( Curiosity, depression, and the odd politics of hope. )

There is an on/off switch somewhere in my brain that I seem to have absolutely no control over. I have stopped caring, entirely, about a tremendous number of things that used to be very important to me. Maybe I'll start again and maybe I won't -- my own desires and interests are entirely mysterious, even to me. In the meanwhile, everything is cold ( Read more... )

I thought I would pop my head up for long enough to say hello. So, uhm, hello!

Perhaps you're wondering why I'm not responding to IMs, e-mails, tweets, RP threads, that kind of thing... I am utterly swamped with work lately, to the tune of 12 to 16 hours a day, which excessively limits the free time I have. And, while I always intend to respond to ( Read more... )

I've been gradually collecting books scattered around the house and piling them in the living room by my new bookshelves, and shelving them a few at a time.

Being home with absolutely nothing to do and no plans involving airplanes until November seems ( Read more... )

I am back from Dragon*Con and I enjoyed it immensely. I had more fun this year than in any previous years, and I think it's because I juggled my work/play balance -- now rather heavy on the "play" side. Many good times were had hanging around with cosplayers who, quite obviously, do have more fun than everyone else.(This is to say that, yes, I am ( Read more... )

By nature, I'm a loner. My ideal circumstances involve being alone (or at least left alone), somewhere quiet, preferably curled up with a cup of coffee and a good book. (If this is a place where someone may be convinced to bring me additional coffee without having to leave my book, all the better.) And I am sorry, but I do often like books more ( Read more... )

Torchwood week - with a new episode every night - is approaching its end, and with no new Doctor Who on the horizon for months yet, it’s generating excitement at a ridiculous levels amongst the fandom, myself included. (If nothing else, it’s a heck of a lot of fun to have everyone together, watching and talking and obsessing over the same things ( Read more... )
