Over the last year I have gotten several (mostly kind, respectful and not cranky) emails and comments asking me about my fic and where the hell (my words) I've disappeared to. I should probably put this up here somewhere, so I can kind of explain what's been going on in the life of D ( Read more... )

So. It's been a while since I've updated, well, anything and I am sorry for it. It's just been that real life has been one swift kick in the ass after another this year. With having to sell our house, move almost a hundred miles away and into the 'burbs of a major city, my father's diagnosis that is STILL on-going, my in-law doing a VERY STUPID ( Read more... )

So, we went to see Rise of the Guardians tonight (yes, The Hobbit, I know, I'll be seeing it like five times, just after the rush is over and there aren't four zillion people in the theater ruining my experience with their bitchiness). RotG was really, really, really good. It had that blend of kid and adult humor, where the parents weren't left out ( Read more... )

So, in my family, we have this...okay, it's really weird tradition where we label presents with the From tag occasionally from dead people. Or animals. No, I don't know where it came from, just that we've done it for as long as I can remember. We also use Santa ( Read more... )

So, Himself and I just sat down and watched Matthew Bourne's Nutcracker!

Oh. My. Fucking. God. What the hell did I just watch? I'm kind of charmed, but. What? I mean. Just. What?

I get totally changing up an old classic. I really wanted to watch this, since this is the guy that did the spin on Swan Lake that I STILL haven't seen, but I hear is ( Read more... )

So, the assholes who came to see the house today turned my heater on and then left it on when they exited. I have no idea how long it was on. I had my windows open, because it's humid (a humid 56 degrees, but still, humid). My windows were open. The fuckers left my heaters on with all of the windows in the house wide open.

There is no way I can ( Read more... )

So, Himself and I sat down and watched the season three premiere of The Walking Dead last night.

Let me just preface this post with saying that we had to stop the DVR several times to argue about Roman era weapons. So, you know, some perspective on just how fucking nerdy Himself and I are.

( Not going to lie, there be ranting ahead )

Apparently, according to my father (and thus a bucket of salt) we can trace our ancestry back to ~ 450 C.E through the kings of France. Who knew?

I'm not actually going to go so far as to say I believe all this - however, I will allow that we are related to the Blaisdell line that came over on, like, the Mayflower or some shit. I have no idea. He's ( Read more... )

Dear People On the Roof, (that reminds me of that movie, the people under the stairs. Remember that, anyone? Scared the crap out of me)

I understand you're doing...something that needs to be done to the roof, but please understand, I am right under you and I can hear all your very manly conversations. If you keep this up, I will crank the opera and/ ( Read more... )

So, about a month ago my old pharmacy went out of business. Supposedly not a big deal, since they said they transferred all our scripts to the place down the street. Due to family issues with Crazy Uncle Bob, by the time I realized I was almost out of one of my prescriptions it was three days till they were out. Now, it wasn't one of the meds that ( Read more... )
