A Very Special Spoiler Message
Shazam! Here We Go Again!
SPOILER ALERT: Dinna read unless you have reached 4% in Written in My Own Heart's Blood! (Still canna believe I actually have it. It's like a dream.)
Before I talk MOBY, let me just say that I am not rushing through this book. If I had any guts at all, I'd be like MOP bud, Tonya and wait until a few months before Book 9 comes out to read MOBY. It is beyond enthralling to know you have unread Gabaldon at the ready. But...alas...my will power is in the toilet...and I was sneakily peeking at 3AM the morning the book came out.
Soooo...that's why I'm only at 4%. (Well that and the cray cray last two weeks of last-weeks-of-school mom hell I'm living this week and next.)
Let's go over a few points about what I've already read, shall we?
1 - TURTLE EFFING SOUP, PEOPLE!!!! Could Diana have given us a better gift this early in the story than reminding us of Claire feverishly biting the berth? No, no she could NOT! (jumps up and down and claps hands) It was 3 AM and there it was, jumping off the page like manna from the heavens. And for that I'm truly grateful.
2 - Here's me - in tears - at 3AM on Tues - reading about Jamie tapping the tune of the lone ranger on the door. THAT - alone - was worth 4 years, if you're truly a Jamie Fraserphile such as myself.
3 - LIBERTY CAPS!!! Do we not swoon over Abraham Woodhull (Jamie Bell) in his liberty cap on Turn every Sunday?! Love that!!
4 - Jethro Woodbine. There is a "Woodbine" avenue in Philadelphia. Just had to point that out. Miss Erin (MOP Chat Frequent Flyer) will giggle when she sees this.
5 - "he was weeping savagely, tears running down his own face, and his wet, half-hard cock flopping out of his breeches." This. THIS is why I love William. He's such a conundrum. He's so perfect on the outside while being vulnerable (and downright clueless sometimes) on the inside. He's like a wide-eyed child, trying so hard to be important...but the harder he tries, the sillier he appears. It's impossible for me not to find him completely endearing, no matter what attitude he's spewing or sticky situation he's gotten himself into on any given day.
(Just realized how the above quote would look to someone who has never read the book. I swear, it's not porn! Read the series!!)
I want to throw a genuine Thank You out there to Diana Gabaldon for not making us suffer though a long, drawn-out rift between Jenny and Claire. It would have been exhausting, and it's completely refreshing to see Jenny being so sisterly to Claire (who undeniably needs a lil' love right now). I am totally enjoy watching the two of them prattling on like the besties they should be. I hated hating Jenny; I'm so thrilled to love her again.
Off to read...but must mention this first. Watching Jamie kick the shit out of Lord John was the most delicious literary fun I've had in eons. And how exciting was it that their little scuffle was interrupted? Way to drag it out, DG. It's like the greatest fictitious foreplay ever.

MOBY Prep
This was the scene at the Jersey shore on Saturday in preparation for tomorrow's MOBY commencement!
Counting Down the Hours Until MOBY!
SPOILER ALERT: Do NOT read unless you have read An Echo in the Bone and The Space Between.
I have been waiting for MOBY for four years...and it's coming out tomorrow. Midnight, actually, since I ordered it on Kindle. I am almost numb with anticipation.
NOT to mention that I finished The Space Between - just in time for the occasion. WOW - was that a fun ending or what?? I am digging Michael and Joan together. Oh c'mon...you know they'll end up together. Ain't no way girlfriend is going to end up a nun for life. She seems to have too much need to see the world...even though she doesna know it yet. And she's also the only one who is able to conjure up some life inside his head - and heart.
To be honest, I was a little bummed after Michael found Joan in the cave. I kept thinking what an impact his appearance would have made had we not known he was following them. But then I realized I was wishing the scene had played out more like Christian Grey suddenly appearing in Ana's bedroom...and got totally sceeved at myself for absent-mindedly comparing these two scenes. NOT that I'm a Fifty snob. Not at all...it's just that comparing a Diana Gabaldon novel to Fifty Shades of Grey is like comparing the most amazing cut of Filet Mignon from the world's finest restaurant to a steamed 3 pack from White Castle. I love 'em both...but you know what I'm sayin'.
And how about Raymond and the Compte hopping, skipping, and jumping into the 1970s together?! I'm hoping Jem doesna end up with them in the mine. Lorddddddd the freakiness. I hate that the Compte is one of Raymond's "people"...because I was hoping Raymond would dispose of that disgusting "sorcerer"!! Who knows...maybe he'll surprise us and throw his ass ahead to 2170 when it's time to come home.
Did anyone else parallel Michael's and Joan's year-long wait to be together with Bree and Roger's year long handfasting? Or was that just me?
HOLY CRAP!!! I'M GOING TO KNOW JAMIE'S REACTION TO CLAIRE AND LORD JOHN'S DEED-DOING in less than 24 hours!!! It just hits me every once in a while and I can barely breathe. FOUR FRIGGIN YEARS!!! I feel like I'm getting out of jail!! Can you IMAGINE the breakfast table at houses all 'round the world tomorrow?? Those kids better not so much as look at me, let alone ask for a spoon. (Did I just say that out loud?)
More to come, lads and lassies...more to come, indeed.

Black Jack Randall: A Case Study in Cray Cray
WOW! This graphic sure has spurred some discussion on Facebook in the last 24 hours! I made it because I have sick respect for Tobias Menzies...and I know it's going to be deliciously conflicting watching him play both Frank and Black Jack Randall. Clearly this is a topic near and dear to our hearts. And might I say that is completely refreshing to see people vehemently debating Outlander topics...and not just drooling over actors who will be playing the characters we have all come to know and love (and fiercely protect!!)
(Pretty mature coming from the girl who started "Tobias Tuesday", no?) ;)

Premieres, Homer and Novellas, OH MY!
So WHAT do we all think about Outlander airing on Saturday nights??? I am cool with it as a) I have youngish kids and not the best social life (did I just say that out loud?) and b) my DVR's got skillz and gets LOTS of play between all my AMC, HBO and CW shows (again - did I admit to watching the CW out loud? HOMER!)
So last night I was reading bits and pieces of Outlander at 2:20 AM when I woke up and couldn't get back to sleep. Jamie and Claire getting to know each other on their honeymooon...him telling her about the Mackenzies...the attack on the wagons when Claire hid in the crevice in the rock...Jamie and Claire gettin' busy while everyone else was "sleeping" (wink wink) on the aforementioned rocks. And I woke up feeling all kinds of love for Jamie and Claire. So it's VERRA COOL, SASSENACHS that Starz would pick today to make their big announcement.
Now if you'll excuse me, I must read The Space Between before Tracey kicks my ass.

NEW MOP VIDEO: Breakin' Down Trailer #2!!
POST SCRIPTUM:
I have done a complete 180 on the identity of the person who is undoing Jamie's shirt; I do think it's Claire. I studied this pic to an extent a person shouldna be studying a celebrity's pic without feeling icky and stalkerific. So yes...my (now sober) ass agrees with y'all. :)

The Space Between (My Apparent Wee Brain Cells)
Spoiler Alert: The following pertains to chapter 1 in The Space Between.
OMG. Compte!! WTF? Paul Rakoczy? Isn't that Pee Wee Herman's real name? Shit. I'm in trouble. I don't remember anything. It's been what - 5 years since I read Dragonfly?? I'M SORRY!! I'M NOT A REREADER!! (yelled like Ross's "We were on a break!") Heck, I can't remember what I bought at the Shoprite last week! Claire poisoned him? Is that what happened? Why?? Why?? (screamed like Nancy Kerrigan.) |
| Raymond, you sweet thing... |
Moving on... (because clearly I need to do some Dragonfly research before going any further with Compte and poisons.)
OK so Joan? Girl? Word to the wise. You best step OFF and dinna even THINK to continue ripping on Ian Fraser Murray. Ya feel me on this? Those aren't "heathen tattoos"...they're the markings of a WARRIOR. And ye'd be smart to remember that.
 |
| Lordddd the heathen tattoos... (which can be found here) |
Regardless...Joanie had better back it up and mind her words. Nun or no, I will send (awesome Outlander fan) Lara back in time to shank her ass.
Is my memory going to fail me through this entire book? How many lines will I have to reread? How many times will I have to call Tracey and say "When did this happen?"
And I'm only on page 3. (snicker)

The Space Between for $1.99!
The Space Between: An Outlander Novella - by Diana Gabaldon - is now available for $1.99!!! 
"Joan MacKimmie is on her way to Paris to take up her vocation as a nun. Yet her decision is less a matter of faith than fear, for Joan is plagued by mysterious voices that speak of the future, and by visions that mark those about to die. The sanctuary of the nunnery promises respite from these unwanted visitations . . . or so she prays. Her chaperone is Michael Murray, a young widower who, though he still mourns the death of his wife, finds himself powerfully drawn to his charge. But when the time-traveling Comte St. Germain learns of Joan's presence in Paris, and of her link to Claire Fraser—La Dame Blanche—Murray is drawn into a battle whose stakes are not merely the life but the very soul of the Scotswoman who, without even trying, has won his heart."Really looking forward to reading this!
Jamie Fraser and the Light at the End of the Tunnel
SPOILER ALERT: If you havena finished Voyager, you dinna want to read the following:
Every April 16th, after my "good cry" for the people of the 1746 Highlands of Scotland, I think about my favorite fictitious character - Jamie Fraser - at the Battle of Culloden. I think about him lying there, bleeding, confused about why he wasn't dead. I think about the fact that Lord John Grey ultimately and unknowingly saved his life. And I then I immediately think about Echo and MOBY. For the past four years I've wondered what in the hell Jamie is going to do...and say. To Lord John. To Claire. How he's going to feel. And every year, I sigh and lament about how long it's going to be before I know.
But not this year. This year, all I can think is...
LESS THAN TWO MONTHS, BITCHES!!!! :)

More Tobias Menzies (I Canna Help Myself, Sassenachs)
 |
| Adorbs, party of 1? |
If you've never seen ROME, you may not want to watch this...as it's a compilation of scenes from the entire series...and completely spoiler-laden. ROME is, to date, in my opinion, the best series ever to air on a cable network. But I digress...
So...you've been warned. Want to see Tobias Menzies in action? This video (by Antalya1705) is set to Bush's "Glycerine"...and we never hear Tobias utter a word, which is a pity as his textured, authoritative voice accounts for so much of his allure. Yet Gavin Rossdale's gravelly voice - paired with the angst of the song - is a perfect alternate.
Welcome to Tobias Menzies, lads and lassies. Things just got interesting...

The Lost Portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie
This is a fantastic article about a lost portrait of Bonnie Prince Charlie and a documentary about it that will air in Britain on the BBC this Saturday, February 22nd.
Apparently, it "was painted in Holyrood Palace in late October 1745." Can't you just see Jamie hanging around the palace, waiting for BPC and asking him, "Are ye almost finished, ya wee rascal? Claire will have my heid if I'm no home for supper, aye?"
*Note: This originally said "ya wee besom"...until Sue kindly pointed out that "besom" refers to a FEMALE. ROFLMAO. See comments for details.

Scotland is Her Name by Albannach
Scotland is Her Name by Albannach (Sung By Jacquie Holland)
You wrapped her up in iron chains
You thought you'd tied her up
You placed a ball around her feet
Thought you'd tame her like a pup
Your winter winds so dry, aye
You stripped her back so bare
And then u looked her in the eye
And said "it's only fair"
Now is it any wonder why
We treat you like we do
You strut about your mansions like
You didnae have a clue
But you know who your are, Aye
And you know what you've done
So don't act so innocent
When we rise and end your fun
What will you do when the drought comes forth
And you cannae bleed the north
What will you do when your lakes dry up
Will you turn and beg your pup
What will you do when your houses freeze
With nay oil in your seas
Aye will you turn in blind ignorance
And beg forgiveness please
So maybe now you realise
Just how you treated her
Cause now she's mighty and she's strong
It's too late to right your wrongs
But maybe in the future, Aye
She'll free you from your shame
And then you'll look in awe of her
Aye, Scotland is her name
Cause then you'll look in awe of her
Aye, Scotland is her name.
You wrapped her up in iron chains

Tobias Menzies. Whoa.
Dear Tobias Menzies... I think I love you. Love, Carol
All y'all need to WATCH THIS. STAT. This is going to present quite a problem for me when Outlander rolls 'round come summer.
We all know Frank is not my favorite person on the planet. Yes...I did gain some respect for him after reading A Leaf on the Wind of All Hallows
. I warmed to him considerably; 'tis true. But for the love of all that's holy...Tobias Menzies is ALSO playing Black Jack Randall. Um...hello?
HOW am I supposed to HATE this guy when I'm DROOLING over him??? He's...adorable!!

Outlandish Observations: Diana/Compuserve SCOOP!
SPOILER ALERT: This post mentions a situation in An Echo in the Bone.
You have to read THIS POST from Karen at Outlandish Observations and tell me what you think about Diana's comments!!!!
Let me back up a bit. At MOP chat tonight, we were discussing this comment from Diana to Karen on Compuserve:
"I realized what the Necessary (Horrible) Thing was that had to happen to resolve (or, um, not, as the case may be...) a particular situation."
(Make sure to go to Karen's post and see that in context.)
So at chat, we discussed: What does that mean? Would Diana would "off" someone we all know and love! Is it that serious? Or something horrible but not dealing with death? Maybe something just that is unpleasant and tough for us to swallow has to happen to someone we love?
Go read Karen's post and let me know what you think!!

Claire "Badass" Beauchamp and Jamie "Highland Hound" Fraser
Aaaaaand here come the fun Outlander series articles!
Entertainment Weekly posted this article about the opening scene of Outlander.
Except someone is going to have to 'splain this commentary to me:
"Another critic asked if a pivotal scene from the book where — spoiler alert – Claire is harshly physically punished by her lover Jamie (Sam Heughan)."
Don't know who the other critic was...but "harshly physically punished"? LOL! Dude...he spanks her. On the ass. He doesn't beat her in the head while inflicting some sort of WWE full nelson slam on her. WTF?
(Yeah...I did have to google WWE maneuvers. I'll admit it.)
Note: My peeps on Facebook have reminded me that Jamie used a belt. Worse than a bare-handed spanking? Yes. But "harshly physically punished" just conjures up visions of...well...WWE maneuvers. LOL
