SF book meme

Gakked from

bastardsnow:

The most significant SF/F novels from 1953-2006 according to Time. Bold the ones you have read, strikethrough the ones you read and hated, italicize those you started but never finished and put a star next to the ones you love.

( Boy, I read a lot. Or at least I used to. )

Christmas list and cab cutting class

Snerk.

( I am a good girl! )

Also started my cabachon making class at the Gem & Mineral Society. When the first one is finished I'll post pictures. As I keep telling my customers at shows, "No, I don't cut and polish my own stones. If I had that capability I'd never leave the house!" It's very addictive and I'm Little Miss Perfectionist, so it's perfect for me. I've got to be careful, though, the muscle in my right hand between my thumb and forefinger is already sore. Took a double dose of Naproxyn so all should be well in the morning.

Books Read meme

Stolen from

Boy, I read a lot.

1. Bold those books you've read.
2. Italicise started-but-never-finished.
3. Add three of your own.
4. Post to your livejournal.

Most of the 'classics' were read in school. An amazing number were read before I graduated high school. Ahh, to have the uninterrupted time to read all of these again!

( Cut, because this thing is freakin' <I>huge</I> )

Meme and hand stuff

As gakked from nemo_gravis:

Which 10 (or less) movies/series would you visit? Why?

( Cut for the uninterested... )

Saw the doctor today about my wrist. I get to start a little bit of work as soon as I get my workroom back in shape. I'm also to pick through my brother's garage sale tool finds--I get to keep either the Dremel or the larger one for my workroom. (It helps to understand this if you know that my doctor is my brother.)

I still haven't posted about my Media West traveling adventures. I will in a day or so after I get done betaing for lillian78 and nemesis.

Guilty Pleasures meme

Got the idea from

rinani1, and thought I'd post it here.

Name Your Guilty Pleasures in Movies
Not your porn, you sickos! :-) Just those movies that when you're channel surfing and you see them, you always stop to watch, ones that make you smile even though you realize most of the planet thinks they're krep. You don't even have to own them. And you might not admit it if you did.

Mine, in no particular order, are:

10 Things I Hate About You
The Replacements
Minor League
Johnny Mnemonic
Nightbreed
Soldier
Swordfish (even though the Texas geography is wrong, wrong, wrong)
Swashbuckler
Any older Jackie Chan actionfest (pre-Hollywood, please)

Ones that could have been Guilty Pleasures but they get overshown on TNT, TBS, WGN, SCI-FI, etc:
Con Air
All the Jurassic Park movies (even the third one, which is such a rip off of Aliens I have no words)

Current Mood: bored

Current Music: Behind Door #1, Midnight Syndicate
