Nothing much. (Seriously. Just pretend I'm not here.)

Read issue 16 of s8. And... The point where I squeed? When Xander referenced 'My Friend Flicka'. I sooooooo need to re-read that book! (I presume there's a film also? Not that I really want to watch it, I'm not really one for adaptations.) But my goodness that one made me all flaily - and terribly nostalgic! *meeps* 'Flicka' is Swedish for 'girl' btw, but in the book the name for a horse.

There were lots of other things too, I think. Sorry, have nothing much to say right now. Subjectively I like the art more, but everyone looks even *less* like themselves - and not even like their comic selves. *deep sigh* Oh and the Dawn thing is OLD! Stop it. [ETA: She's a little less annoying as a centaur, but I just want her human shaped & sized already. She's plenty interesting in and of herself imho!] Also much timey-wimey talk. Fun, but life is OMG busy, so no more thoughts!

Heh. I have the entire trilogy by Mary O Hara, and I think a film was made of "Thunderhead," too. I only know that because I read a book when I was a kid about famous movie horses, and was fascinated how they found horses that would really fight (i.e., engage in the epic stallion-battle) at the end of the book. PETA would likely have a field day with that idea now.

That was an interesting series with really vivid characters (both human and equine), part enjoyable cheese, part very adult. As a kid I remember being confused by and uncomfortable with the frank but subtle exploration of the parents' marital troubles in the second book, esp.

I just checked, and apparently all three books have been filmed. Now I'm feeling the urge to trot to Netflix.

My list of 'films I ought to watch' is looooooooooong... *deep sigh*

Wow. That's almost enough to make me go find it! I've only ever read the first book (I think... my mother has it, but I have a vague recollection of finding the others in the local library). Guess I ought to look them up.

That's a very good description! :)
