2. The Ladies No 1 Detective Agency by Alexander McColl Smith. Gentle crime fiction set in Botswana, though it's stretching a point to call it crimefic a lot of the time.
3. The Beatles Connection from the King's Singers. Because I am predictable, and everyone should hear "Money Can't Buy Me Love" performed as a madrigal.
4.
5. Food. There, that was easy.
Oh, you want specifics. How about Chicken Penang with boiled rice, with a lemon sorbet for dessert?
6. You're going to know all the good slash websites anyway. Unless perchance you haven't come across Cats of Different Colours (http://freedom.aeglos.org/phelis/) (Due South/Highlander slash crossover) before?
7. "Except when he's lying, Spike tells the truth."

2. "East of Eden" by John Steinbeck. Yeah, he focuses a lot on details and backgrounds but he paints a beautiful picture. And I love Cal.
3. The Futureheads' debut album. They're weird and their songs last about a minute and 15 seconds. My favorite song is "Robot."
4. angryxjohnnie. she's cool.
5. Taquitos! Or mole. Either with rice and flan for dessert.
6. I know you know: www.anipike.com
7. "Algae is brain food my good man."
"In that case, my brain is going to throw up."
no subject
2. a book: uh. Wicked is brilliant and I don't know if you've read it but if you haven't you should.
3. a musical artist, song, or album: The Decemberists and Athlete are both unbelievably awesome bands. Neutral Milk Hotel's "In the Aeroplane Over the Sea" is a seriously fabulous song. I've been listening to Hefner's "When the Angels Play Their Drum Machines" on repeat for two days, it is gold. And, um, just because I can't think of anything else... I've decided that "Karma Police" is the best song Radiohead has ever done and everyone, even people who've heard it nine billion times, need to listen to it at least once every day.
4. a LiveJournal user not on my friends list: We know most of the same people so this is hard. hmm. Okay,
5. what I should have for dinner: Beer and pixie sticks.
6. a website: songmeanings.net (http://www.songmeanings.net) because there's lyrics to songs and lots of hi-larious little people fighting about what they do or do not mean.
7. a quote: "I understand that Scissors can beat Paper, and I get how Rock can beat Scissors, but there's no fucking way Paper can beat Rock. Paper is supposed to magically wrap around Rock leaving it immobile? Why the hell can't Paper do this to Scissors? Screw Scissors, why can't paper do this to people? Why aren't sheets of college ruled notebook paper constantly suffocating students as they attempt to take notes in class? I'll tell you why, because Paper can't beat anybody -- Rock would tear that shit up in two seconds. When I play Rock/Paper/Scissors I always choose Rock. Then when somebody claims to have beaten me with their Paper I can punch them in the face with my already clenched fist and say, 'oh shit, I'm sorry I thought Paper would protect you, you asshole.'"
