New favorite places...
Monday, October 25, 2004My two new favorite places online are: www.jwwaterhouse.com , where you can view the fabulous work of John William Waterhouse online. There was a joke on Buffy that most people buy Gustav Klimt's The Kiss for their dorms, but Waterhouse's Lady of Shallot (the one with the sad looking chick on the boat) is certainly in the running. In fact, I'm looking at my copy, which I got run through the laminator at the library and so it's as nice as the day I plunked down nine dollars for it, right now... The other place I'm really digging is BBC 4, in particular, The Saturday Play. Now some of you fellow Gaimanmaniacs are nodding, because he's mentioned this place before, but I never really paid attention to it when he mentiond it, because anything like that is usually too much for my computer. But I heard some Alan Rickman radio plays a couple months back, and someone told me James D'Arcy was doing one on BBC 4, so I tuned in. And now I'm addicted. I hate audio books, but radio plays are different. Perhaps because there are sound effects, because people are acting and not reading, and you have more than one voice. The Woman in Black was particularly cool, because the script had the main character occasionally narrate his thoughts as if he was trying to write what he saw down. This week's The Blotting Book, which I've only heard part of so far. It's wonderful to sit back with a cup of tea and some crochet or cross stitch, and listen. Also, they're playing "Hitch hiker's Guide to the Galaxy" right now, the original, I think. OH. Finished typing in my book. Am sad that I had less words than I thought I'd written....and only eight weeks left of the year. (If I want the Holidays off) I'm thinking of partaking of Nanamowrimo solely on my blogger, openly admitting that I've already got 40 some words, and I'm striving to finish it off. Might be fun. :-) I know what I'm going to write, at least...I think this will be a very good book. At least I hope so. I'm wincing less than usual.
