"The novel that inspired the TV series" - apparently, according to MiddleSon, the characters are different. I dunno - I haven't seen the series.
This book is - disappointing. The premise - that the world blacks out, millions die, and most people who don't die have a vision of the future - is good. The visions are true ones, can be collaborated, checked and include such wonders as flying cars. But (I betcha knew a but was coming) it fails in the execution. Mostly average, occasionally brilliant and sometimes dire, I would still recommend this.
Just don't expect too much.

So, I've been using my Typepad account instead of VOX, and whenever I come back over this way I have shit loads of spam comments to delete. Surely, VOX, if you delete a spam account, it should automatically delete all of the spam comments they've left as well?
And why is it if I delete a spam comment, it doesn't disappear from my recent comments box in my sidebar?
ANNOYING.
I was surfing Rolfrazzi.Com.

It was mad then. It still is.
One small world, folks.
One small world, one life each.
Why fuck it all up.

I just had a wrong number. For Elric.
What is the first thought that goes through your head?
Cos mine was Elric? Fuck! Will he have Stormbringer and call on the Dukes of Hell?
Not good on a Friday evening.
How about a bullet list? Cos I am seriously not up to much, but it has been soo long since I posted anything of note.
- When Husband said to Daughter OK, what is it you want to talk about, then? I think the properties of light and its structure were the last things he expected to hear. Open University course on physics has now been paid for (by Daughter), so we might get more of those sort of questions in the future.
- This has has been struck by plague. Eldest Son had three weeks off work, so of course he got flu halfway through his holiday, passing it on first to Daughter and then to Me. Husband was in Rome, networking in the computer world, and seems to have missed it. Middle Son and Youngest both got it very lightly indeed.
- Daughter has had her first Celebrity Sighting since starting a new job in Hampstead = Russell Brand and Katy Perry. Though when she rushed out the door to look, he was staring at it, so she was red faced and embarrassed. Apparently Hampstead has a LOT of celebrities.
- And French men selling onions and garlic from bicycles, though not with a beret or a striped jumper. darn.
- Fireworks make Heidi WOOF!
Spooky, A true Halloween tale.
