bah! BAH I say, BAH!!!

Can't watch that Men Snoggage video at work on the sooper dooper broadband because it needs Flash 205.a.a.a.1.x.b version or something which we have not got. I'll try again downloading it on my dial up tonight.

Frustrating. Very.

Interesting debate here about the merits (or NOT) of Strange and Norrell. I don't think I'll be bothering with that one, in the foreseeable future. gehayi LOVES detailed and rich and if she finds it dull and unsatisfying and boring, I'll be asleep after five pages.

That being said, I'm reading "He Knew He Was Right" by Trollope which is about 800 pages long and I've read 250 and so far:

1. Wife receives dashing older man (friend of her family) with bad reputation for being a little too friendly with married women.

2. Husband dissaproves.

3. Disagreement and they seperate.

Er...

And that's it, just about. BUT. It is engaging and I will finish it, slow-paced or not. I am interested in what happens (if anything) but it does make me laugh, when I think of what happened in Standish and it was "only" 224 pages - I obviously just wasn't trying hard enough, was I? *Laughs*

I read two excerpts on line - one a section with Dawnlight who Norell orders to GET HIM A GLASS OF WATER (all very mystical... not...

And the first chapter which I thought AMAZINGLY dull. Just incredibly dull. Reptitive and illogical. I'll not be trying that until I'm very bored. Or bedridden.
