Drive-by post

• At one point last week, the temperature in Athens reached 48 degrees C. Venturing outside was way beyond 'oppressive heatwave' and entering 'hey, who left the oven door open' territory. And of course, as luck would have it, where would the worst of it be but where I live, officially the most densely populated place in Athens (and Europe!).

• So does anybody else watch Dexter? Because I downloaded season 1 this week and, um, wow. A slight fondness for Hopkin's portrayal of Lecter aside, I never thought I could be this fascinated by a serial killer, but it turns out, if anybody's performance can win me over, it's Michael C. Hall's. And as a bonus, he looks better in a form-fitting T-shirt than Athony Hopkins ever could. Inappropriate lusty thoughts aside though, this show is the best thing I've seen in a long EVER, which of course makes me fear the PTB completely fucking it up in season 2, and I think all Veronica Mars fans know what I'm talking about.

• I'll be unreachable until next Monday, since ioanna and me are taking a short break on the island of Samothraki. It's like the anti-tourist trap: population 3000 or so people and 100000 goats, plenty of waterfalls, ruins, and backpackers-and no Internet to be found anywhere I presume, so I hope LJ doesn't explode while I'm gone.

• Speaking of LJ exploding, the book release is getting nearer and nearer, and I don't even know how to feel about that. Is it the End of Days for fandom? Will half the HP websites shut down a week after it comes out? And, most importantly, what's IN the damn thing? Personally, I'm still clinging to a tiny hope for a Chainsaw Massacre-style conclusion.

48 degrees? Suddenly I'm kind of happy I'm not there.

aww, I read about the heatwave on the Dutch news and thought of you, I hope we get away with a nice summer here and nothing extreme like last year, heh who am I kidding, it's Iowa.

Don't watch Dexter, will probably netflix it. Michael C Hall does surprisingy nothing to me, it's fascinating. I didn't hate VM season 2, now don't get me started on season 3...

Have fun *waves*

I have no idea what will happen, I think the LOTR fandom is still alive and kicking, obviously with less strength but still. I won't be reading the book until I get the Dutch version, because I can't read English books for some weird ass reason. Really excited about the movie(little over a week, squeee* LOVE the Texas Chainsaw Massacre idea

Who would have thought I'd be calling 35 degrees cool! That weather was just bloody awful.

Have a fabulous time on holiday (does this mean you might tan?).

All I care about is Snape. She better not kill him off early.

And no double weddings please!

How hot was it when I was there? Cause that was pretty overwhelming, but I dunno if by Greek standards I was being a pussy or not! ;)

And, most importantly, what's IN the damn thing?

There have been some spoilers up, dunno how reputable they are, though. Wanna know?

Just wanted to make sure I was counted as a Dexter fan. Was that season great or what? Michael C. Hall rocks!

O____O at the weather. Fandom would continue to exist for me for as long as the few IDs I care about continue to pop up online from time to time ;-)

And to to slinkhard: Psst, if you see this, I want a piece of the spoiler pie, thanky!
