Am barely coherent, but...
Jun. 13th, 2007 10:41 pmSo lots and lots and LOTS more work and lots and lots of physiotherapy for stressed knee and stressed fingers; the latter to explain absence from LJ.
Have been reading good books, la creme de la creme of which is Diana Wynne Jones: Children's Literature and the Fantastic Tradition by Farah Mendlesohn. Wonderful book, intelligent in-depth analysis of DWJ's opus and a lovely witty style that makes reading it a positive pleasure. Am actually re-reading it because it's such a lovely book to read. Also love DWJ, of course, but I think even those who have a superficial knoweledge of her should read it. It says a lot about Fantasy and Sci-Fi and makes one want to read the books, a far from mean feat in a lit crit book, BTW.
As for the rest: it's hot almost everywhere I was forced to go, humid torrid jungle hot, a thing I don't like at all. Why is it that travel agency disaster NEVER happen in Iceland? *sigh*
I onther news I got SO pissed off at LJ - wanted to remove a 'friend' (hate that name) and required button has mysteriously disappeared from 'manage friends' page, so I ask LJ admin and - after much faffing and fapping - they demand to know the username of the 'friend' I want to remove. I am forced to give it and get my instructions in the form of a 'go to' page in MY FUCKING LJ MANAGE ACCOUNTS IN MY FUCKING ACCOUNT. I want to kill 'em all. *deep breath* So I made two mirror blogs at JournalFen and GreatestJournal as a prequel to abandoning LJ altogether.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
baeraad, I think I may be able to get you a free LJ at JournalFen if you want to have one. The way I feel right now I may not be on LJ much longer.
HUGZ to all and sorry for absence. Unavoidable, I fear. I hope the worst is past, because I'm really tired.
P.S. Oh, apparently G. R. R. Martin forbids fanfic about his Earth-shaking saga. Who'd have thunk it? He didn't seem to be like Ann Rice and the other stupidies...
