The Tick and favourite books

[erilyn]

Last night, iibnf and edgehd showed me a number of episodes of the short-lived live action series of "The Tick". Fucking hilarious show, and so incredibly slashy. I need more *g*. And I swooned with jealousy over one of iibnf's purchases from her trip that I hadn't heard about.

Gacked from dream517. Pop fans, you must check out this short film, the adventures of Nsync marionette *g*. Hysterical and clever, and if anyone can save it (it's streamed) and share, I would love and worship you :)

You know, JC is still on the Aussie charts. He's #19 on the ARIA dance singles chart, has been in for 15 weeks, high point was #3. Why did they stop bothering with Schizophrenic, why? And I saw an official Justin calendar for sale when I was out shopping today.

ABC (public broadcaster here in Australia) held a big poll for what is Your Favourite Book? They got tens of thousands of responses (though the host joked on radio the other day that probably means about fifteen thousand *g*), and announced the top ten results on a live show this evening. I hope they put the top hundred up on their site here.
Australia's Top Ten Favourite Books
#10 - A Fortunate Life
#9 - The Da Vinci Code and Catch 22
#8 - Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy
#7 - 1984
#6 - Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
#5 - Cloudstreet
#4 - To Kill a Mockingbird
#3 - The Bible
#2 - Pride and Prejudice
#1 - Lord of the Rings

I've read all of them but A Fortunate Life, Cloudstreet and Catch-22 (which I tried to read in my teens but could not get into). Interesting that I haven't read either of the two Australian novels in the top 10. Ok, I haven't read all of the Bible, but I have read quite a bit of it.

It seemed a tad gauche to talk about it... but I had to brag. Such a nice pretty pretty...

I'm surprised to see A Fortunate Life on the top there, as I thought that was dreadful, and badly written. Most of the others I liked, though.

I've vaguely heard of it, but never read it (probably cause dad's never read it, and my chances of reading something like that are much higher if he had it).

Of course you had to show it off *g*. Pretty, oh so pretty...
