Today, I paid the utility bill and bought Dearly Devoted Dexter, one of the novels that inspired Dexter. I read a few pages of the original Dexter novel to be sure I'd like the style first. The prose is breathlessly arty in spots, but not so pretentious that I want to tear out a few pages and wipe my butt with them just to imbue them with a whiff of the common. I'm sure I'll comment on it here when I'm finished.

I've been nostalgic for LOTR fen and fic since I watched a bit of FOTR on TNT a few days ago, so I probably will write the Haldir/OFC Grey Havens fic that's been flitting coyly through the fathomless depths of my mythpool since TTT. I've been so nostalgic that I snagged an icon of some hot elf tottie, an icon which I will couple with this post. Mmm, Haldir. So nummy. He had the best battle wardrobe, too, but then, I've always been a sucker for deep, rich reds. If I do write the fic in question, it won't be long--ten chapters at best--because my Tolkien canon fu resembles that of a penguin who got slipped a fish roofie trying to do tai chi on a hot, greased griddle. You know, Mumbles with a head injury.

But that's for later. Right now, it's cookies and a new episode of NCIS
