i've read hundreds of books and never wrote anything
I'm glad it's Thursday. Also, I watched the second season of SGA and um. I must be missing out on something? It's alright for comfort TV, but I can't get into it. Also, *ducks* I'm somehow oblivious to the chemistry between Sheppard and McKay.

BUT. I've finally started watching BSG and omg. That's some amazing television right there. Almost makes me want to forgive SciFi for canceling Farscape. Almost.

As far as reading goes, I'm actually reading very little fic. I seem to have become a little ADD in regard it, and if a story can't catch me within the first few sentences, I give up. However, I did read that new book on America's religious illiteracy, and I've been randomly giving the quiz from it (with some of my own questions added) to my students.

Me: Where was Jesus born?
Peanuts: Jerusalem.
Me: So it's, "O little town of Jerusalem?"

Me: Name a sacred Hindu text.
Peanuts: Harold and Kumar.

Me: In what country did Buddhism originate?
Peanuts: California.

Me: Buddhism's Four Noble Truths?
Peanuts: Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow you may die.

Me: Jainism's greatest contribution to the world?
Peanuts: Jane Austen.

Anyway. I'm also re-reading Judith Tarr's Avaryan Rising series. Because it's good fantasy. Even if Elian is a red-haired Mary Sue. And if you wade through it until the third book, The Fall of Princes, you get the m/m. HI. ESCAPSIM, ANYONE?

I'm also, as we speak, ordering a book on Allen Iverson. Just for fun.

Speaking of, here. Have, perhaps, the most compelling pic of AI ever in the history of ever. I want to write something about it. Something wistful and soft and melancholy. (I'll throw in some really, um, interesting Melo/Kobe pics for good measure.)



This is Kobe and Melo before the game.



This is Kobe getting handsy with Melo during the game.



This is Kobe, working it, after the game.



This is AI. He's pretty hot shit.



Sometimes, he just likes to hang out, bullshit around with Camby and Melo. Y'know. Whatever.



But sometimes, he shows you his softer side.



Which really only happens when he sees this.

(Okay, I posted that one before, but COME ON.)
