| Request: George drinking tea pic |
[ Friday December 04, 2009 ] |
Me and a friend were at the Hard Day's Night Hotel in Liverpool for a two day visit(we came back today,) and while we were exploring all 4 floors we came across this wonderful pic of George.
Unfortunately I couldn't get a snap of it close up cos we accidentally wandered into the Hari Bar...Which was holding a private function at the time, and were kindly told to leave XD
But I managed to get a screenshot from the website. I'd love to frame it so the bigger and higher res the better!:)
To the left here, I wish I'd managed to get a closer pic now.
( For legality a few pics from the hotel & Beatles museum! )

| Soulless (The Parasol Protectorate): An Alexia Tarabotti Novel, Book One by Gail Carriger |
[ Thursday December 03, 2009 ] |
 Alexia Tarabotti has a few things going wrong in her life: she’s a 26-year old spinster in Victorian England, is half Italian (with the skin, hair, and temperament to match), and she has no soul. Resigned to the first two, Alexia is resourceful: she helps BUR (Bureau of Unnatural Registry--a division of Her Majesty’s Civil Service) with supernatural phenomenon and they help her keep her preternatural (soulless) state a secret. Being a preternatural isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Carriger’s 19th century world is re-imagined with werewolves and vampires peppering society in the same way one might consider religion or politics: an emotional, opinionated topic of discussion and in some cases, an intrusion on morality. Alexia’s state is quite rare--preternaturals have the ability to revert vampires or werewolves to their human forms, temporarily rendering them “normal” and revoking their supernatural gifts with just a touch of the hand. And so, she’s valuable--very valuable.
She’s so valuable, she’s had not one, but two assassination and kidnapping attempts. It’s not easy hiding her soulless-ness from a nosy family with two very silly, highly ambitious sisters, but now Alexia’s in trouble. She turns to a cadre of friends and familiars (a Scottish Werewolf and a rather dandyish Vampire) to help discover who’s after her, what they want, and why suddenly lone vampires and werewolves are going missing.
( Read the rest! )

| Review: The Corpse in the Waxworks, by John Dickson Carr |
[ Wednesday December 02, 2009 ] |
#84: The Corpse in the Waxworks - John Dickson Carr:
A manservant led us into a dim hall, very spacious, panelled in black walnut. It was not shabby, but it needed an airing; it smelled of old wood, of dusty hangings, of brass-polish and waxed floors. Again I caught that scent of clothes and hair, as at the waxworks; but these, I could not help feeling, were the clothes and hair of dead people; and the walls, dark red satin above their panels, exhailed an indefinite reek of decay. We were ushered into a library at the back of the house.
At a mahogany table, on which burnt a shaded lamp, sat Colonel de Martel. At the rear of the room, above tall bookcases, there were diamond-paned windows of blue and white glass. You could see the silver rain thickening, and pale flickers of light were on the face of the woman who sat motionless, her hands clasped, in the shadow of the bookshelves. About them both was an atmosphere of stiff waiting, of tears that would never be shed, and of doom.
( Yes, doom. Squeaky, squeaky doom. )

Hello! I'm doing a Secret Santa type thing and I want to give my giftee a book, because I know he likes to read. Some info:
- he's 17
- I know he likes Naomi Novik's Temeraire series (we had a ~special bonding moment~ over it once a few weeks ago) and on his Facebook it says he also likes Eragon and the Dragonlance series.
So can any of you recommend a fantasy book/series for me to get for him? Obviously he likes dragons so that would totally be a plus. Thank you so much!

| Review: Wodehouse's Bestiary, by PG Wodehouse |
[ Wednesday December 02, 2009 ] |
# 83: Wodehouse's Bestiary by PG Wodehouse:
"Ladies, ladies!" I said. "Ladies, ladies, ladies!"
It was rash. Looking back, I can see that. One of the first lessons life teaches us is that on these occasions of back-chat between the delicately-nurtured a man should retire into the offing, curl up in a ball, and imitate the prudent tactics of the opossum, which, when danger is in the air, pretends to be dead, frequently going to the length of hanging out crepe and instructing its friends to stand round and say what a pity it all is. The only result of my dash at the soothing intervention was that the Pyke turned on me like a wounded leopardess.
Synopsis: A nice collection of animal-themed stories nearly guaranteed not to freak out those usually fruck out by animal-themed stories.
( It is so a word. )

I'm a regular at Cracked and today they posted this piece of awesomeness, and I figured this was as good a place as any to share it with some Beatles fans.

| Beatles on Record |
[ Tuesday December 01, 2009 ] |
A while ago, someone posted something about Beatles on Record showing on the History Channel. Being Canadian, I was throughly sad that History channel Canada was not showing it. I just thought it was another broadcasting failure on my country's part (there are a few).
But, fellow Canadian Beatle fans, do not be disheartened. My friend told me that it will be on CTV on Friday at 10! :) Hooray, Canadian television doesn't fail at airing American things anymore!
And for legality, a spam.
( Just something small )
