Ghost Chapters 14 and 1

Okay, a few things today.

1. The pictures screwed up my whole Twilight MSTing and I accidentally posted before I was done and then I went back and edited and it wouldn't publish. So the MSTing itself got done, but there are intros for pictures that aren't there. Any place where it says something like (Twilight 6) that's supposed to be a picture, but they didn't work. So it's a little confusing. I'm sorry. I'm also really sorry the screencaps I took of Carlisle/Edward homoeroticism, Smeyer's cameo, the baseball uniforms, and the weird crouching didn't make it on.

2. I had to mercy kill my fish yesterday. I feel horrible.

3. I recommend the TV show "Daria."

And now, Ghost.

Chapter 14

Ha ha ha ha ha ha. It's kind of off-handedly mentioned that Mike also killed Osama bin Laden. You'd think something like that would warrant more than it happening off screen and then just kind of gets thrown into a speech, but whatever. I don't claim to understand Ringo.

"I'm Dr. Quinn." She looked at him for a moment and nodded. "Go ahead and get it out of your system, otherwise you'll be bothered until you do."

"Medicine woman?" Mike said, trying to grin.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. I love that.

"I'm not a victim. I fought to help all of us stay alive and I refuse to be called or characterized as a victim. I'm a fighter and a survivor. Ghost taught me that."

Come ON. Mike is HORRIBLE. I have NO IDEA why these girls all worship him.

He read them anyway and came away wondering just how traumatic it really was for the girls in the bunker. If this was what women read for fun . . . ?
Ha ha ha ha. You know what this makes me think of? "Fucking her ass. Saving her life." http://www.smartbitchestrashybooks.com/index.php/weblog/decadent_by_shayla_black/

"Honestly, you-know-who is probably going to run in '08 and she's got a good chance of winning. We both know that."
...Hillary Clinton?

Holy hell. Mike gets 25 mill for killing bin Laden. If that isn't wish fulfillment, I don't know what is. Plus five million for assisting in fighting the terrorists.

Uh oh. I don't like where this is going. Babe (the baseball girl) is mad because everyone's pointing and staring. Then a mysterious man comes up to her in the Starbucks. It's dun dun dun...MIKE!

Book Two: Thunder Island.
Chapter 1

He'd recently, though, been considering a developing lackanookie condition. He could fix that easy enough by a run up to Athens, but he'd started to think he might be using the girls, and that was the last thing he wanted to do. He hadn't been in contact with all of them, just a core of about twelve. And of those twelve, he'd only had sex with three. It had been healing for both sides. And with a few of the others, he'd just slept, and that had been healing, too.
You have no idea how dirty I feel right now.

So I guess this chapter is just...talking about how hard it is for Mike to get sex? I REALLY don't want to know.

"I'll wait in the bar," Mike replied, taking the flashy buzzy pager thing and dropping it in his pocket.
LOL. "Flasy buzzy pager thing." I guess Ringo was too busy putting his fantasies on paper to actually find out what those things were called.

OH NO OH NO OH NO OH NO. Mike meets two girls in the bar AND I TOTALLY KNOW WHERE THIS IS GOING AND I WISH I DIDN'T.

"You're young to retire," Pam said, leaning back and looking at him with real interest for the first time.
"Well, here's the thing. I single handedly saved a bunch of naked girls from being raped by terrorists and then I killed the president of Iraq (?) and Osama bin Laden and now I pretty much just fish all day."

WTF? So later Pam and her friend, Courtney, kind of invite themselves over to Mike and he goes on and on about safe calls and stuff and I just...I don't get Mike. Seriously.
