tomorrow, i'll be making an appearance at the Bigger Rd Veterinary Clinic, and then it's off to see V for Vendetta! wheeeeee!!!

installed a ton of new plugins for my Wordpress. still have to get Gravatars, Ultimate Tag Warrior, and In-Series installed. those 'uns are too heavy to lift at the moment.

Jackie Corley's manuscript for At the Slaughter is fantastic so far. everything that made the earlier drafts i've read so damn good, and more. when you see it in the bookstores, PICK IT UP. it's so heavy, and yet such a fun read. a wonderfully tragic story about a wonderfully tragic character. i'm only a little ways through, though. must read more tomorrow, and also figure out how to get networking fixed so i can print it out and read it at work.

have you read the comic? is it as good as it could be?

i have a feeling it's awful good. i've 'eard naught but good.

I've not read it, but Martin has. He was nitpicking after the movie-- which means he couldn't find anything BIG to complain about. It seems it is as good a comic book adaptation as one can hope to get these days.

I throughly enjoyed it.

wow, that WAS quite good. it definitely branched off from the book in some pretty fundamental ways, but i did think the spirit of the letter was preserved. very impressive piece of work! definitely the best comic adaptation i've ever seen, including the X-Men and Batman Begins films.

you should definitely pick up the graphic novel, it's just totally brilliant in every way. plus, it includes a terrifically fucked-up, mind-bending psychedelic scene at Larkhill, if i remember right.

It's been added to my "to-read" list. It's just that Martin read it when he borrowed it off our flatmate's ex-boy.

It's been returned. So unless we buy our own copy (unlikely, considering our poverty), I'm SOL for a while.
