apocalypsosWhee! I figured out how to check my email through my cell phone! (Took me long enough.) Now, if I want to check LJ replies at work and not have the Glorified Optimist pounce on my back and yap like a rabid lap dog 'cause I'm using work computers to do it, I can.
*snerk* I'm such an unapologetic LJ addict.
So, you know, kill time with this post. Tell me something I don't know. Or, hey, do what they were doing on Ron and Fez last night and ask about some TV show, book, or movie that you remember bits of, but not the name of it. Hell, there's lots of people on my friends list. Somebody's got to know what it is.
Example: When I first got into reading romance novels, there was this one that I really liked that was about a witch who married a duke without actually telling him she as a witch. She was really bad at magic (not that it stopped her from doing it) and she had an aunt named Mary (which I only remember because in the end, the duke and the witch had a pile of kids and all of the girls were named some version of Mary). The duke had totally white hair, about halfway through the book he finds out he's got a mentally handicapped brother he never knew about, and every time the duke and the witch had sex, rose petals fell from the ceiling. Sheesh ... all this, and I still can't remember the writer or the title.

What was that book...
Date: 2004-08-25 11:59 am (UTC)2. sci fi, at least 10 years ago - covers two or three generations, as the world is slowly being poisoned. near the beginning, there's a country that poisons the african continent, only the poison seeps into the sea. later they come up with a ship that's supposed to repair the hole in the ozone by processing the water into oxygen - only is sucks in the poison from the africa fiasco and kills everyone on board. at the end, there are some people living in the arizona? desert in a missle silo complex, and the world has mutants that they go fight for food. in the end, earth is a ball of mud, there's a dramatic scene in a hotel with car sized spiders, and the rest of humanity is living on a space station.
3. 3-6 years old, historic romance - all I can remember is that it's about a woman who's a physician, (REALLY unusual for the time period), and she's tracking down a murder, and she pretends to be married to this rich guy with brothers. (or maybe he claims they're married?) hijinks ensue.
