clo_againOw. In conclusion; allergic to plasters (band-aids) or at least the type I have now. It looks like I've been bitten by a vampire. Possibly a vampire I was allergic to. Ouch.
Word count: Do. Not. Ask. Or I keel you all.
BUT. I do need a favour, if anyone feels like helping me out and has both time to waste and a copy of American Gods. I need to find all the references to "hidden Indians", ie. the magic-eye pictures of say, a vase of flowers (I think that's what was in the book) which looked at another way becomes a picture of people or something else, in AG "hidden Indians". I'm using it as my metaphor for the introduction because I hatehatehate introductions that go "In this essay/dissertation/meta, I will be blah blah blah". Only I can find the last reference (with Shadow in Whiskey Jack's trailer looking at the waterfall) but not the initial conversation or mention that I know has to be in there somewhere. I've re-read most of the damned book and I can't find it and I really want the damn quote. Anyone have an idea?
Or better, if anyone has a searchable e-text of it that'd be awesome. Awesome *beyond words*.
Back Starting to write now. Sigh. It's so not going to be done by Thursday.
edit: Oh my god I think the woman in Sea of Souls also played Fuschia in Gormenghast. Which I watched just a few days ago. That's not going to distract me at all.
I don't know, maybe it's not. Hm. Still distracting.
edit: It is her. And Sea of Souls was much better with the two 'sidekicks' as the Radio Times site put it. I also kinda wish they hadn't made it so outwardly supernatural or marvellous as I should be saying, now I've read all this stuff on fantasy. It was more fun when it wasn't explicit over if there actually was something going bump in the night or not.
