Have felt rather marvellous these last few days -- the weather is glorious and really rather soothing; after months of having to fight the elements in order to do much of anything, running outside without having to bother with shoes or coat is a bit glorious, really. Anyway, I've been off adventuring with burningstarsxe, and applying for jobs, and earning money ( Read more... )

WOW I AM ALL BUSY OR SOMETHING WHAT IS GOING ON.

Yeah, so, brief update before I scurry off to bed with fresh mint brownies and Dollfreakinghouse. Today! I was busy because I slept in after staying up till two watching Prisoner of Azkaban (which, unlike the first two Harry Potter films, I genuinely loved, and I kind of want to meta on that later ( Read more... )

Autumn is coming; I can smell it and taste it. Today is fey and wet and windy, and the tree I can see from my window is half orange already. The apple tree is heavy with fruit (and occasionally with cats, as Willow loves to settle on one of the top branches and smirk down at the world), the geese are flying, and I am lighting more candles than is ( Read more... )

Right, so, we're all familiar with the concept of alternate realities branching off from different outcomes of actions and decisions, but I was watching telly today and this background conversation in Willow and Tara's sociology class got me to thinking -- well, actually, it got me to pacing around the room talking to myself and gesticulating ( Read more... )

Ugh. SO, YOU GUYS, PRINCE CASPIAN IS THE MOST FABULOUS THING EVER AND I AM STILL GRINNING MANIACALLY EVEN THOUGH I COULDN'T STOP SMILING ALL THROUGH THE FILM ITSELF (EXCEPT FOR THE BITS WHEN I WAS CRYING, ALTHOUGH I WAS BEAMING THEN SOMETIMES TOO).

Anyway, today was the best day ever. (Today I was loud and we were all fangirly. Then we were ( Read more... )

Today my bicycle finally acquired a name.

I spent much of the afternoon at the library with Sarah, Hannah, and Victoria (Alessandra left yesterday to spend Pascha -- Orthodox Easter -- in Maine with her family), except for the part I spent doing yard-work (not entirely voluntarily, but Sarah and Hannah stopped to chat after church and Caroline ( Read more... )

The temperature climbed to eighty degrees today. I threw open my bedroom windows, basked on the lawn a while, tried to beg errands off of people simply so I'd have someplace to bicycle (it didn't really work; everybody went and did their own errands, drat them) -- oh, it's lovely. I'm in a sleeveless dress and no stockings at all; I'd have run ( Read more... )

So, I have a confession to make.

I have a massive, irrational, insurmountable crush on Spike.

This goes contrary to all logic! I don't fancy the bad boy character! (shut up, the Master does not count. THAT WAS THE FAULT OF THE SLEEVES AND THE CAPE AND THE CRAZY AND THE JOHN SIMM WHO IS A NEIL GAIMAN FANBOY AND IT WAS A BRIEF FLING ANYWAY WHAT I AM ( Read more... )

So, I've realised an interesting fact about myself. Most of you will probably not be surprised.

When I enter a new fandom, or am rediscovering an old one, I attempt to connect it to Eliot somehow. Um, yes. While I was waiting to get sleepy last night, I paged through my Complete Eliot and decided that Angel (so far the most likely candidate for ( Read more... )
