Back from my weekend in DC with Gus. We made good time on the trip down and back - 5 hours flat each way. Hyatt AAA deal was awesome. Went to the National Zoo and the Phillips Collection, but best of all hung out with a high school buddy of mine and visited with

Nothing says "back from vacation" like spending 10+ hours at work. I'll try and get to everyone's comments tomorrow evening, though it might have to wait until Wednesday since I'll be at a BBQ with my girlfriends down in SoHo tomorrow night. Similarly, the last part of my Writer Con posts will be temporarily delayed.

It's past midnight and I still ( Read more... )

I’ll give you all one guess how I was feeling when I woke up Saturday morning after my prodigious night of drinking. That’s right. The dreaded H word - hung over. Pass is an early riser, so while I was still drooling on my pillow, she was out and about at 6AM walking Nicollet Mall and greeting the ( Read more... )

I don't think I've ever done any before and it's about time I get down to it. If there's a story that you'd like the nitty gritty on, let me know! I'd love to shed some insight on any fic of interest ( Read more... )

As is typical of me, I've missed a few days worth of posts since I haven't been checking my flist, but I did notice the Stump the Author meme that's been going around. It looks fun!

Timing: Post-NFA
Pairing: Spuffy

The upside-down expanse of sea stretches out indefinately, a ribbon of teal filling the sky to the horizon. She wonders why this blue ( Read more... )

Yup, my flight's this morning and I'm really excited. It's dropped into the teens and single digits here in NYC, so I'm really looking forward to that 70 degree weather in Mexico. I'll be back on Tuesday and will be sure to post lots of pictures. On the itinerary: Beach, hike at the Mayan Ruins, snorkeling excursion on the Riviera Maya and a ( Read more... )

I want to thank everyone who gave me words of support and encouragment last Friday. It was a rough day and all your comments lifted my spirits. When I got home after work, I went to sleep at 7:30PM and did not wake up until 9:30AM the next morning. I really needed the sleep. I wonder if I wasn't also fighting off a touch of something. I was very ( Read more... )
