Anthropomorphoriffic things

Oh, God.

Bookmarking and adding to friends list like right the hell now. Dude, I write DRD slash. I made a brief venture into printer porn. Of course I'm gonna be all over this. BWAH! Mars/Earth and Hurt/Comfort (no, really--hurt and comfort) romance fic! English/Latin breakup fic! Amongst other geekily-ficced things! Wheeeee!!! (tarzanic? I think you would really get a kick out of this.)

Got an e-mail from "The Norgolian Imperial Peace Federation" this morning. Realized it was from my Bio in Science Fiction professor and had a horrifying moment where I wondered if there was summer reading that had been delayed in getting to my e-mail account and I now had two days to do it. However, soon discovered that it was a link to the syllabus and book list. Whcih is excellent because I still have three days in which to trawl used bookstores here in Nashville and buy this stuff from a buck or two, instead of paying bookstore prices when I get to school, which tend to run about seven to twelve dollars for paperbacks, depending on which book it is. (Last year I paid $40 for one of those slightly larger paperbacks that have laminate on their covers. And we read all of four chapters out of it, which was even worse.)

Here's what we're reading this semester:

The Time Machine, by H. G. Wells
Galapagos, by Kurt Vonnegut
Red Mars, by Kim Stanley Robinson
Dune, by Frank Herbert
Jurassic Park, by Michael Crichton
A Door into Ocean, by Joan Slonczewski
Dawn, by Octavia Butler
Brain Plague, by Joan Slonczewski

Read Time Machine several years ago, but most of the others are on my "need to read some day," so woo-hoo!

This, by the way, is the class where the final project is webpage-related. Hee. *bounces*

Oh, and have I squeed about how I'm gonna have Pez people in this class (Whitney and Ellen) and in the Irish Lit class (Ellen and Chandra)? 'Cause if not, *squeeee*!

All I've had this morning was orange juice, BTW. I'm just insanely hyper at the moment, especially for it being before noon. Hee.

While some talk about books and others talk about the fic, I mention this:

I'm so proud of you, Becca. That's just a beautiful pun. But you should probably stop talking to me for your own sake or else the punning will just get worse.

Don't be too proud of me; I didn't make it up. I did recognize the pun for what it is very quickly, however. :)

Heh. Do I need a HarveyNick to go with my HarveyKate?

I actually didn't see the pun anywhere after I followed the link. I think you're just refusing to take credit.

Now that's just a silly question. Of course you do. Everyone does. HarveyNicks just make life more fun. Plus they were the original Harvey ripoff. They're classics. :)

Nope, that's the name of the community. I had nothing to do with making it up; I just linked to it.

*installs HarveyNick* I'm going to frighten the hell out of my roommate with all the voices in my head. Mwahahaha.

Fine, be that way. Stick to your story just because it's true. Sure. Be a party pooper and don't accept the praise that I'm trying to give you for the pun. Go right ahead. ::sigh::

Huh. I think that's the first voluntary HarveyNick installation I've seen. Strange.

Heh. How 'bout I accept your praise for this pun--the cat's new name is Catastrophe. Now if that's not a bad pun...

Huh. I think that's the first voluntary HarveyNick installation I've seen. Strange.

And see what it made me do? My cat's name is a pun. And a bad one at that.

I'm giving you a standing ovation for that one. Well done.

But as bad puns go, that's a great one. HarveyNick does his job well.
