Bored.
Yes, finally, my first 'I'm bored' post of the summer. Mostly because everybody that I usually talk to is busy or not online or whatever, and I'm trying to save the two books I checked out for my massively long trip on Thursday and Friday.
So...book recs? Music recs? Fic recs? And any good old-and-thus-cheap-used game recs? I'm bringing the PSOne with me to North Carolina, and I probably won't have any internet access, so I'm not going to have much else to do - bringing FF8 and FF9, although FF8 is really only getting played because people have sworn to me that there is in fact something resembling plot later, and Squall develops more personality than a rock, although I'm skeptical, which is why I haven't touched it since last summer.

Book recs- Across the Nightingale Floor, Last Herald Mage, Game of Thrones...I'm going to start Howl's Moving Castle soon.
Have you played Castlevania: Lament of Innocence? I enjoyed it, and I usually hate adventure/RPG type games. Can't beat Puzzle Fighter, either.
OH! Do you read P.L. Nunn's stuff? Her original fic Dynasty of Ghosts would actually be in my top five novels if it was a published work. 45 chapters, great characters and story. She doesn't edit her stuff, so she has grammar and spelling issues occasionaly (like mixing "prey" and "pray" up), but she knows how top weave a story and turn a phrase. Her Saiyuki, Weiss, and Ronin Warriors fic is pretty good, too.
I'm not sure what other fandoms you like to recommend fic, though...you know just as much as I do about X/TB fandom...

No, I haven't, although I heard it was good - Adventure/RPG games are actually my favorite.
Will check it out - original fic is always appreciated ^^

you probably shouldn't play it until you've played a couple of other Castlevania games, most notably Symphony of the Night. The plot spoilers and and the story of the game just don't have that great of an impact if you're unfamiliar with the Castlevania storyline. It's not as cool unless you can fit the events of Lament of Innocence in with the rest of what we already know of Castlevania.
I have the ROMs for the GBA Castlevania games, Aria of Sorrow and Harmony of Dissonance. Let me know if you want them.
