I started this note with the phrase: "I'm so fucking tired of (blank)-punk designations for fiction subgenres". However, I quickly paused and realized that this is a typical thing to happen, in this day and age of style and image over substance ( Read more... )

Know something I really get amused about, with LJ? When the site is having issues, I check the status page and find that there's no problems. On the other hand, when I get messages from maintenance that they had an issue, I never seem to have noticed. Go figure ( Read more... )

Some nights are not made for sleeping. Not ones where you don't sleep, ones where you kinda wish you hadn't. you needed the sleep, you were tired and all, but your brain decides, for whatever reason, that it's upset with you for some unknown reason, and chooses to spend the night torturing your captive mind with a mental terror show of biblical ( Read more... )

- Approximately 3:30 this morning, half-asleep and trying to get up to hit the restroom. I managed to knock my elbow into Jessica's head. Needless to say, it woke her up with more than a little pain and unhappiness. I held her until she was asleep again, did my thing, and came back to bed, but basically haven't slept since then.

Been watching The West Wing, and just started season 3 ( Read more... )

I'm so unbelievably tired.

I have to make a change in myself. Too many times, lately, I've gone about my merry way being the overly blunt-speaking guy I've always been, and it has hurt someone. Yes, I know, I ordinarily didn't seem to care about that. Truth is, I always DID care, but felt it was something that had to be said for someone's own good and usually followed up ( Read more... )

Right, so, what the Hell, I'm feeling just masochistic enough for this. Take a few minutes, and gimme your opinions on me. Seriously, just click each of these links, and choose the 5 or 6 words from the lists that you think describe me. One is positive, one negative, and you don't have to give your name (in fact, it would be preferable if you ( Read more... )
