some cool things

[fahye]

1) elsewhere_kels has recorded Quickening Days as a podbook, complete with cover! I haven't listened to all of it yet, but it's exciting to hear my own story in this form, and she reads very well.

2) I don't know if 'cool' is quite the right word for it, but this is one of the best and clearest pieces of writing on rape that I've seen in a long time. (Linked by Tris on GR.)

3) I have ordered the Toronto Notes. STUDYING WILL OCCUR.

4) I am watching Band of Brothers for the first time ever. I keep having to turn the volume down so that my roommate is not startled by explosions.

I too am watching Band of Brothers for the first time ever! I just finished the fourth episode and am starting to have a vague idea who some of the characters are! It's awesome!

I am amused at the sheer number of British actors I recognise. What with everyone speaking in American accents. Well, Jamie Bamber just showed up and at least I am USED to him having an American accent.

I was so confused when James McAvoy showed up. "That's not . . . really? No, Becca, you are probably just going crazy!" But I was not!

I know! And the credits told me that Dominic Cooper was in an early episode, but I have NO IDEA WHERE.

. . . man, now I want to go on a Dominic Cooper scavenger hunt.

I am trying to get used to spotting individuals in a FIELD OF SOLDIERS because my friend's brother has a small role in The Pacific and when it comes out, I plan to be able to jab my finger instantly at the screen and scream THERE THERE THERE.

Band of Brothers is the best practice for that.
