Shana tova, Rosh Hashanah-celebrating friends. I am starting the new year by eating snacks and writing noncon. *facepalm*

It FINALLY cooled off -- "fun" fact, Boston almost beat its record for number of consecutive nights when the low didn't go below 60F -- so I am ready to acknowledge the approach of autumn, my favorite season. Will this be the ( Read more... )

I finally tried Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell, and I loved it. First, it fit the need for a novel and an easy read during this week of post-snow hell commutes. Second, it was more relatable and moving than anticipated. Plowed through the whole thing in two days.

Should I read Carry On next? I didn't have feelings about Simon and Baz like I ( Read more... )

All that and I forgot to say I've registered for

1. The "Elf" vid is pretty much ready to go, pending one last beta's feedback. Hemming and hawing on whether to post tomorrow evening (Eastern) or Saturday morning. Probably the weekend. I don't know anymore when the best times are to post things. Do you?

This week it occurred ( Read more... )

Happy Passover, Passover celebrators. As I eat scrambled egg over matzoh, I encourage you to (re)watch jetpack_monkey's vid Moves Like Yahweh for a dose of plague-filled, irreverent joy.

Happy National Poetry Month, poetry lovers. I am taking this occasion to -- incredibly belatedly -- rec a podfic (podpoem) susan_voight recorded of my SGA sestina, An Unanticipated Side ( Read more... )

It was all worth it just so we could receive this sophisticated graphic from the National Weather Service.

Posts I want to make when there is time (a.k.a. not this week), in no particular order:

- Unanticipated long-term snow-related issues*
- Request for recommendations for seeing/eating/staying in San Francisco
- What it was like to take a R.A.D. class while having a consent play kink
- The Fall: It was pretty great
- Crowdsourcing -- well, crowd- ( Read more... )

Reading: Finished A Discovery of Witches by Deborah Harkness, for the next book club. Thoroughly mediocre. I wouldn't have read it except it was billed as a vampire romance. That wasn't false advertising. But it draaaaaagged, oh my God, and as far as the romance plot thread went, it didn't understand the concept of the building and breaking of ( Read more... )
