My childhood was shaped by music. I grew up on many, many, many different artists and bands. The Bee Gees were a huge part of that. When Mo died a few years ago, that saddened me, and now, with Robin gone, and only Barry left, I am both made sad and relieved. At least the twins are together again. It's still sad though.
But I'm also grateful that they were part of my childhood. I have so many good memories with their music.

I have never actually used the LJ "scrapbook" feature, but I figured a lot of you might (Spooky does), so I'm reposting this. Note that LJ could not be fucking bothered to offer an English translation of the Russian announcement:

Point of reference, this is IMO something I think is worth getting upset over, rather than silly design changes.

Alright, I am not drunk enough to deal with this, so I'm just going to put out this PSA:

I like musicals. Not every musical, but I do like them. I tried Smash on a whim when it started a few months ago and loved it.

So here's a list of what I love about it. ( Vague spoilers... )
So far I think I'm the only person I know watching this show (except
dawnintheforest! I knew I knew one person, heh.) and that's kind of nice. It's just me and the show.

Day 04 – Favorite book of your favorite series:
I've already said my four favorite books of the Gerald Morris Arthurian series in the previous entry.
The Enola Holmes and the Sookie Stackhouse series' all sort of run together. I enjoy every book and I have favorite moments in each book, but I don't have a specific favorite book.
As for ASOIAF, it would have to be A Storm of Swords. It's got several of my favorite moments of the series. Also, Jaime pov chapters FOR THE WIN.

Day 03 – Your favorite series.
1. The Enola Holmes Series - Nancy Springer.
A YA series concerning Sherlock Holmes's younger sister, Enola. I expected to like Nancy Springer's series about Robin Hood's daughter much more than this one, yet it turned out to be the other way around. The Rowan Hood books were not really my cup of tea at all, but I adore Enola Holmes. She's a great character and I say that as a twenty-something, despite the series being meant for 12-14 year-old-girls.
2. The Arthurian series - Gerald Morris
My favorite version of the Arthurian legend. The first I've across to inject humor into the stories, but kept the seriousness as well. My only problem is that since the series covers many different characters throughout the legends, my favorite characters (Terence, Gawaine, and Morgan) aren't in every book. However, whole series is enjoyable and the four books that are mainly about them are absolutely brilliant. And I would recommend reading all of them, because if you just read the last two you'd miss out on a lot of great characters.
Favorites.
The Squire's Tale,
The Squire, His Knight, and His Lady
The Squire's Quest
The Legend of the King
3. The Sookie Stackhouse series - Charlaine Harris
Simply put, I love them.
4. A Song of Ice and Fire - George R.R. Martin
HOW LONG TILL THE WINDS OF WINTER? HOW LONG?

Day 02 – A book that you’ve read more than 3 times.
Good Omens by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett. It's something of a comfort read at this point, which may sound odd regarding a book about the apocalypse, but there you go. It is comforting. I like to take it with me on airplanes, which explains why many of my memories of reading various bits are always connected to cramped, tiny seats and an endless stretch of sky.
I own several copies. A paperback I picked up somewhere. Another paperback my sister got in England, a hardback my mom found at a thrift store. They're all special.
