<---- New Secret Life of Dolls thataway.

(Okay, twelve hours later, and I am still GLEEFULLY proud that I scored something rare-ish on eBay for half the usual price. Number of dolls I am keeping secret from you guys: back up to 2.)

( Linkspam! )

Long day, low blood sugar--tomorrow is Sister Girl's birthday (I told you December is a busy month chez Jones)--so the linkspam is somewhat compact. 'Cause I'm tired.

( In which I solve one of the great Twilight mysteries. Also, STEPHEN FRY NEEDS YOU )

Here's how you can tell I'm a bit more lackadaisical about the Oscars than I used to be: "Eh, Golden Globe noms at 7 am. They'll still be there when I wake up." So here they are. Surprises: love for In Bruges and Pineapple Express; nothing for The Dark Knight or Milk except supporting actor and actor, respectively. Mostly I'm just surprised that ( Read more... )

Late again today, because there was MOAR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. Which was fun, so I had that going for me.

Important: I got an email the other day from someone who said that reading The Gift of Fear hours before she attended a seminar helped her realize that the seminar was Bad News; she was able to run away, literally, out of the building, before ( Read more... )

So on one hand, I'm turning thirty in a couple of weeks and I'm having another one of those days where all I really want is someone warm to curl up next to at night but instead I'm going to die alone and the only reason anyone's even going to notice I went missing is because they're going to wonder why my journal hasn't been updated in a week ( Read more... )

I intended to be a lazy bastard today, but... that ended up not happening. So I'm still tired, and I'm only going to give you the choicest linkspam because, again: tired. And also, my inbox is on fire.

(But it's a good tired. I've still got more work to do, but I cannot tell you how mellow I feel now that I've got " Twilight in Fifteen Minutes"-- ( Read more... )

Feeling a little better. Not great, but better.

Oh, and I forgot to mention--the Shoebox Project's still hacked ( comment with information); don't click anything over there. Update: It's back?

Only one Twilight link for the moment, and it is: reports of Robert Pattinson's death were greatly exaggerated. Particularly since he appeared on the Today ( Read more... )

Ahoy! Once again it be that time o' year when the Dread Cleolinda an' her crew o' salty dogs steer Good Ship Split Infinitive into port. And with us, we bring a fine haul o' linkspam from the four corners of the seven seas ( Read more... )

I wasn't in a bad mood, exactly, but I haven't had the best day (tension headache, tension in my jaw, the realization that the premature grey/white hairs are spreading and not forming a Rogue streak). And then somewhere along the way, we had a sudden rainstorm and then I got into a much chattier mood, as evidenced by all the commentary below. Maybe ( Read more... )

Argh. Determined to finish another annotation tonight, for a grand total of two done. I had no idea it was going to be this much work, y’all. I don’t know how many I can crank out by the end of the week (because you want a certain amount of quality control), but my poor mother is freaking out because the termite people have increased our rates, we' ( Read more... )
