Printed out and read dialogue I wrote last week.

[hmpf]

Still like it.

Currently reading:

Neal Stephenson: Anathem (awesome)
Mark Z. Danielewski: House of Leaves (creepy)

Reading them in parallel because a) I want to make Anathem last longer and b) House of Leaves on its own would creep me out too badly.

Regarding the flat:

- Washing machine broken again
- Hot water access decidedly spotty

Re: what made me pick it up

Fair enough - I read it 'cause TV Tropes is evil ;)

Argh, I completely forgot about the Bowie thing! I'm SO sorry (and this is why I tell people they need to poke me repeatedly). I did find some useful tracks, I think off Space Oddity or possibly Hunky Dory (there's one song on whichever album that talks about going crazy, and then the next track seems to be about a nuclear war. Or it could be the other way round). WHATEVER. Will dig out the the albums again and stick them in the CD player (esp since I don't know what to listen to at the moment) and definitely try to email sometime soon. And I mean it this time.

That sounds awesome! And wow, Bowie really *does* fit Sam's life so well - even when Sam's not in canonland anymore! It's kinda weird, actually, isn't it?!

I don't remember, did I send you a version of the fic? Would you like a copy of what I've got so far? It might make the task of identifying fitting songs easier. Then again, if you just give me the titles of the songs you think might fit, I can easily do the rest of the research myself, and decide whether they fit the bill without having to spoil you even more than you've already been spoiled by my ramblings here. ;-)

Not that I'd mind sharing what I have at the moment; in fact, I'm practically dying to. (Hence the frequent rambling here.) But I do realise that it's probably a bad idea to send out an eight-tenths-finished story...

It is kind of weird, yeah. But awesome :) I thought that when I was listening and was all, "OMG, freaky!"

I think you did, but I would not mind reading a more recent version (if you didn't, I know I've got some MSN logs where we were talking about it and you copy-pasta'd some of it for me to look at). I don't mind being spoilt for it at all, because I'll still comment on the finished thing when it is done.
