So, today's the last day of November, which means today is the last day of NaBloPoMo for me. I hope everyone who tackled NaNoWriMo is doing well and will finish their goal! Me, I'm glad I'm done with this! Expect me going back to my regular semi-absent posting status! Thanks for everyone to put up with my crazy rambling and nonsense. There was ( Read more... )

In a move of greatness I forgot to post last night! uhm.. that's my third strike this NaBloPoMo. Erm. Well. The month is almost over and I'm hoping to catch up this weekend with everything I haven't catch up. Let's see if I can make it ( Read more... )

Have a great Thanksgiving, US flist! have a brilliant Thursday, non-US flist!

Pattern Recognition re-ignited my love for Russia -Jen, I think I know where the communist ferret dream came from!- and I thought I would share these links. Do any of you know of any urban novels set in Russia or that dwell on Moscow's lower levels?

Slept three hours last night, woke up at 3 am, showered, drove 40 minutes to airport, started reading 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo', waited an hour and a half for plane to leave, slept an hour in the plane, landed, drove home, picked up my keys and work card, drove to work and thanks to the time zone difference, still made it to work at 8 am ( Read more... )

I'm sorry I'm behind the flist (again!). I won't be catching up with things until next weekend, I'm afraid.. though, I'll play a bit of catch up during next week, I fall really behind without free time to roam the ljworld at my leisure ( Read more... )

Thanks for your great advice on quitting, flist! I.. m working through it. Mostly in my mind. Urg, I wonder what is it with this.. obstinate, opposed to change, stubborn bull-mind I have. My science heart tells me that horoscopes really make no sense, and then I come off as the most Taurean of all Tauruses and I have to grumble lowly to myself... ( Read more... )

Mind is too stuffed with anger and annoyance and sheer despair that no post can be formulated tonight. Other than this post, that is ( Read more... )

Oh man, one of the downsides of winter is that I can't stop eating. Pretty much everything sounds tasty right now -with the exception of not tasty things. I just finished my second dinner and if you were to offer me roasted chicken -I am.. very partial to roasted chicken- I would devour it as well. Mannn why is it so cooolllldddd ( Read more... )

The fabulous taro_twist recommended me Pattern Recognition (by William Gibson) after hearing me babble happily about the Sprawl trilogy. I have fallen in love with Gibson's style after a luke-warm start -Neuromancer is not exactly easy-reading given all the things you have to learn about the future/present to get it. But after Burning Chrome, I just can't ( Read more... )
