  1. very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very repetitious.

    Except when it's _____________-

  2. ^ has seen it?

    < 4 submarines, 1 tender, two shore commands, 14 patrols, 2 shakedowns, instructor,leading petty officer, wharf supervisor, nuclear weapon handler, enough collateral duties to choke a horse, qualified to shoot a dozen weapons, and duty driver

    V has a resume with a smiley face on it

  3. Okay.

    I like Richard. He's almost a Marvel Comic Book Hero.

    He didn't want to be a were, didn't want to be leader of the pack, most of his actions he takes to protect others. He tries to turn his powers into something positive, to bring the pack into the 20th century, to tame the monster.

    Even his attempt to be the dick he thought Anita wanted was part of an attempt to maintain control so he could civilize his pack.

    Unfortunately, there are two problems for him.

    Deep down, he's not the realist Anita is. She has realized that we cannot change our nature. She's only beginning to really understand what her nature is, but she's facing it a lot more straightforward that Richard has since he became a were.

    Also Richard has not given up his childhood goals, morals or ideas of what a proper wife should be. Anita has recognized that the morals she was raised with don't quite apply to a necromancer succubus with more than honorary membership in four or five shapechanger clubs despite not changing. Richard is still hopinghe can get on top of this whole werewolf thing and 'back to his life.' Anita sees her former self as a former, not a goal.

    Aside from that, I hated Obsidian Butterfly. At the start, Anita paired with Edward, over the horizon and far from the two causingmost of her angst, confusion and heartache? It should have rocked. Death and the Executioner vs....well, vs. anything would have been a novel that would have been the first one made into a movie.

    Blood, death, explosions, mission-oriented conversations, undeath, final death, permanent death, ancient gods whimpering for their ancient mommies, Beowulf killing Grendel coming to look like kindergarten wrestling...

    But she brought her angst with her and found more. Bleah. Found the human side of Edward. Sheesh. That's one character i didn't want to see develop. Well, maybe a weapon upgrade...
