I find it faintly disturbing that my very first post of the new year was a frantic cry for academic help. Well, hopefully it is prophetic of the Year to Come -- the academia bit, I mean, not the frantic cry for help. Anyway, it turns out that essays are really fun!, especially when they're simultaneously very fannish and very academic. In fact, ( Read more... )

Ah, epicness. Yesterday I essayed frantically (though not frantically enough: NEED MOAR ESSAY), acquired a profoundly marvellous hat in the post (which I bought entirely on accident as my mother took it into her head to look up vintage hats on eBay on my laptop and found it and was all, "oh look, this auction ends in two hours, how lovely!" and it ( Read more... )

Heavens, it's been nearly a week since last I posted! For shame! But really, I've been rather shockingly busy, in, yes, the offline world, what with writing a Hire Me letter and composing my first proper resume ever (it's very short and not terribly impressive, but the fonts are lovely!) for the job at the local paper, and then accidentally ( Read more... )

You guys, I have been reading frenetically over the last several weeks. It is delicious, although occasionally disconcerting -- there were a couple of days when I was so locked into a pair of books that I could not drag myself away from them, and so did hardly anything but read. The catalyst, I think, is suddenly (and at last) having so many new ( 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... )

Dear Wesley Wyndam-Pryce,

PLEASE, JUST STOP SHAVING ALREADY, OKAY? ALSO, YOU ARE MADE OF AWESOME AND I THINK I AM MADLY IN LOVE WITH YOU.  (However, because of this I am afraid I have doomed you to a miserable existence (look at the statistics, yeah?), but now at least there is a distinct statistical possibility that you will reference T.S. Eliot ( ( Read more... )

Right, so, 'The Lazarus Experiment' was MADE OF WIN AND CAPSLOCKING. AND ELIOT QUOTATIONS, OMG. ELIOT QUOTATIONS. THIS IS EVEN BETTER THAN DYLAN THOMAS QUOTING, YOU GUYS.

(This also totally proves my not-theory that the Doctor went to visit Eliot -- probably by accident -- and saved the world and inspired bits of 'Prufrock' and stuff.)

Speaking of ( Read more... )

Right, so, this was supposed to be a post about National Poetry Month with a long-overdue Poem of the Week in it. Er, sorry, that's next time. THERE IS SQUEEING TO BE DONE.

Which is to say, I JUST SAW 'SMITH AND JONES' AND VERILY IT WAS MADE OF WIN. ALSO CAPSLOCK. AND TEN. BEING AWESOME. ON THE MOON. (Also Martha, who I am liking considerably.) ♥
