In dealing with health stuff, I've perfected the art of lurking. Lurking is nice to do every once in a while. *lurks*
I haven't watched the season finales of...well, basically everything. Haven't seen Lost or 24 or haven't even watched anything past the first two episodes of S5 of Doctor Who.
However, I have been reading a lot. I blasted through all 11 books of the No. 1 Ladies' Detective Agency. :D They're, in a word, charming. And actually fairly different from the HBO series. I love them both though.
I've started reading Strong Poison again for talking_piffle. I do really love those Harriet books, but the judge droning on and on at the start of that book always makes me go cross-eyed. I always have wondered why the author chose to start that book that way. I suppose it does fill in all the backstory for the case, but it's... *flops*
but the judge droning on and on at the start of that book always makes me go cross-eyed.
I heard that! When I first read Strong Poison I thought I had to finish every book I started, but if I was reading it for the first time now I'm not sure I would finish.
Yay, glad to see you back! (yes, lurking is handy sometimes :-)
Reading is awesome - you should do as much of it as possible!
"the judge droning on and on at the start of that book always makes me go cross-eyed. I always have wondered why the author chose to start that book that way" To ensure that only the faithful readers persevered, of course.
Ooooh! I hope you like them! You just have to remember that the first 20-30 pages of Strong Poison isn't like the rest of the book. And fortunately there's a very cute Harriet/Peter scene shortly after the pain of the judge babbling.
I've missed you greatly. I really want to hear your thoughts on Lost when you watch it. Book fandom is my most active fannish activity right now. I read, buy books, post in e-mails groups, go to a book club etc. I love reading. I hope you are doing well.

Neither have I ... so just wanted to let you know you're not alone!
*hugs* I've seen you posting to doctor_rose_fix a few times, plus... elsewhere ... so I knew you weren't gone for good, but you have been missed. However, I understand going into lurker mode for awhile; I do that from time to time myself. Take all the time you need, hon.
I've missed you! Not that I'm the best at showing it, seeing as I've had this window open all week before getting around to responding. Think I've got... about 67 windows open in firefox right now? Not even exaggerating. Because I am totally not lurking if I fully intend to respond to at least the important things!
Haven't finished the Lost finale, I watched the first half while it aired and was too tired to stay awake for the rest... and can't watch the rest because we have 4 people and 1 tv, and they've all already seen it, and I don't want to just watch it on my laptop.
Anyhow. Hugs! Hope you start really feeling better soon, sweets.

You're better than me! I wander off and then all is lost.

Bummer! I've gotten distracted by other things now, like books and Dollhouse. :D

I've kind of rediscovered my love of reading. I used to be a huge reader, but kind of fell away from it.

BWAH!

I am so happy you are still alive. I was worried that maybe you had been kidnapped by, like, I dunno...Daleks or something.

Yay! You're alive!
I hope that your health issues improve, but lurking can be fun too. haha.
Let me also express my excitement by posting a silly Eurovision video. How awesome this video is = how awesome it is that you're back.

I need to pick up the books I need for
Homemade beef ribs and corn for dinner soon. YUM.
Yum. I wish I'd been at your house for dinner instead of my in-laws. Bleh. Dried out burgers and burnt hot dogs with undercooked potato salad. XP

And lol oh Strong Poison. What a way to start. I think it was Sayers' way of picking out the people who really want to read. XD
no subject
And I think you might be right. You have to really want it. XD

Not only do you have to be determined, you also have to be at least bilingual and some Latin would not hurt! XD

And I used babelfish a few times when reading Busman's Honeymoon with all the French.

I hope things are okay. *hugs*

I was thinking of you a few days a go, in a non stalkish way of course, when I found a pin with your user pic.

Lurking is understandable but it is more fun when you post with us. *STEALS YOU AWAY*
