Mar. 22nd, 2006 11:02 pmYes. I get it. Tempe Brennan is an ex-alcoholic.
However. You don't need to state it in every frelling chapter of your book. (seriously, Deja Dead? Like clockwork, at least once a chapter) Your readers are, in fact (we are also smart enough to spell), smart enough to remember it. And possibly, don't actually CARE.
Like me. I don't care.
I'm 50 pages into Death du Jour. And I think, Hey, maybe there won't be a mention... And then, WHAMMO, on page 51? Brennan laments not being able to drink anymore.
Gee. Thanks, Mr. Sledgehammer.
*waves*
In other news, Bones was again glee tonight. The end was sappyish, but I loved the bit with Angela not having a thing to say, and not being her normal Mary Sue Knows How To Talk to People self. Yay.
Also? I am very glad tvBones is not bookBones. The episodes would consist of her saying, "I'm not an alcoholic anymore!" every ten minutes, calling her daughter every five, and... leaving logic far behind (oh, wait, they do that on tv, too) and running off to pretend she's a PI. (speaking of PIs, why can't we get a Kat Colorado series? Even just a mini would be nice. They could just do Stray Kat Waltz. Hrm. Damn. I'll have to library it.)
ALSO. omg. I got a call from my temp agency tonight, and she was all, "OMG they love you and you're doing a great job, yay!" so. Er. Yay. *pleased*
