Reading Week + Year of the Tiger + Olympics Pride = sounded pretty awesome, until my crazy aunt wrecked it with her existence. She's slightly better today and earlier she could talk civilly with my mom (albeit about how she wants to have dental surgery and how the Evil Computer offered her $32,000 to marry the guy next door, aka our new neighbour, ( Read more... )

So last night I had a singularly Summerlicious dining experience, and by that I mean I was really nauseous.

We went to a cozy little French place for what was basically a coming out ceremony for a certain couple. Even with our combined intellects, j_taurus5 and I could not pinpoint the trigger for this event, since the evasive twosome has been carrying on ( Read more... )

Lost: S5 poster (DESTINY CALLS. I love it!), group photoshoot (everybody looks photoshopped), promo featuring The Fray's "You Found Me". Clearly, ABC loves The Fray.

Joseph Fiennes to appear on my TV? In a show called Flash Forward!

Star Trek: new trailer, 10 things you should know about ST.

I found some pages of "supernatural romance" stories that I wrote during my vampire boyfriend phase (i.e. 11-12 years old). Maybe I'll type them up and post it for the lulz, to celebrate these twilit times ( Read more... )

Neil Gaiman wrote an encouraging letter to the NaNoWriMo troops:

By now you're probably ready to give up. You're past that first fine furious rapture when every character and idea is new and entertaining. You're not yet at the momentous downhill slide to the end, when words and images tumble out of your head sometimes faster than you can get them ( Read more... )

Some of you may recall my attempting to write a 50,000-word novella in August 2005 and failing. Well, that's just unacceptable, and I'm going to make amends for that this month. This is the first time I'm doing NaNoWriMo properly, and by that I mean actually during NaNoWriMo, in November, along with all the other batshit crazy dreamers out there. ( Read more... )

I have a problem. I can't seem to bring myself to write. Anything. This blog you're reading? Finally posted after about a gazillion stops and starts. A mini review of the latest Tyler Perry movie? Hours fiddling with a single sentence. A card I've been meaning to send to a friend? Finally written and mailed after days sitting in a drawer. Forget ( Read more... )

Today I strolled through Word on the Street: groped lots of books and magazines; jostled people to get a glimpse of the likes of Vincent Lam, Craig Kielburger and David Suzuki (he spoke at my convocation!); bumped into J-Skool people (four months since the apocalypse and already awkward... was it like this after high school? I think it was lol); ( Read more... )

Breaking news: PotC 3 posters! Eeeeeeek. I just noticed that the acronym for At World's End is AWE, which is, well, awesome.

( I know that this discontent is the basic trait that turns a person into a writer )

So forgive.

Title: Untitled. It's not even a short story - more like a series of vignettes.
Rating: PG-13 for theme? May go up in the last instalment, which may or may not include a sex scene (I know Ann-Marie is looking forward to that, and now I know all of you have suddenly developed an interest in my work HAHA), and may or may not ever get ( Read more... )
