Um, Cic? Mists of Avalon is a stand-alone book... you don't need the rest of the series to understand what's going on therein. Hell, until you said that, I didn't know it was even part of a series... -hides behind monster- Don't let her hit me!!! :-P

If it weren't a "magical saga" I might agree with you....I always start at the first book if I know better. Oh well.
I got some decent books, but they don't seem as fun as this series. It's back to the usual over here. More of the same shit I buy every year because I can't help it. It's like buying the same album 5 times over the course of 14 years. Nothing new here, unless it's been so long that I read something different in it. If I start at the beginning treas, I'll let you know how it goes. ![]()

I love him...
I love him... I love him... He's driving me fucking crazy! Diz, being Action Cat and not having access to the rest of the house. That's all. |

IIRC the prequels to the Mists of Avalon were both not really necessary too, and not as good as, MoA. IMHO, YMMV, ETC.

Diz of the day story (aka - top this, because if you do it will make me laugh anyway)
I had a delivery of some cat essentials earlier this week. Not having an awful lot of storage space, and being sick as a pig besides, I put the box on top of Diz's new enclosed litter tray (working like a dream, he can dig to his heart's content) to be unpacked at my leisure. Now I did say cat essentials... but in order to get free delivery I did order two tubes of treats. Freeze dried chicken and freeze dried prawns. I bought these for the boys before they even moved in with me, and these days, the sound of the tube being shaken will bring Diz running and yowling if he is within a mile radius. So. I haven't been treating him (ill, see previously) but today I was up and about and trying to make my bedroom feel less like a sickroom. In the process, Diz got a couple of pieces of dried chicken. Sat on my bed, surfing the net - scramble, scramble. Diz, being into everything, has decided it's time he got in the cardboard box. Internet... internet... scramble, scramble. Diz being a greedy bugger has the whole tube in his mouth, and is trying to scrape the plastic lid off using the side of the box to good use. In the time it took me to disentangle myself from headphones and power cord, he has dropped the tube on the floor, followed suit and is scarfing up dried chicken so fast it's making him cough. I rescued what I could (most of it to be fair - he got about 6 pieces), made sure his water was well topped up and closed both tubes in a secure drawer. Teach me to be such a slattern. I'm not annoyed with him, in fact even as it was happening I both saw the humour and appreciated my boy's monkey skills. I'm just glad he had the lack of self control to do it in front of me. I did not need to come back from the bathroom to find him licking chicken powder out of the tube, only to sick it up on my bed in an hour. |

Come to London. I'll treat you to jellied eels.
And hot meat pies, saveloys and trotters, something you can talk about, something that will blow you out... Sorry, I came over all Pearly Queen then. |

Just got an e-mail memo that we're getting a trash inspection tomorrow at work. A guy from the city government is going to walk around and make sure we are throwing our trash away correctly. If not, my employer gets fined. It's two pages of instructions on how to recycle. Not a bad idea at all, but kind of lame that the first time I've seen detailed instruction on how recycling works in this building is the day before an inspector is going to show up.
Who ever heard of a trash inspection? Should I put porn mags in the recycling bins just for kicks? |
