Love & Hate 14/11/2008

Things that Big Dumb Object has loved and hated this week:

Loved

Anathem. Finally finished it. Woah. Heavy (in more than one way).
Spaceships appearing out of hyperspace in The Clone Wars cartoon. Now you don't see it, now you do.
Making the shortlist for the BSFA 50th Anniversary short story competition!
My story Save Tomorrow With A Smiley being published in Big Pulp.
Kirill, which continues to intriguing and cool.
The Sarah Connor Chronicles which seems to be getting better and better.
Starting a new book, especially when it's a winner of The Arthur C. Clarke Award.

Hated

Spaceships falling "down" when crippled in The Clone Wars cartoon. Don't they know that in space there is no down?
Heroes. It's so, so, so rubbish now.
Rain and darkness, too much of it.
