janie_tangerine1. Exam #2 done *phew* now if only I didn't have another three to go one of which in a week... but whatever, I'll manage.
2. Meanwhile I'm taking tomorrow off. And finally catching up with fic, I hope.
3. That said, you know why Steve Earle is one of the most awesome beings on this planet? Because while I'm sure that his sales in this country are nil (or at least not far from that since regularly you can find just his first record and a greatest hits), he still tours here. Two dates for the new tour! And one is in Rome, still low price venue, and one that you can actually reach without taking a taxi! I'm so there, fuck yes. How awesome can he be? ♥
4. Shitload of memes because I need to distract myself, lol. This one tagged by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

Using only song names from ONE ARTIST/BAND, cleverly answer these questions.Pass it on to 15 people whoever wants to. Try not to repeat a song title. It's a lot harder than you think.
Pick Your Artist:
Er. Uh. Difficult. Okay, I'll surprise you all and pick Warren Zevon.
Are you male or female?
A certain girl.
Describe yourself:
Looking for the next best thing.
How do you feel about yourself:
I'll sleep when I'm dead.
Describe where you currently live:
Transverse city.
If you could be anywhere, where would you be:
Your favorite form of transportation:
I need a truck.
Your best friend is:
Roland, the headless Thompson gunner (LOL, sorry, I couldn't resist).
Your favorite color is:
Ain't that pretty at all? (pink, of course)
What's the weather like:
Quite ugly one morning.
Favorite day:
The rest of the night.

Trouble waiting to happen.
What is the best advice you have to give:
Hit somebody! (LOL, sorry, too good again.)

Suzie lightening (I mean, it's the only woman name he has in a song title apart from Jeannie, but I'm already a sorta Jeannie).
Your favorite food is:
Raspberry beret.
Thought for the Day:
Stand in the fire (er, okay, this one was thrown there but I couldn't find a fun one).
5. Book meme fromwandersfound.
1) What author do you own the most books by?
Uh, Stephen King. How many exactly... uh. *stands up and goes to count* 30.
2) What book do you own the most copies of?
Er, I don't usually own more than one copy of one book. I guess the last three of the Dark Tower series since I have them in hardback and paperback.
3) What fictional character are you secretly in love with?
Secretly? Which doesn't mean Eddie Dean, right? Well, that one is barely a secret. Not going for the obvious ones I always say... uh. With the premise that I always get at least half a crush on one character if I read a book, I'll be a disgusting nerd and say Ivan from the Brothers Karamazov. It's more of I-don't-talk-about-it because I'm the only person I know who read that book, but I had it bad.
4) What book have you read more than any other?
The Diary of Anne Frank probably. My copy is so used up it's not even decent.
5) What was your favorite book when you were 10-years-old?
See point four. I think it was my favorite book until I was twelve or so.
6) What is the worst book you've read in the past year?
A book by an Italian writer which translated sounds like The Solitude of Prime Numbers or something. It one a very important award here and everyone was completely nuts about it, then I pick it up and... FSM, what crap. The story got old after three chapters and there wasn't a character I liked except for the protagonist's gay best friend who clearly didn't stand a chance.
7) What is the best book you've read in the past year?
If you count last year as June-from-last-year, The Amazing Adventures of Kavalier and Clay by Michael Chabon which is just every possible kind of awesome. This year... duh, probably Good Omens. Or Orwell's essays volume one. Or The Blind Assassin. Or Tropic of Cancer.
8) If you could tell everyone you know to read one book, what would it be?
1984. There's a lot of other stuff I could recommend but it's one of the handful of books I read in my life that completely made start to see the world in a whole other light and I'm very disappointed that in schools here you never get to study it. English or Italian, whatever.
9) What is the most difficult book you've ever read?
Uh, depends. I could say Moby Dick because it took me two years to read it but that was my fault for always stopping at one point and starting again, because when I really put my head into it I finished it in two weeks and it wasn't difficult at all and I loved it. Er, I don't know, probably the Brothers Karamazov. It's not stylistically difficult, but conceptually it's kind of a bitch when it wants to. Not that I didn't love it anyway.
10) Do you prefer the French or the Russians?
FRENCH. Sorry, nothing against the Russians and I like my Dostoevsky book each year, I like Puskin and I liked what Chekhov I read, but... DUMAS ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥, Stendhal, Baudelaire and so on? FRENCH all the way. Not to mention that French as a language slays me. It slays me.
11) Shakespeare, Milton or Chaucer?
Er. Shakespeare. -nod-
12) Austen Or Eliot?
I figure that it means George Eliot and not T.S. Eliot, right?
Well, I hate them both. I couldn't even finish The Mill On The Floss and I gave it up after 350 pages (and I think I threw it across the room at least twice) for how boring it was, but Jane Austen for me is evil. Because, sorry in advance to Austen fans who I think are a lot on my FL, she's insufferable. I can't stand one character in the three novels of hers I've read, my nonexistent feminist pride suddenly starts existing again whenever I think about Emma, she has that style which I know is supposed to be ironic and subtle but just gets on my nerves and I just wish I never spent most of my time when I did English literature in high school doing Jane Austen when there are a ton of more interesting people. Crap, my teacher used to make remarks about my Austen dislike, lol, and they weren't exactly nice. I can only agree with Mark Twain re Jane Austen.
13) What is the biggest or most embarrassing gap in your reading?
Er, I didn't read Tolstoy. I never attempted Proust, but I should. Or Thomas Mann or a lot of German authors I really should read.
14) What is your favorite novel?
1984 for the above reasons.
BUT, I need to mention The Three Musketeers. ♥ ♥
15) Play?
A Streetcar Named Desire.
16) Poem?
The Waste Land probably. Or if you want a shorter one, an Italian poem which translated would be Death will come and will have your eyes. Wait, it's the last on this page.
17) Essay?
Duh. Probably Why I Write by Orwell, or Shooting An Elephant, or Inside The Whale, or the one in defense of English food. Pick any Orwell and I'll be fine with it.
18) Short story?
Stephen King's The Body. Hell yes.
19) Non-fiction?
Er, oh crap, I read a lot of non-fiction. Is my collection of whatever is left of Epicurus' moral writings worth as non-fiction? Because uh, yes.
20) Graphic novel?
Watchmen, duh. Or the Sandman issues. Not that I read that many because they cost a freaking lot, but still.
21) Memoir?
Well, if you don't count Anne Frank because really, it wasn't even meant to be published, Before Night Falls by Reinaldo Arenas.
22) History?
Do they want historical fiction or non-fiction? Because while I usually am not one for stuff set in like, the Roman Empire, when I was fourteen or so I was completely into a series of books by I think Margaret Doody where there was Aristotles solving crimes in Athens and that's as far as I've gone. Non-fiction, probably a 600-hundred pages thing about the history of the United States which is probably the only one I actually own, too. My father is the one with the history books.
23) Mystery or noir?
If Sherlock Holmes counts, probably The Sign Of The Four. If not, Ten Little Indians.
24) Science fiction?
Slaughterhouse Five if you count it as sci-fi. Otherwise... The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, OF COURSE.
25) Who is your favorite writer?
Uh. Orwell, Dumas, King, Steinbeck, Forster, Stendhal, Chabon, and Emily Bronte. If I had to pick one on purely objective/stylistic reasons, I'd probably pick Steinbeck or Stendhal, but I'm not objective and I'm about plot too.
26) Who is the most overrated writer alive today?
Er, if I say Stephanie Meyer I'm not original, am I? Or Anne Rice maybe.
27) What are you reading right now?
Uh, er, photocopies re Kant, but that probably doesn't count. Dumas' The Queen Margot and the last Hornby, even if who knows when I'm finishing either.
6. Okay. Lost possible spoilers so I won't say anything and just send you where I saw that video and whatever, but if this REALLY happens next year I'm SO FORGIVING THEM A LOT OF CRAP. I don't really hope much for it, after all Ian is on Vampire Diaries, but if he says that there's a chance that he's back at least once... seriously. Please. I need it to happen. Even if it'd be better if he just moved on for good probably, but my problem isn't only that I like His Prettiness too much, the problem is that I-miss-my-favorite-fucking-character. *hopes*
7. Misha Collins' awesomeness is without-any-fucking-limit. And I don't think I've ever fangirled so badly someone as crazy, but that's just too good of a thing really. I mean. Maybe I shouldn't want to know how he actually did it, but I trust the shining force of his awesomeness.
8. I think I'm really done for now. I'll be answering comments and then I'll probably crash somewhere. *waves*
2. Meanwhile I'm taking tomorrow off. And finally catching up with fic, I hope.
3. That said, you know why Steve Earle is one of the most awesome beings on this planet?

no subject
Date: 2009-06-12 09:02 pm (UTC)And REALLY, it'd be SO good! As far as I know there are rumors for Dom, I don't know really about Maggie and Ian looks strange to me because he landed a new show on the CW but I figure he could guest star, so.. *crosses fingers*

Date: 2009-06-13 09:27 am (UTC)My Nick crush is helped by him looking like Rob Lowe in my head I think. I saw the film before I read the book, and I could never get my own faces instead of theirs. Although Stu's bald he looked like Gary Sinise in my head. Which isn't a bad thing but then you got Randall Flagg that looks like my Dad...
I have a more Roland crush then an Eddie but I ship Susannah and Eddie so badly it hurts!.
Oh, I love Before Night Falls by the way. I tried this meme but by end of it felt like someone who only read Heat magazine and biographies on celebrity chefs!
no subject
Date: 2009-06-13 09:35 am (UTC)I never saw the movie but I've seen the actors and Nick's looked good. Larry not really, and Stu = Gary Sinise indeed!
Ha, well, I'm totally on board with Roland too but Eddie is like, the fictional crush. I've been crushing on the guy for six years or so and it hasn't mellowed down a bit.

Date: 2009-06-13 12:46 am (UTC)1984! Yes!
Nnnngh, French slays me too. Baudelaire=♥, also.
Oh thank god someone else shares my eternal disdain for Jane Austen. I live in a household of three other females who are all ga-ga over her books (and the movies that were based off of said books), and I'm just like... really?! I've always found her characters to be so pretentious and boring, I don't understand how anyone could suffer through any of her novels without being either bored to death or just plain offended.
Omfg The Wasteland. Yes. Yesyesyes. The Hollow Men still sends me into epileptic fits every time. (Semi-related fact: I'm using the last few stanzas of Hollow Men as a blanket intro quote for one of my Cas/Dean stories. :D)
You are the first person who has ever agreed with me that Before Night Falls was all kinds of splendid. :)
Hitchhiker's Guide FTMFW.
I THINK IT LOVE YOU for naming both Meyer and Rice as overrated. I couldn't agree more. I pride myself on my determination to get through any book, no matter if I hate it or not, but I seriously just threw Twilight across the room before I finished it. Never went back either. Seriously, whoever finds me something that's actually original in that book/entire series - I will give them a million fucking dollars. BECAUSE IT'S NOT POSSIBLE BECAUSE THE BOOKS ARE HORRIBLE AND PREDICTABLE AND GAH. HATE. HAAAAATE.
*hops off my soapbox*
Oh Misha. How is he possible?
Also, why does no one else know who Warren Zevon is? I am bothered by this.
no subject
Date: 2009-06-13 09:00 am (UTC)1984 is just... gah. There's no limit to how good it is.
And YES, BAUDELAIRE! I think I'm more of a Verlaine girl but BAUDELAIRE YES, AND FRENCH. I ♥ French like woah.
YOU WIN. God, yes, finally someone else who dislikes Jane Austen too! I just can't get what the hell is so special about her. I just couldn't stomach her style or characters or anything and yeah, pretentious is exactly the word I was searching for. Apart from the fact that in the end the supposed independent heroine always falls at the hero's feet which seriously makes me roll my eyes, blah. And YES, YES, YES. Bored and offended is the perfect Jane Austen combination, lol.
(WHAT? I NEED TO READ THAT STORY!) I absolutely love Hollow Men. Actually I love Eliot tout court, but those two are just.. guh.
Before Night Falls is awesome! It's such a good book, I wish it was more known around.
HEEE, I COULDN'T EVEN TRY WITH TWILIGHT. I mean, I read excerpts online and such and I think I flipped it open at one library but her writing just hurts my feelings. I mean, fuck, I was better when I wrote fanfiction at sixteen years old, and I'm not one who prides much on her writing skills in comparison to published authors, lol. And Rice.. meh. I can't see the appeal. It might be that me and books about vampires never really clicked but Interview With A Vampire was one of the most boring things I read all my life, not to mention pretentious, too.
LOL, good question! But I guess he is possible since he exists, thankfully for us! Unless he's a fandom-induced hallucination, but that'd be too cruel of a reality.
Also, why does no one else know who Warren Zevon is? I am bothered by this.
Because the world has some wrong stuff in it, like no one knowing who WZ is and the guy not being a superstar of the Springsteen category when he was still around. *sniff* I ♥ Warren Zevon really.

Date: 2009-06-13 04:09 am (UTC)If Ian comes back, even for one episode, it would be a very very good thing!!!
Steinbeck is in my top three favorite authors of all time, granted sometimes he would introduce characters that really didn't add much to the story and take up a lot of the readers time, still, I ADORE HIM, my second favorite all time book is a Steinbeck book, actually I used to get into long debates with one of my friends over which is his best book as well.
Streetcar is my second favorite play...Cat on a Hot Tin Roof is my favorite--Williams is my favorite playwright.
Rice is highly overrated, after the Vampire Lestat she totally lost me.
no subject
Date: 2009-06-13 09:46 am (UTC)Word, sister, word. -nod-
I think I just have a few Kings lacking, but he also wrote a heap of stuff, so it makes sense that he'd be the one I own most books of.
Steinbeck is totally in my top three too. IDK why I didn't end up mentioning a specific book but I ♥ him like woah. My favorite is probably Grapes Of Wrath, as unoriginal as I am.
Aw, Cat On A Hot Tin Roof is great too!
Ha, she lost me after Interview With The Vampire, lol. I finished it and was so bored that I just couldn't see the appeal.

Also, THAT SPOILER!! *dies*

MISHA!!!! /outburst

Date: 2009-06-13 11:12 pm (UTC)wow, you know, looking at that book meme it makes me realize, ONCE AGAIN, how little I read of the classics or influential authors. I am not even sure I could give decent answers for most of those. but on the other hand, it's fascinating to see YOUR answers! I'm envious of your culture!!! :) (btw? Dumas FTW.)
OMG, Misha is OUT OF CONTROL, seriously! *laughs and laughs and laughs*

LOL, I mean, he's nuts. And what actually makes me even more amused is that when he was around at first I think no one suspected he could be as nuts as he is. Not that I mind, I love him also because he's just as crazy as the whole lot of us, lol.

Date: 2009-06-16 05:18 pm (UTC)You know, it's a long time since I read Brothers Karamazov, but I remember having a crush Ivan and Alexei. So you're not alone! That was a tough read. Is it bad to say those character crushes kept me going?
Oh, I loved the film of Before Night Falls. I should read the book. You get so much more from the novel. Whats Eating Gilbert Grape was always a favourite film of mine, but the book gives you so much more.
Wow, so many Orwell fans on my flist. Maybe I should reread 1984? It was so long ago. I can't even remember it very well.

And ha, I'd say give it a go! 1984 is excellent. And also the scariest book I probably read all my life but just because I can see so much of it around that when I read it first it seriously crept me out. But it's also the reason it's my favorite novel probably.

BTW, thanks for the His Prettiness spoiler! I hadn't heard that yet. Aww, an 815er reunion would be awesome, especially for us. But I'm really hoping the rumours are true about Dom being in Flash Forward.
