Bought two books by Charlene Harris, as recced by
generalblossom, and am currently reading "To say nothing about the dog", which has too many dogs but also has cat, luckily, and is funny, not in the way I most like my funnies, but very funny still.
Started playing at the Clamp Campus RP community (bounces excitedly)
Failed to watch the Village today, as my friend had got the time for the seance wrong, but we shall try again tommorrow. Instead spent much of the afternoon discussing Mage the Ascension with Nicky, who's planning on GM it. Mage is my favourite RPG. It's so open, so adaptable, so based on interpretation. I just love discussing about it like no other games. Of course, I don't even GM it, at least, not on a regular basis. Strange how some visions are so perfect in your mind you are not able to reach for them in reality because you fear disapointement.
Watching France - Israel football makes my mother racist. Is a depressing thought.

But I'm of the opinion that if you must harbor racist thoughts, the least you can do is keep them to yourself. :/

About To Say Nothing of the Dog, oh, sorry about it not being quite in the funny-way you like best, I know about the humor which one admits is funny but can not quite touch it. It has some pretty cool ideas and plot stuff ( plus more cats, you will be glad to know) so do not put it aside yet, unless you are really loathing it ( ok, which i think you are not, but just in case). Oh and let me know what you think of Harris´ books when you finish them! I hope you like it, but keep in mind, I think the series gets better as it goes along.

Sorry ? Why sorry ? I liked it ! It's not the kind of humour that makes me laugh out loudly, that's all I meant. It was very good. Well plotted and well foreshadowed too - maybe too well, because I guessed most of the plot :p
And yes, the cats made me glad. I was horrified that they didn't exist anymore in the XXIth ^^
However, I have a big suspension of disbelief when it comes to people not having tested bringing back objects that were destroyed to he future. That's the first thing they would try to bring back if they discovered Time Travel, I mean, come on !
(okay, I had a huge suspension of disbelief about most things in her time travel metaphysics but that one's the biggest)

About football, you got to experience that talk ( and nope reality shows do not even came close), it exists, but it is also related to how unfair and dramatic football can be, which makes it an awful lot like life and one can apply a lot of the same aphorisms to football and life.
