If I had a desktop computer I would have such a good time making icons. I just came across a handful of Methos icons, which reminded me that I’d like to do a set of those sometime. There’s a whole pile of movies we’ve got that I’d like to do icons from. Hellboy. Maybe Dangerous Beauty. Highlander. Riddick. Chicago. Maybe Labyrinth. I could do a whole series of Pulp Film icons–The Shadow, The Phantom, The Rocketeer, even Sky Captain. And despite the fact that there are already a hundred thousand…

aw, damn.
I’d never seen a Paul Newman movie before this year*, and I think I commented here that when I watched Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, that although the opening scene was in sepia, when the camera came around for the first time so you could see Newman’s eyes, they were so arresting that I could have just sat there for ninety minutes gawking at that still frame.

So here’s where I need your help: anybody who wants to give me a favorite quote from one of my books (you can cite page and line if you think it’s spoilish, and I’ll do the rest), please post it in comments! No more than about 200 words, I think. Plz for to help! :) Man, we’re watching the original Die…

I just went and looked at the TBR list I posted in May. On May 9th, in fact. I had 35 books on that list. I took 3 off because I decided I wasn’t likely to read them, and I’m down to 13 now, though I also bought at least…seven books while traveling to and from San Diego, because I only brought 4 with me on the plane and I read them all before I left Newark (I read 6 books that day) so I needed more. I’ve read almost…
