gogmagog: The Fourth Doctor from <i>Doctor Who</i> (I wanna crawl into a grave)
Man, I'm always sad when classes start and suddenly my nice, quiet Iowa City from over the summer turns into crazy, beer-soaked undergraduate hell...I feel like a crotchety old man, shaking my walker and being all YOU GOSHDURNED KIDS, GET OFF OF MY LAWN.

In other news, I've been reading the leaked bit of Stephenie Meyer's Midnight Sun (a retelling of Twilight from Edward's point of view). It actually is much better than the original, mostly because it spares us Bella's narration...you just see Bella from the outside, and she suddenly seems much more palatable than when she was our viewpoint character. The fact that that's the difference, however, does highlight how really unlikeable Bella is as a character, at least when you're inside her head. (Especially given that Edward is a creepy, emo, occasionally homicidal stalker and is STILL more likeable than Bella.)
