godreamI hate Daylight Savings Time. It's still ten o'clock in MY universe.
Also ... I had something vital to follow that also with. At least, it was vital to me. Then I got distracted (oooh shiny) and can no longer remember what it was. I hate that too.
Finished watching Neverwhere, which I did not hate, except in the sense of "now I want more, how come it's over?" I couldn't persuade myself (and my sister) to stretch out the neatness a little longer. So: wicked cool, though I thought the scene near the end where Door opens the door and Islington, Croup and Vandemar go fwoosh (or possibly fwump) edged very near to outright silly. It's a lot easier to believe when reading it, I understand, which is probably why I bought the event in the book and found it quite difficult to take seriously when watching it.
My little sister's favorite character was the Marquis de Carabas. I liked him a lot, too. She was very upset when he died, and very happy when he came back, and positively ecstatic in the last scene -- "Coming?" The creepiest thing about Croup and Vandemar may very well have been the fluorescent light bulbs they kept carrying around. *shudders* I had such a tough time going back down to the (fluorescent lit) basement after that. Yes, I'm a wimp. I giggled at the frog thing, though, which I think might make me a pretty sick person. But it was funny!
