GIP! (It's so pretty!)
Oct. 25th, 2005 01:38 amFandom High students took a field trip to the Plotting Zoo. And now there are pretty, pretty icons.
And now I have something to use for NaNo. :)
EDIT: Oh, did I mention I bought my brother more books today? Well, he hasn't said he's given up on the whole reading-books thing at his one job, and he looked enthused about them -- well, at least about Fight Club. (What? It's his favorite movie. I figured he'd at least give the book a chance that way.) I also bought him the first book in the Dresden Files series, which I can't recommend enough and which I really hope he gets hooked on. This way, he'll want to read the rest of the books, and then maybe he'll ask for more book series that are any good, and awaaaaaay I go with the book recommendations.
Next up ... Stephen King. Yeah, okay, it's not like I'm trying to feed Bryan high literature or anything, but honestly, he's a nineteen-year-old kid that I don't think I've ever seen read anything more complex than a gaming magazine simply for the enjoyment of it. So he reads those, and maybe he finds out he likes Chuck Palahniuk or Jim Butcher, and then it's on to Carrie, Cujo and Christine (he actually asked for "that one about the car"). After that ... erm, well, after that, I'm going to have to think on that, I guess.
