Recs of recs :))

I've been following people's recommendations, and I'm so glad I have! Here's what I've tried that I must give thumbs up to:

1) _lore got me intrigued to try Snowcake soap from LUSH. I'm not usually a fan of vanilla or almond scents, but maybe that's because I usually find them too cloying. This one is really subtle, and has this underlayer of spiciness ... like nutmeg ... that I really love. I find myself making excuses to take a shower just so I can use it. <g> But I don't know what lore's talking about when she says it's huge; it's teeny tiny, especially for the price. O.o

2) A couple of weeks back, lissannej was talking about the Cirque du Freak series. It sounded like something I might be interested in, but couldn't be sure until I'd tried it myself. I've now read the first three books and am on the fourth. :D I like the premise a lot, though it's nowhere near HP-caliber in terms of writing. It's a quick read, and those who enjoy the macabre won't be disappointed.

3) This one's not exactly new, but since I'm still in the midst of it, it must be mentioned. jade_okelani got me to try watching Gilmore Girls, which I was skeptical about. I'm really enjoying the show, though it's nothing but brain candy. In a good way. <3 I'm now in the midst of S4, which I have to say is so far kinda dull. Hopefully it'll pick up. My fave char I think is Sookie. <g>

4) I know romanticalgirl wants this bullet to be King Arthur. <g> Sorry dude, I still haven't watched it! I have to wait for Jade! But we all know she got me hooked on Veronica Mars and House, so there ya go.

That's all for now. Oh, I also read that seemingly guilty-pleasure book of Meg Cabot's, the latest teen one -- Avalon High? With all the King Arthur stuff? Yeah, can't recommend it. I had to force myself to finish it, and at the end I was like, blah. :(

seldon, when are you going to have reliable Internet access again?? We miss WoWing with you! Itsey and Bitsey need to hang with Daneel! Thraina's too busy trying to discover the identity of her real, red-headed father.

Yay!

Hahaha, I figured it was either you, or someone who really wanted to play WoW with us. :))

I totally understand re: the unreliable Internet connection -- the same thing happened to me while I was staying at my parents' house over the holidays. Occasionally I was able to hop on one of the neighbors' signals, but it was extremely flaky.

Definitely can't have you go missing in the middle of an instance, since theoretically you are our tank. O.o

Don't worry about it, we're pretty much immersed in ranking up our Hordies on Kilrogg (or in Amelia's case, lvling). I just wanted to check up on you and make sure you hadn't forgotten us. :D *hugs*
