Yep. I'm rereading Jules Verne's Mysterious Island, which is pretty good if a bit overdramatic at times. Typical Verne, I guess.

I also have a book that I just picked up, which is his continuation of the story of Swiss Family Robinson...hmmm...who woulda thought that Jules Verne would write fanfic? I may read that next, if I'm not all Verned out for awhile.

You can never get Verned out!--unless it's the Verne from Ernest Goes to Camp, maybe :) I reread my Vernes every few years. BTW, have you ever seen the movie version of Mysterious Island? I was thinking of that the other day because I'm writing a sf story about giant insects and there's a scene with some giant bees in there that gave me some ideas for that.

I didn't know there was a movie version of Mysterious Island. I know I saw a movie version of Around the World in 80 Days, and believe there were several done of 2000 Leagues... to say nothing of the part in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen.

Sigh... I am in anime heaven... have just watched several episodes of Ruruoni Kenshin. Definitely wonderful. Love it.

Are you the one who was telling me about burning dvds? I'd really like to give my little sister a set of these.

Oh, and I'm sick tonight so I have no guilt for vegging out and watching, oh, four hours of lovely anime.

And I'm spaced out on Nyquil, too! Yay for cold medicine, yay for anime, extra yays for kicking-butt-with-loads-of-style anime.

Er. Well. Um. I think I'm calling in sick tomorrow.
