Two Things

RPing went rather quiet today (not that I mind too much, it was rather busy yesterday), so I have two main things on my mind. Allow me to natter on to you about them.

Item the First: I've finished Soul Music. Again, great book. It took me a bit to warm up to Susan, but I think I'll look forward to seeing her again. Imp/Buddy and The Band and the Music were fantastic. I seriously felt swept away by the emotion at times. And the Wizards -- oh, the Wizards were HILARIOUS. I think it's official -- the Unseen University staff is my favorite group on the Disc. XD
I kind of want to discuss the role of the Music in the book, but that might be getting too spoilery, so I'll settle for saying I could never see it as evil. (Then again, maybe I just like it our version of it way too much.) Instead, I'll focus on this bit of awesome I learned from TV Tropes. Imp's name, Imp y Celyn, translates to "Bud of the Holly." After The Band starts to hit it big, he starts going by Buddy. I'm sure you can make the rest of the connection. BUT -- he also has a song, that he plays on both the harp (where it's a sweet masterpiece) and on his guitar (where it SWINGS). The song is called "Sioni Bod Da." "Bod Da" is apparently Welsh for "be good." And TV Tropes has the full English name as -- Johnny B. Goode.

BUDDY'S BIG ROCK NUMBER NEAR THE END WAS JOHNNY B. GOODE.

If you don't understand why that is one of the most awesome things ever for me (ranking up there with the awesome lightning strike Victor Tugelbend managed to summon in Moving Pictures), you obviously have no idea how big a BTTF fan I am. *squee*

And tomorrow, I start Interesting Times! RINCEWIND!
-Muses: Oh God-

( And now, me bitching )

Okay, time to get to bed at a decent hour for a change.
