The tea must flow!

[icepixie]

I've somehow managed to quote Dune in my paper about Indian tea. Yeah, I don't get it either. I'm wondering if I should cite it or count it as common knowledge.

Sinus issues have abated somewhat thanks to drugs. Getting that extra hour last night helped. I might make it through a day without a nap today, although that's quite possibly due entirely to the massive cup of tea I had this morning.

We carved a pumpkin this afternoon. It's a happy vampire pumpkin. I'll post pictures at some point before Halloween. Theoretically. Everything besides this stupid paper is a bit iffy at the moment. (Three more pages!)

Yeah, that's about it for me. I'm very boring when I'm sick.

Quoting Dune, huh? Rock! Which quote? *g*

"The spice must flow!" Except, you know, with tea. And that might actually be from that horrible David Lynch movie version, not the book...

Heheheh, that's awesome. And I think it was in the book as well. (Especially as the quote sounds very familiar and I still haven't gotten round to seeing the Lynch version...which I've heard is bad-ish overall but does some bits well or interestingly. Or something. :?P)

The Lynch version is very...well, "David Lynch" is really the only adjective. I saw it before I read the book, and I definitely remember thinking, "there is no WAY this book can be any good." Luckily, I was wrong.

It's a hard book to adapt. I saw the SciFi mini before I read the book, and I loved it until pretty much the ending, and then I was like, "wtf?". I didn't understand why Paul put up with some of the things he did, I thought it was pretty chauvinistic... It took a couple of fans of the book explaining some things to me before I started to get it, and then I gave the book a try and loved it. After that, seeing the mini again, I adored it, but it didn't quite make sense of everything until I'd read.
