not really a review at all

Don't Look Down by Jennifer Crusie and Bob Mayer = WIN.

It is rollicking good time with Wonderwear, guns, explosions, alligators, and snark.

You icon - is that whosit who Wesley dated in Angel? If I'm right that explains why I thought I knoew her when I saw her as an insane nymphomaniac in something else.

Yep. That is Virginia (Brigid Brannagh/Conley-Walsh/whatever). I think she's *gorgeous*.

She is, yes. She pretty much looks like what I always wanted to look like when I had long curly red hair but unfortunately never did.

On the subject of gorgeous, Jack Davenport is on a program on one of the ITV channels this week, 'The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant' (I think) and he's in naval uniform again! I don't know if you have any UK friends who are technologically enhanced/abled enough to record and transmit it to you in a form you can use, but I thought I'd give you the heads up!

that looks brilliant!

it sounds a bit like Christopher Brookmyre (http://www.amazon.com/gp/search/ref=br_ss_hs/104-5779364-3731914?platform=gurupa&url=index%3Dblended&keywords=christopher+brookmyre&Go.x=10&Go.y=8&Go=Go). if you don't know him and you want to give him a go, i suggest either All fun and games till someone loses an eye (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0316725234/sr=8-1/qid=1144742910/ref=pd_bbs_1/104-5779364-3731914?%5Fencoding=UTF8) (about a housewife who becomes a hitman to save her son), or One fine day in the middle of the night (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0802139809/sr=8-6/qid=1144742910/ref=pd_bbs_6/104-5779364-3731914?%5Fencoding=UTF8) (about a school reunion on an oilrig attacked by mercenaries).

Both very funny, full of action but also written by pop culture freak with a good emotional side.



wow that was a big pimp right there. but i've been reading his books for a long time, and the pimping as become instinctive. ;)
