Dresden Files 'Death Masks' still good
I like the way the details don't be throwaways. Everything clicks together.

I also like the way the character from earlier who I think quoted Ethan Rayne turns up wearing a Buffy the Vampire Slayer t-shirt. That's amusing on several levels.

Also there's characters called Thomas and Dierdre, and an organisation named for St Giles.

nifty.



in other news today, I finished the chocolates.
next time I will buy one bar only. and that one small.

The main thing I learned from my first fandom is that there *is* fandom, made up of people, many many many of them. Much diversity of fans, for many shows, from many angles. And while there are big arguings, there are also big friendships, and finally finding people who know what you're on about most of the time, and also *care*.

Fandom is pretty cool.

Thinking about my first fandom lead me to thinking about how I am *so* not that person any more.
Which leads me to thinking that on the whole people don't tend to be, ten years later.

So I have decided that everyone should change their names every decade or so, like Immortals. It avoids confusion and lingering embarrassment.

*nods*



er, yes, I should probably get some sleep soon...
