Day 21 - Your favorite character entrance

Castiel's, hands down. That - him entering the barn with all the fireworks flashing and popping and with Dean and Bobby trying to kill him with everything they got - was really badass!

( The rest... )

Of books

* Two of my translations are out, John Meaney's "Bone Song" (Píseň kostí) and Patricia Biggs' "Crossed Bones" (Zkřížené hnáty). I picked up my copies today.

* I bought the whole "Lord of the Rings" trilogy through Aukro.cz, illustrated and for "just" CZK 525!

* I finally got my hands on Lynn Flewelling's "Glimpses", the collection of erotic stories set in her "Nightrunner" series. But first, I want to re-read "Luck in the Shadows"!

* On Tuesday, I finished the translation of R.A. Salvatore's "Sea of Swords". Tomorrow, I'll start translating Kim Harrison's "Every Which Way But Dead".

* My boss took Barb & J.C. Hendee's "Dhampir" series and Jim Hines' "Princesses" series off my hands. What a relief. 6 books of "Dhampir" were quite enough for me, thank you very much.

* One book I'm not looking forward to translating this year is Tom Lloyd's "The Ragged Man" - "The Twilight Reign" series is based on a great idea, unfortunately, the execution is quite poor.

* I brought NO new books for R&R'ing from the shop today, go me!

Watching due South

Easy Money: This was the first episode where I truly felt that RayK cared about Fraser. Before, it was all fun and banter, but in this episode, I actually felt Ray caring. First when Fraser hurt his hand, then when Fraser and his friend were taken hostage. Loved that. And Turnbull was hilarious as always.

A Likely Story: I actually thought that the woman was in on it. I was as surprised as Ray. I loved that, as much as Ray liked the woman, when he realized that she was probably playing him, he actually did his job and didn't go with his head against the wall.

Loved this exchange:

Ray: I don't know who has less sex, me or you, but at least I still think about women. Is that better or worse?
Fraser: Good question.

Odds: Beautiful music! They really used amazing music during both the poker games. And Fraser looked SHARP in that tuxedo, wow! *_* I loved how worried Ray was about Fraser falling for the wrong girl, first at the embassy, then in the bathroom at the police station. I LOL'd during this conversation:

Ray: Would you be so diplomatic if she wasn't such a beautiful woman?
Fraser: Certainly.
Ray: Awful thing is, I believe you.

I loved that Fraser let the woman think she was playing him when it was he who played her. And then Ray saved him, jumping through the skylight. And THEN they were playing poker at the station, loved that part. I loved many things about this episode, especially the fact that Fraser didn't let the woman turn his head, that - as much as he enjoyed her company - he remained indifferent to her charms. That was perfect! And so different from Ray's usual reactions to gorgeous women.

Awesome episode, one of the best!

Oh, and I loved this part:

Ray: So... you were bluffing.
Fraser: Evading.
Ray: Bluffing.
Fraser: Delaying.
Ray: Bluffing.
Fraser: Equivocating.
Ray: Bluffing.
Fraser: Bluffing.
Ray: Thank you.
