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!

It's just part of the culture.

I first heard about it on the Simpsons. Moe reads "My Friend Flicka" to sick children when he volunteers at the hospital. :-)

No, no, no. He reads "Little Women" to the homeless bums at the shelter.

And then he cries. And hopes no one finds out. :-)
