The animal doesn't exist in real life, right? Right. ;P
GO THEN. THERE ARE OTHER FICS THAN THESE.
on 2008-06-03 04:22 am (UTC)Be warned, some contain spoilers for the end of the series!! Read at thy own risk!

...And no worries, no one understands the fic-lust better than ME.
