It's A Feast of Stolen Goods Today (OK, that was a crazily obscure reference to one of our earliest posts...)

Continuing...

See title. Might as well do my own version of what Tora posted....'tis fun! Also 'stolen' but not from Alice's iPod.

 "Always assume you're being watched. That way, when people start shooting, there's no need to be alarmed."

"Life is always better with a soundtrack." (Actually, this is one of my own.)

"And shall I die - and this unconquered?" from 'Tamburlaine' by Christopher Marlowe - or my mate Kit, as I like to call him. (Have I mentioned how much I like the film Shakespeare in Love? Except Gwyneth Paltrow. I CANNOT STAND Gwyneth Paltrow most of the time. *shudder* Too much airy-fairy and not enough kick-ass. But I digress. She is all right in SiL. However, Joe Fiennes is simply unbelievable...in a very good way.)

"How do you come up with ideas?" - "By sheer perseverance to the point of madness." Charlie Chaplin. Highfives, Charlie! A perfect excuse to lock yourself in a room for eight hours trying to think of a path around writer's block.
"Anybody can make the holes. Only the Swiss can make the cheese." I don't have a clue who said this (except Joe Craig, whose website I found it on) or why they said it, but it can be interpreted in too many ways not to count for some kind of inspirational quote.

"Everybody lies." - Dr Gregory House, from House. What more can I say?

Quotes of the Day

I'll edit this when I hear more, I promise. It's just a nonsense-post-about-nothing-in-particular.

WHAT AM I SAYING?

Of course every post on this blog has a purpose. They're not just an excuse to rant and spout whatever is on ours minds. Not at all. No way.

Anyway, the quote(s).

Heard in a musical a few nights ago:

Guy in musical: <name censored> I never married Tiffany, in the end.

Girl in audience: I'LL MARRY YOU, <CENSORED>

*cue entire crowd in tears with laughter*

Random Lines

OK, Tora isn't here and I feel like doing something for the blog...(I will do more reviews soon...it seems that every other book blogger out there gets a ton of new releases, but I'm getting left behind...it makes me feel  deprived, knowing I will only read all these books months after everyone else has...I am halfway through two books, though, and I will try to do up a review of at least one of them sometime this week, or whenever I finish them.)

So, I'm going to take random lines from books I have here, or ones that I'm waiting for and have looked up online. I might turn it into a regular meme, I don't know yet. There are probably some memes like this on other blogs, but either they are slightly different/not classed as a meme but as part of a review/I haven't seen them, so for now I'm going to just say it's my own. Feel free to comment and correct me....


Beautiful Creatures, Kami Garcia & Margaret Stohl

(We should just go ahead and name this book of the week or something...)


"Sixteen moons, sixteen years
Sixteen of your deepest fears
Sixteen times you dreamed my tears
Falling, falling through the years . . ."


 (Part of a song....Page 6, if you're interested.)


                     


Oh, and until you're confident about your aim, you might not want to fly any Daniel-related messages my way. Dude behind you is famous on the football field for his interceptions. "

 (Arriane to Luce, in a note. Page 49.)



I was going to do more, but no time! Catch you all some other time....
