Thank you, Peter S. Beagle's e-mail newsletter, for introducing me to stuffonmycat.com. It is incredibly amusing.

. . .I'm almost as amused by the actual newsletter, which is mostly stuff like, "Okay, who left a cake knife at my event?" and "Look at how cute my cat is!" bookended by actual news.

I thought Yoko and Taiki really were sort of the worst and the best of all possible shoku. Yoko is dragged in kicking and screaming and Taiki. . .actually pretty much chooses to go. ^^; Not to mention Yoko is fairly happy with life (if sort of wistful) in our world, and Taiki is miserable ( ... )

Opinions on translations are pretty strong at St. John's. :-P It is awesome. Once my greek class did a poll on it and it leaned slightly towards Lattimore for the Iliad, with a good contingent for Fitzgerald and Fagles and a couple votes for Lombardo.
Because I can't resist...I recommend Lattimore for the Iliad but Fitzgerald for the Odyssey. Lattimore's heavy verse really fits the war scenes in the Iliad while Fitzgerald's more poetic feel is nice for the Odyssey. But the Lattimore Odyssey is really good too...

All right, so I gotta ask: what character and moment in Wolvie?

Also, wow, perchance I shall now try and see Bolt. That does sound impressive.

^^ Kayla Silver Fox. I kind of just want a movie that's two hours of her and Wolverine living happily in Canada. The moment was the amazing bit with Stryker at the very end.

;p Tilde-copier!

You should see Bolt. It's amazingly well done, and I really wasn't expecting it to be.

Oh, I loved that moment too, yes indeed!
For a crappy movie, it sure did have a lot of good moments...just neglected to string them together properly in the second half...sigh!

Only a great writer can steal tilde-tasticness as adroitly as this! :P

And for the life of me, that man will always be "Reverend" Stryker in my mind...silly first impressions...

And P.S.? Robot in a trenchcoat and fedora can be nothing but awesome!

^Gratutious tilde. ;)

Hm. You know what movie I saw this week that was actually much better than Wolverine was?

Star Trek.

:P I know you're on the opposite side of that fence, but actually, you would really, really like it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Yes, but it shows a lack of creativity to steal so directly! Your tildes are lonely!

Actually, you'd really love Giant Robo as well. It's absolutely your type of thing. I'm only two episodes in, but so far, it's completely awesome.
