Jack and Ianto 2
Bravo for the second series of books in the Torchwood line.
Read "The Twilight Streets" first. EXCELLENT. Ok, so maybe I'm partial cuz of the whole Jack/Ianto thing. But the return of Bilis is also an added "YEH!". The characterization was spot-on. And certainly a fun read. It was one of those 'can't put it down' books.

Also just finished up "Trace Memory". Another great book. Not much mention of the Jack/Ianto thing, but that's OK, the whole time travel story was very cool. Michael almost reminds me of Tommy from TtLM -- both brilliant characters.

So, should I go and get "Something in the Water"? Will it be as good as the two other books in this series?

I'm lost as to what to read next...

Haven't done a meme in a long time.
This one was threatened on me by [info]kingbantam.
I was force-fed the letter "M".

Feel free to play if you want to do so..

1. Reply to this post and I'll assign you a letter.

Jack
Had a Torchwood moment today. :P

Got my ass up at 5:30am to get to a 6am Boot Camp this morning.
Call it training since I'll have to lead a session one day.

Anyways, the Campers were told to sprint 400 meters.
I was given the stopwatch.
As they were getting set to run, the lead instructor said,
"Do you know how to work the stopwatch?"
I said, "Yeah, just push the button on top."

Laughed my ass off when I said that. :)

OK. I'll stop now. It's late. It's nearly midnight. I gotta get up at 5:30am again tomorrow.
27th-May-2008 10:51 pm - I'll Do Anything - Semi-final results
Jack
So, I just caught up to this week's results show.
All I have to say is: W.T.F.
Without giving away who got saved and who got kicked off: HOW CAN this ONE person still be in the competition!?
TWO judges (John and Denise) thought she was not Nancy.
I totally agree with them.

And yet...she lives on. And one who I thought could have been in the finals is out! *wah*

Shakes head in disbelief.
24th-May-2008 03:30 pm - Torchwood Series 2 Finale Even Upsets Hitler
Jack
Yes, rave-out clip has been used for everything from the Super Bowl to Hitler's car getting stolen.
It's still funny every time.

THIS one had me in tears. But everything said is sooo true.
RTD -- ARE YOU PAYING ATTENTION!?!?

RAVE-OUT HITLER! )
15th-May-2008 11:58 pm - The Office takes a page out of Torchwood
Gerry OMG
LMAO!
Anyone seen the season finale of "The Office" (US) tonight?
How about that last scene?
Oddly reminded me of that infamous scene from "Adrift".

Hehehehehhehhe...I howled. :)
*arrrrrrrrooooooooooooooooooo*
15th-May-2008 11:38 pm - Whipped
GerrWedgie
Maaaan. I am whipped. Seriously whipped.
Took a kickboxing class this morning, which was fine.
Then taught (subbed) a kickboxing class this evening. It was something about that class today that I had to bring up the intensity level. They killed me. But I made them sweat and hate me all the same.

Good thing was that people actually came up to me after class and asked if I taught anywhere else. Alas, no, sorry. Not kickboxing, but I do kick ass in my boot camp classes. :)
Heard positive comments from the manager of the club when I was leaving. People liked me! ME! They want me back! What's wrong with these people?! Why do you want this pain!? :)

Since I gotta sub for that same class next week. I think my goal would be to make someone throw up in class. *Sinister laughter*
