flotsam and jetsam

And I learned the difference between those yesterday. *loves Q.I. with a passion*

The best English tea post I've seen on my flist- and believe me, many of my flisters are tea-aholics. This is just how tea needs to be treated. Yay, Orwell!

I'm very chuffed that Amos Lassen (yes yes, I know you've probably never heard of him, but he's a serial reviewer on Amazon) really loved Frost Fair and says he'll be checking out my other books! He calls it a "great read."

Weather is foul. This hoar frost which doesn't look it will be going away all day, freezing fog and dense grey cloud. No snow though.

I shall be tucking myself under a blanket this afternoon though, and enjoying series four of Angel!  Finally!  The TV in the UK stopped showing the show after series 3 for some reason, about six years ago or so and I've been stuck at the end of series 3 since then. I've been wading through the DVD's to rewatch everything up to now, and today series 4 disc 1 was delivered.  I can't wait!  Something new to watch - unexplored territory!

Book (Mere Mortals) is moving along. Saying nothing more right now in case I jinx it, but I'm on chapter two and i'm just beginning to enjoy myself. :)

I love Angel with all my heart...and season four is my absolute favorite season. I can't imagine how much it must suck to be stuck at the end of S3 for six years! I literally can't imagine a worst cliffhanger to be stuck at.

I feel strangely excited for you, like I'm getting the chance to see S4 all over again for the first time.

I was mildly disappointed he didn't stay submerged for a bit longer, but yay! for being out and yay! for hot, tortured Wesley! Not terribly impressed with yet another memory loss although I had to die laughing at Fred (super intelligent) who said "I think you might have amnesia"

Can't wait for the next disc!

Yes! God, I love hot, tortured Wesley. Love him. I mean, I love Wesley more than I probably should love a fictional person anyway (even now that it's been almost 5 years since the show ended) but he's particularly hot in S4.

I really liked Spin the Bottle. Angel being all scared and confused, Fred being a conspiracy minded stoner, and Wesley being a giant doofus. Even Cordelia was absolutely pitch-perfect. I think it was more effective than BtVS's Tabula Rasa. And I about died when Angel cheered on "the slave".
