1. My father is so sweet. He just sent me an e-mail saying he ordered HP7 and that he'll lend it to me when he'll get it. Should I tell him I'll probably buy the book somewhere at midnight the day it's released to read it during the night?

2. Recs on reccing and festing and feedbacking, yay! [livejournal.com profile] bronze_ribbons's 0.02 about participating to fest, [livejournal.com profile] valis2's Thinking about fest fic and [livejournal.com profile] queezulu's On How I Feedback Ficathons (which is a harsh but brillant model of how it ought to be done in an ideal world).

3. I am SO failing at following any kind of fest but Snupin_Santa, I'm trying really, but...!!!

4. The lattest Kon Satoshi (he of Perfect Blue, Millenium Actress and Tokyo Godfathers' fame) Paprika was a very fun and enjoyable movie, with the gorgeousest dreamscape since The Cell. The plot was slightly thin, but the goodness of the storytelling and characters well made up for it. I need to find the soundtrack for this movie ^_^

5. Am I the only person who doesn't like the Harry Dresden books? Granted I only read the first book, but the magic system was so utterly unoriginal and flavourless and the plot so predictable I don't get why so many people like it O_O (sorry, not to say that you people who like it have bad taste, just boggled. Obviously YMMV)

HP7, weee! Been out of LJ too much, is release date announced yet?

I just did nto like the first Harry Dresden book. Writing was so so-so and characters were not too complelling to me.

Yep, amazon is glad to take your order anytimee and stop you from ordering it some where else. And yes, incredibly sweet of your father :)

I doubt I will read more HD books. They were just you know soso. Hmm, lemme think of recs I can book push at you. I think the Attolia books by Megan Whalen Turner ( start with the Thief, nice read butyou need to start there to get the OMG emotional warfare of the nicest juiciest sort in The Queen of Attolia...)
