owlbeerI have nothing really to say of any real signifcance. The lack of job hunting and copious book reading continues unabated. P.D James mysteries are still are holding far too much sway in my life and I have rediscovered (again) my one true TV love, The West Wing.
I'm now regretting missing most of S5, even if it was complete crap. However, if John Wells made me stop caring about these characters, I would never forgive him. So much love. Need to get S3 DVDs because even though it is the weakest of Sorkin's seasons, there are still some great episodes in there.
I'm also trying to get through![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
nomadicwriter's epic (but very, very good) Further To Fly series. I got most of the way through it last time but got distracted. This time I will triumph. *cough*
I also found (through the wonders of Google) the personal website of the guy who does the Fables comic covers. James Jean. So, so pretty. He's also done some really nice Batgirl covers too. Guh. This icon was made from the Fables 33 cover. My personal favourite, at the moment.
And now, because it's been a while, some quizzes.
Sunny/Dark: 9/10
drY/Gross: 4/10
Traditional/Offbeat: 5/10
Active/Passive: 6/10
You are a DYT--Dark Dry Traditional. This makes you a Cynic.
You're a realist. You'll take the piss out of anything, and do it with style and a skinny gray tie. You find humor in the mundane. When the mundane is thousands of working class families watching their retirement savings get snarfed by unpunished white collar bandits, that REALLY gets the larfs.
You bring humor with you, and can flip over any situation to find the tender funny underbelly.
Incidentally, you're better equipped than anyone else to shake off the bad things happen to you. Mysterious lump? You've seen scarier lumps in your garlic cheesey grits. It seems like nothing makes you truly happy, but nothing really upsets you, either.
Your comic sensibility was more in tune with the eighties. But cross your fingers -- another coupla years of Bush and maybe we'll work up a nice Reagan-era national bitterness again. A sardonic orange cat will once again rule the newsprint, and Springsteen'll write more righteous Jersey retro-cock-rock anthems for the progressive pols of 2024 to cold gank. What's past is prologue!
You might like David Letterman, or maybe stay up to see if Conan has another "Pierre Bernard's Recliner of Rage."
Of the 2178 people who have taken this quiz, 10 % are this type.
Your Active humor score of 6/10 means you are ju-u-ust right. You're probably pretty popular -- a walking social lubricant. You know how to take someone from on edge to relaxed, and from relaxed to larfing. You're kind of like an episode of Arrested Development. That show is good. Anyway. Rave on, funny one.
I laughed when this came up, because it's so true. Things do upset me pretty easily though, although most of the time I don't really show it.
This was a really cool quiz though.
For the record I am a Gemini and I have always loved being a Gemini, because I think it is the star sign closest to me. This is interesting.
Warning: If you do take that test. It is not short.
Now I expected Hermione, I expected Remus, but maybe I hedged my bets on a few because Snape is far higher than I thought he would be. Ah well. Sirius is right where I expected. Love him but I am really not like him, at all.
I really should sleep. I'm not really that tired though. Far too much caffeine today obviously. Wow. How surprising.

You scored as Remus Lupin. Your alter ego is Remus Lupin. You are a wise and caring wizard and a good, loyal friend to boot. However sometimes in an effort to be liked by others you can let things slide by which ordinairly you would protest about.
