I have stared going back through and tagging all my book and movie posts for the years with 'books" and "movies" for maintenance purposes. Done with March...only 5 months to go...
Catsitting again this weekend from tonight through Sunday. Only thing I'm really taking to watch is the Last Exile anime, though I plan to unearth and watch their copy of Overboard while I'm there since I plan to watch Fantasy Couple next week, and it's based on Overboard.
I also watched the first two episodes of Last Exile before work. Not sure what I think of it, yet. On the one hand, it's very, very pretty, but I don't really have a good hold on the plot yet, and so far the main characters, Klaus and Lavi, don't really interest me. Actually, Lavi's energy seems really out of place in the series. So far the only character that's really jumped out at me(I only know Klaus and Lavi's names because they were both said 50-60 times...) is the dark haired ship captain, but I don't know yet if he's a good guy or a bad guy.
I also tried reading Terry Brooks's Genesis of Shanara: Armageddon this week but...uhm...he's tying Shanara into the Knight of the Word world, and I disliked the fir book of that when I tried reading it a while back. And, sadly, it wasn't very good the first 30 or so pages. Of course, since Shanara was my first fantasy series, and what got me reading fantasy (particularly Heritage, which remain one of my favorite fantasy series and Wren is one of my favorite heroines ever) I'm kinda stuck and will eventually have to read it as I'm sure I'll be expected to know it in future books...but why oh why couldn't it have been even half as good as grianne's series? Now that's a good series...
