The Reading Journal of RMS

And now it's time to talk about All Clear! It's been all I could think about over the weekend, and I finished it this afternoon. My thoughts on it behind the cut, while it's still fresh in my mind.

( Spoilers for All Clear )

I know several of you have read it -- what did you think?

I saw Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull last night.

( WARNING. Big honking spoilers behind this lj cut. )

And while I'm complaining, I don't like the new favicon that Google is using -- that super-serif'd lowercase g. The capital G was so much cleaner!

On the plus side, I love Jim Broadbent! I hope that someone makes a movie of Connie Willis's Doomsday Book or To Say Nothing of the Dog, just so he can play Mr. Dunworthy.

The very awesome starfishchick asked me a few questions, so here we go:

What is your favorite meal to prepare?

Right now it might be our killer cheese enchiladas, with Mexican rice and refried beans on the side. We've done it enough times that we've gotten fairly efficient, and it's fun to spend time together in the kitchen drinking beer and sauteing onions and frying tortillas and making chile gravy. I've even gotten quite good at assembling the enchiladas -- the right hand puts on the onion, the left hand the cheese, and then the right hand rolls it up and slides it into place on the pyrex dish, while the eeee! is frying the next tortilla. Yum yum yum. (I confess that the refried beans come from a can when we make this, because we're not completely insane.)

What's the best book you've read lately?

Oooh, this is hard because I haven't read much yet this year. Does it have to be something I read for the first time? Because I recently re-read Doomsday Book, by Connie Willis, and goddamn, that book is fantastic. It's cold and bleak and hopeful and warm all at the same time.

Describe your favourite tea!

My favorite tea right now is the Tazo Awake tea, which is filling and strong, but not bitter, and is fabulous with milk. I love curling up with a cup of it in the morning and reading LJ or Chicklit.
