On Vacation

[ceitfianna]

I'm feeling wonderfully lazy and its so nice. The past two days have been full of lots of family and my nieces who are just growing up so fast. Today is about just being with my parents, doing the New York Times' Sunday Crossword and really whatever I want to.

I did my write up for my internship and I'm considering possible doing an EP or two in Milliways. Though I may not, chat is full of wonderful and fascinating people that I adore talking to and I have beautiful music on and powerful ac too.

There are things to do like shopping with my mother, but that can be fun. Also my sister is stopping down next week and I get to see erinmuse, who it has been far too long since we just hung out. Soon I will upload many photos but there's no rush.

I want to write about The Gaslight Dogs this week too, because it was a good book yet some parts of it weren't terribly satisfying. Now here are my results on that steampunk quiz that's going about.

Oh and since its been on my flist and I'm curious about it, the fannish top five meme.

Ask me my Fannish Top Fives. Any top five, I'll answer.

Your result for The Steampunk Style Test...

The Gadgeteer

25% Elegant, 52% Technological, 37% Historical, 28% Adventurous and 51% Playful!

You are the Gadgeteer, the embodiment of steampunk technology. Ironically, many of the things that most define your style are probably too large to easily carry about, but given the opportunity you would prefer to be seen surrounded by boiler engines, gear-driven calculators, and incredible automata. Of all the steampunk fashion styles, you place the greatest emphasis on technological accessories, and you are the most likely to create elaborate gadgets that are as much a part of your outfit as your clothes. You probably have goggles, but unlike most people you consider them to be for more than decoration. Whereas most people might look odd carrying a satchel of tools around, for you they may well be essential. Above all, you remind everyone that what sets the genre apart from Victoriana is simply the level of technology.

This answer just amuses me, because it seems like a wonderful description of Sameth.

Hmm... Let's see if I can give you different Top Fives than I gave bookelfe...

Top five places that you associate with specific characters.
Top five lesser-known quotable books/movies.

[ceitfianna]

The places are going to be all over the place and a mix of fictional and real.

1-Uberwald-Moist von Lipwig
2-Provence-Demeter
3-Sherwood Forest-Will Scarlett
4-Woods at Longacre Farm-Story of Will's hanging
5-Bell Dorm at Randolph-Macon Woman's College-fifth floor-Ron Weasley

These are the ones I wish more people knew.
1-Clutch of Constables by Ngaio Marsh, also any of her books, but that's my favorite.
2-Deep Secret by Diana Wynne Jones
3-Newsies, which is well known but still feels like its not.
4-Cadfael, books and series with Derek Jacobi
5-Stickmen, a brilliant Wellington heist movie that feels like Guy Ritchie but isn't.
