Apr. 15th, 2009 11:02 pm1. I think I'm turning into a zombie, except instead of brains, I want more Bujold. Is there fic? Please tell me there's fic. (I've gone through the Yuletide stuff already, and the epic Miles/Gregor thing.) So what I really want to know if there's more fic. Or more novels unindexed by wikipedia. Or something.
2. I have settled into a schedule where I re-read at least some of A Civil Campaign basically every day. (My single favorite line: "Do you know all those old folk tales where the count tries to get rid of his only daughter's unsuitable suitor by giving him three impossible tasks? Don't ever try that with Miles. Just...don't.")
3. What is the correct response to "we want to second-round interview you. give us your available times."? I mean, obvious, I give them my available times. But do I express gratitude? Excitement? Delight? Eagerness? None of the above? (My grasp on appropriate human emotion may be tenuous at times, but I'm pretty sure that my initial response of "oh man, this means I didn't ruin my chances when I boggled the last question" is not the one you give to the nice HR people.)
