I got The Wolverine out of the library to watch - finally! I fully expect it to be awful (even though ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
ruuger said it wasn't too bad and better than the previous Wolverine solo movie which we shall never mention again because it's awful, right? (It does make me LOL that Marvel couldn't keep track of/didn't care enough about continuity for that film, if not the preceding X-films. I don't know how they're doing with First Class upwards because I haven't seen any of those). The last time I rewatched that one, I died inside. I can't believe I ever thought it was even OK).
So. Yeah.

OMFG. I was talking (sort of) tobooksyarntea about Laurell K Hamilton, and I started thinking about the LKH comm on LJ. Obviously, I stopped reading it when I stopped reading LJ altogether, which was nearly two years ago. I'm feeling awful today, so I went and looked it up to see if it's still being used. It is! And it's still glorious! I don't really miss any LJ comms (because some of them were just so huge I got overwhelmed/didn't feel like I was a part of it), but I do miss that one from time to time.
(I used to like her books, but then I got sick of the sex scenes (and Anita's SOOPER DOOPER SPECIALNESS) because there was more of them than there was of plot. And here's the sad thing: she can plot. She is capable of a good story. It's just a shame that she thinks that IKEA style, graphically described sex is more important. But apparently she's writing for herself, not people like me, so I should either suck it up (ew), or just not read them).
(That also said, I can't bring myself to get rid of the ones I own. I've got the entire run up to Cerulean Sins, I think, which is about where I said, "You know what, stuff this for a lark" and never read another one again apart from maybe skim reading Flirt which, horror of horrors, I didn't think was too bad at the start. Unless that was the one I actually read. I know I read one of the newer ones with the red covers that are supposed to make them look like Proper Literature. Whatever that is).
But please just let me say that, if you like her books, then that's fine by me (because it is, and I probably like stuff you hate for completely valid reasons. And we can't all like the same stuff because SHIT ON A STICK THAT WOULD BE BORING).
