How's about that weather? and Pimping a fandom

[sid]

I can't believe it.  I just took the dog for a nice walk, at night, in the first week of January, and I was wearing a cardigan over a t-shirt.  Our average high at this time of year is 30 degrees Fahrenheit.  If this is global warming I'll take it.

And just in case any of you are looking for a new fandom *g*, mandc_read is just getting underway.  Remember the Russell Crowe movie 'Master and Commander'?  Interested in the Napoleonic Wars?  Like sailors in tight pants?  Love slash?  *g*

We are reading Patrick O'Brian's 20 books featuring the exploits of Royal Navy Captain "Lucky" Jack Aubrey and his ship's surgeon/naturalist/spy (and particular friend) Doctor Stephen Maturin.  At one chapter a week, this community should be around for awhile.  ;-)

Quick!  Run to your library and check out "Master and Commander".  You'll figure out soon enough if you want to invest in your own copy.  Discussion of Chapter One will commence this weekend.

*Sigh* Jack and Stephen, I just love 'em, in the books and the film. A wonderfully realised relationship.
And just what is about the name *Jack* that makes me want to slash it???

Hee! My icons get confusing, what with Col./Gen. Jack O'Neill, Captain Jack Harkness, Captain Jack Aubrey, Agent Jack Bauer.

Yes, a marvellous relationship; so much love there.
