LightningRani Reads A Feast of Crows

Guess what just came in from the library?

As a reminder, I have watched the TV show. Not sure how that applies for this book, but if things happen, I might compare it to the TV show? Somehow?

Kat Watches Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Be aware that I'm a complete newbie to this franchise, so be careful with your spoilers please.

I've seen up to episode seven now, but I'm going to post all the thoughts I've written up from the start.

Ember Quill plays Dragon Age: Origins Awakening

Despite having played through the main campaign of DAO at least three times, and despite the fact that I've owned DAO for several years now, I have NEVER actually played Awakening. I actually bought it today. So I figured I might as well post my reactions here on Spoils.

I have played Origins, Dragon Age II, and most of the DLC for both games. So you can talk about pretty much anything as long as you don't spoil Awakening or Witch Hunt (which I'll be playing after finishing Awakening).

Kari watches Parenthood

I've missed this show!! Definitely going to do some binge-watching this week as I wait for Nephew #2 to make his appearance now that I've finished FNL and TWW for the week. Should be at least one episode tonight!

Taylor watches Supernatural

That title might be a lie. I hope to watch some Supernatural this week, but I have some Life Stuff going on, so I'm not sure if I'll have the time.

If I do watch some episodes, I'll be starting with 6x5

megotelek reads Chimes at Midnight

I totally forgot this was coming out today! And then I saw Seanan's open thread LJ post and got very excited! Because for various work-related reasons I have to fly to Rochester tomorrow morning and back on Friday and I can read it on the plane!

Ahem. Anyway...

Arachne reads The Last Unicorn

I read this book last over ten years ago. From that point of view, I'm going to be really weird about spoilers... which is to say, please don't spoil me for what happens. I honestly don't remember very much of the book after all this time.

I'm going to try to go it at a chapter a day, with my first post of thoughts and maybe analysis tomorrow evening.

PLAINTEXT SPOILERS BELOOOOOOWWWWWW

Wow, I just stopped by to pick up the TWW 3x13 download, and I didn't expect to already see the new post up. But since I'm here, I'm going to talk a little about 3x13 in the reply. I'll Rot 13 since it's so early, but once comments collapse, I wouldn't think we'd need to.

I made a new AMV! Again for Puella Magi Madoka Magica. It's very shippy :D

Window's Movie Maker screwed it up a little while saving though =/

Looks like there's an error on the Mark Reads site menu. I finally got a copy of Feed and wanted to see Mark's reaction to a particular passage, but clicking it only gave me "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below."

I managed a workaround without too many spoilers (V guvax V xarj gur pbzvppba bar orsber naljnl).

But it does make me curious about the "awesome banner" by Nanceoir...? Is there a way to view past banners?

Music thread, I guess?



This is the song that's currently captured me. The first time I heard it, I hated the the first minute and almost skipped it. That first minute gets recontextualized by the rest of the song, though, and subsequent listens make it all sound good. It's really quite a neat bit of trickery. And I do appreciate the lyrics.
