No. Catching up. I've seen the ads (it's on tonight here). He's not that goodlooking.
ETA: My programme's started. I might watch more later.

YOU REALLY DONT THINK SO!?!?!?!
God i'm in love with him! And if you watched White Collar you would understand why. So i got a beta reader who likes TAJ! Although they like TAJ more then FREAKs... oh well, i had a feeling that would happen. When i tell the plot of FREAKs people are like "Oh ok..." then when i tell TAJ people are amazed. Guess it will make a good breakthrough book/series though. Then maybe after that LotF can shine. Oh well i can wish!

Its cool, guess he's not for everyone, i still love him though.
And apparently he can sing too! I actually downloaded the song he sings, "Somebody i used to know". Not really because he was singing it but because i liked that version better then the original, and the song is soooooo relevant to my life right now.

I'll see how I go with the dude.
So Nick told me that his girlfriend dumped him for a nice guy, and that's important to his internal conflict. I'm confused. |

I'm trying to decide if I want to just go ahead and watch the new Glee or if I should wait and watch with my roommate.

Where is that quote about the book from, Tally? I didn't think any details about JK Rowling's new book had been released. (And I don't see her naming a character Barry.)

not that i know anything about J.K. Rowling, but just curious, why wouldn't she name a character Barry?

Um, because her iconic, insanely popular, generation-defining protagonist is called Harry?

So hows the airship fight/attack on a school going?
ETA: This might be a stupid question but is a Chronicle just another world interchangeable with series or not?

Maybe. I'd say it's a series of stories covering a world/characters out of order in some way (think Narnia).

I think of a chronicle as something like a saga - a series, but an epic, sweeping series.

Hum... that makes sense. Guess it depends on how i decide to write it then... I had debated each of the three books written in a different person's POV... Rose, Jack, then Aiden. Or Rose/Aiden, Jack/Sly, and Rose/Aiden again. Who knows.
I just though Civil War Chronicles sounded cool hehehe.

Quote:
I'm good. Hoping to finish up RBSL tonight then i guess ponder what the hell i'm going to do after that. Ever since I've finished TAJ, I've been kind of at a loss for what my game plan is, for the first time in my life. Maybe i'll just give up on writing for a little while and hope my right mind and confidence comes back to me. Its been a very frustrating, and confusing and depressing last few months for me.
