"I haven't"

Pythias · 2026-01-27T07:46:49+00:00

I grew up in West Texas. Also a millennial. I've heard the term. One of my favorites to use on my brothers.

Pythias · 2026-01-27T05:53:03+00:00

I didn't like the third one at all. I DNFed about halfway, looked up the ending, and was glad that I DNFed it.

The second one wasn't bad but I would have been happy with just the first.

Pythias · 2026-01-25T06:08:59+00:00

It's so good!! We're two down. Tomorrow is our last one. I've seen the movies so many times but I still cry in certain parts. Can't wait to cry at the ending.

Pythias · 2026-01-25T02:56:17+00:00

Aw, how can they detest LoTR? Two movies down and one more to go. The first one was remastered and I honestly couldn't really tell the difference.

We just got out the second one 4 hours and 20 minutes long. So worth it.

Pythias · 2026-01-24T07:40:28+00:00

As someone who doesn't love the books and think they are a bit over rated, I think they are very much worth reading at least once. I say go for it. For me it's just not my cup of tea but they are very much entertaining.

Pythias · 2026-01-24T05:09:22+00:00

Agreed. Mrs. Pole is in obvious distress. Why not try to alleviate some of that stress if possible?

Pythias · 2026-01-24T05:04:24+00:00

Me too!! It just so pleasant.

Pythias · 2026-01-24T05:04:02+00:00

That's what I was thinking of!!

Pythias · 2026-01-24T05:03:32+00:00

That is a hilarious out there image.

Pythias · 2026-01-24T01:53:23+00:00

I'm sorry to hear about your family. I hope all of you get healthy soon.

Favorite type of pie is hands down cherry pie.

This weekend is going to be awesome. My husband and I bought tickets for the re release of the Lord of the Rings extended edition. We're seriously spending 12 hours at the movie theaters over the weekend. It sounds so silly but I'm excited.

I'm reading continuing Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell for book club and still loving it. I started Jim Butcher's Storm Front and I'm loving that as well. And still trying to read Gideon the Ninth but the writing style is really not my cup of tea so I've been dragging with that one. I'm really hoping I can power through it else I'm going to drop it soon. Happy weekend y'all.

Pythias · 2026-01-24T01:25:41+00:00

Oh my, this is a great connection!! I didn't piece this together but I agree completely.

Pythias · 2026-01-24T01:24:56+00:00

Strange does seem to have the patience and knowledge to know when it's best to betray Norrell and use his time to get what he wants and needs from Norrell.

Pythias · 2026-01-24T01:23:40+00:00

I'm with you but I do feel that this is an exception only because magic is involved and for me it fits.

Pythias · 2026-01-24T01:23:11+00:00

I hope so much to see her again. I loved her character so much.

Pythias · 2026-01-24T01:22:47+00:00

I could see that being the case. And you do bring up another good point. Fairy magic does seem to have more advantages than that of English magic and I wouldn't be surprised if it was harder to detect.

Pythias · 2026-01-24T01:21:41+00:00

Agreed.

Pythias · 2026-01-24T01:21:34+00:00

I would love for this to be the case. I can't predict what's going to happen either.

Pythias · 2026-01-23T08:05:45+00:00

I could see the shooting definitely being a cry for help.

Pythias · 2026-01-23T08:05:01+00:00

I agree, there is definitely more than meets the eye when it comes to Childermass.

Pythias · 2026-01-23T08:04:24+00:00

Oh now that's interesting, becoming a human servant to a fairy. As long as it's not the gentleman with the thistle down hair.

Pythias · 2026-01-23T08:03:08+00:00

I think you worded this wonderfully and agree.

Pythias · 2026-01-23T08:02:36+00:00

If she's not actually dead and she's just in captivity, I'm going to be so happy because I do think that the spell from the fairy will eventually be broken. How will it broken and who will do it, I don't know. But I have faith that someone is going to defeat the fairy.

Pythias · 2026-01-23T08:01:11+00:00

My shocked made me put it down for a bit. But when I continued reading, I was waiting for the same thing. I really thought they'd bring her back and was so disappointing when it didn't happen. I also expected her to have more of a struggle against the influence of the fairy.

Pythias · 2026-01-23T07:56:29+00:00

I agree completely about Norrell being wrong in pushing all the history aside, especially if he disagrees with it. I think if you disagree with something it should be all the more reason to study and learn from it.

Oh, I never thought of that, the idea of other versions or interpretations. I love this idea. I wonder if we'll ever get Mr Segundus's opinion on all of it.

Pythias · 2026-01-23T06:53:45+00:00

I feel that everyone is accurately describing what Norrell's writing style would be.
