tout le reste ne m'importe pas

Happy things:

♣ Successfully fought off a minor job-hunt meltdown today! (I am considering starting a Me vs. Imposter Syndrome tally just so I can say TAKE THAT every time I kick its butt. >.>)

♣ Recent booklog! Obviously influenced by you guys. *g*
+ Jasmine and Stars: Reading More than Lolita in Tehran, Fatemeh Keshavarz: Finally hunted this down! dhobikikutti recced it to me a couple years back, I think, and it is indeed fabulous and smart (and has a very nice section that breaks down "New Orientalism").
+ Coming Out Under Fire, Allan Bérubé: Also found this on thingswithwings's rec, which was quite interesting and informative.
+ Ancillary Justice, Ann Leckie: Grabbed this on qian's mention; STILL SQUEAKING INCOHERENTLY. MULTIPLE IDENTITY(?) FORMERLY-A-SHIP PROTAG! Everything I did not know I wanted! ♥ ♥ ♥ *_____*
+ Maid Marian, Elsa Watson: Read in hopes that it would be better than Stephen Lawhead's Hood, because I was disappoint. Which it was, but I'm still looking for awesome Maid Marians!
+ These Old Shades, Georgette Heyer: Continuing my Heyer read-through (sparked by kate_nepveu's poll); this one was enjoyable, but not spectacularly so. I liked the cross-dressing, though!
+ One Piece v.2-4: As is frequently true, this one is inkstone's fault, though the sheer number of volumes is keeping me from blasting through ALL OF IT. Unlike Kuroko, which I inhaled at a truly ridiculous rate (and should really catch up on, sigh).

♣ I've uploaded In-Grid's Rendez-Vous album for littlebutfierce, but if anyone else happens to be interested, it is here. Some of it is quite tango-influenced, as you can see, but this remains my favorite song.
