Writing letters to family from long trips to faraway lands:) feels too much like writing short stories. Inescapably, I veer of into describing minute and unimportant things, like flowers on windowsills, statues of Saint Francis of Assisi in dark alleyways, jellyfish in havens, stuff like that. There is nothing about me in such letters. That feels easier, but the family gets offended.

Chuck fandom has been my comfort read for a while. It provides the only college!fics that don't get me depressed. Also, it has geeks saving the day (in spades). For some reason, I don't want to watch the series itself (I've only watched the pilot, it was funny & smart & cool, but I have strong suspicions that such a premise can only work once), but the fics are awesome.
