Name five fictional characters you'd have sex with, then tag five more people to do the meme.

1. Michael Garibaldi (Babylon 5 Season 1 or 2)- mainly because he seems the sort to make it fun. Plus cartoons are his second favorite things in the universe.

2. Tir Anasazi (Andromeda)

3. Mr. Darcy (Pride & Prejudice)

4. James Bond (either young Sean Connery or Pierce Brosnan)

5. Warren Lockridge (of the former Santa Barbara)

As for the tagging five people... 'eh, do it if you want. Several of you already have. ;)

Another one?

Well yes, work has little for me to do (at least until our bookkeeper gets here and gives me stuff).

So anyway, in the last day or so I picked up Summon the Keeper by Tanya Huff. I commented on it in a friend's journal- and that got my 'ooh, I should read!' going.

I really, really like this series, and I admire the humor that Ms. Huff is able to insert into the story without it becoming mere slapstick or stupid. Oh, and there is a talking cat named Austin- so how can you go wrong? It's little things like Claire and Dean sitting at a table, while she tries to explain what she it to him. He's sitting there spinning a butter knife on the table, he's uncomfortable. During an explanation on his part there's a small aside to the effect of 'he'd never actually heard a cat laugh before.' And a few sentences later Austin nearly falls off his chair. So... taken out of context it's not as funny- but given the scene as a whole- much funny.

Pluses- Austin, Keeper Claire, Portal to Hell in the furnace room- that talks to itself (which is where the hilarity comes from when one of my friends quotes 'Patience is a virtue!'), Dean and his Newfie speak, Austin, Jacques, Mrs. Abrams (and Baby), blue mice, baby sister Diana (true teenager with too much power) and a visit from aging Greek Gods. What's not to like?

Minuses- umm, I'll have to get back to you on that. Hmm... Oh, I know! There are only 3 books so far.

If you have not read them- and enjoy light hearted fantasy- GO GET THEM! You will be amused. (c'mon, the second book has an angel and a demon made into flesh and blood teenagers...)
