shadowkatTerribly bummed today. For numerous reasons that I won't bore people with. You could probably figure them out anyway if you've been reading my live journal. Besides after a while the details start to sound like a long incessant whine.
A brief R.I.P for Wonderfalls. I'm not surprised it was cancelled. Actually more or less saw it coming. But I do wish Fox had given it at least as much of a chance as they gave Arrested Development and Tru Calling. Hoping they will burn off the episodes in the summer. But not counting on it. Maybe Trio will pick it up for Brilliant But Cancelled??
Okay enuf depressing/ranty stuff - this is sort of a meme, but not really because my brain isn't operating at full speed this week and I keep blanking on questions or answers to them, which ahem is why I don't do memes. I get halfway through and blank...okay have no idea what to put there, guess I can't do this. So this is like all my memes, feel free to play and create your own variation. And you don't have to answer all the questions.
1. What article of clothing comforts you ?
Soft sweaters or sweatshirts. I have a cardigan sweater I've been loving lately.
2. What book or type of book comforts you? (you can list as many as you want or just a type if you've blanked on it)
Fantasy stories generally. I find Harry Potter and PG Wodehouse oddly comforting. Also the occassional
Janet Evonich novel.
3. What tv show or type of tv show? (can list as many as you want)
Buffy The Vampire Slayer for a while. Then it was briefly Joan of Arcadia (up until the last five episodes which have annoyed me). Fantasy shows usually. Dramas with a serial nature. ER used to.
[Procedural dramas like CSI and Law & Order depress me and stress me out for some reason.]
4. What types of movies or movies? (can list as many as you want)
Zero Effect. Grosse Pointe Blank. The Harry Potter movies.
5. What type of food and drink?
Pasta. Chocolate. Cookie Dough. Greek Meatballs. Apple Pie made by my mother. Stress-B Vitamin Water, Hot Tea, Hot Cider. A glass of smooth red wine, usually merlot or pinot noir.
6. Add your own category - music, poetry, whatever....
For me - music: Mozart, Aimee Mann, Sarah Mclachlan, Crash Test Dummies, The Cheiftans, and The Monkees.
But this changes all the time.
Need some book advice!!
Considering buying one of the following from Amazon:
1. Reading Lolita in Tehran
2. The Best of HP Lovecraft's Blood-Curdling Tales
3. Grave Deserts (?) by Jim Butcher
4. The Last Hot Spot by John M Ford
5. The Little Friend by Donna Tartt
6. Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman
7. The St. Germain books by Chelsea Quinn Yarbaro
Any other recs?
Which do you recommend? Have you read any of them? If so let me know what you think. Thanks, muchly.

Date: 2004-04-05 09:41 pm (UTC)Same as you! Anything soft and fuzzy does it, along with old T-shirts and sports pants.
2. What book or type of book comforts you? (you can list as many as you want or just a type if you've blanked on it)
Almost anything I read and loved as a kid is a comfort book -- LM Montgomery, Susan Cooper, Robin McKinley, stuff like that. YA books make me feel all nostalgic and happy.
3. What tv show or type of tv show? (can list as many as you want)
Buffy! Buffy is my comfort show, especially early Buffy. Later Buffy is my emotional catharsis of angstiness. Same with early and late Angel.
4. What types of movies or movies? (can list as many as you want)
Almost anything animated -- Chicken Run is the movie that cheers me up the fastest, along with Nightmare Before Christmas. Also, Moulin Rouge and Singin' in the Rain and Strictly Ballroom. I need to get Lilo and Stitch because I think that's going to be a comfort movie too.
5. What type of food and drink?
Chinese food, especially homestyle stuff like dumplings or rice porridge or a big bowl of noodles. That, and ice cream.
6. Music: Er. Me First and the Gimme Gimmes ^_^. And currently the Lilo and Stitch soundtrack because the Hawaiian stuff just sounds so happy.
Re books: Here's what I thought of Reading Lolita in Tehran. The only other one I've read is Neverwhere, which I love, but not as much as his other books.
