Hi. I suck. I got sucked in by my family, and then FUCKING TUMBLR KNITTING AND STOCKINGS PORN.

Ahem.

Guess what I did last night? Went and played Dungeons & Dragons for the first time since I was in junior high. Made geeky Manfriend so happy. My character is an Egyptian Priestess of the Goddess Bast (topless lady with cat head) who has a pet cat ( Read more... )

Let us all pretend that it is normal for me to be posting all of a sudden, out of the blue, after being gone for so very, very long. I don't where I was. It was definitely me, not you.

Rather than apologize in a boring, repetitive way, instead I will tell you about some little things that pleased me recently:

1) This bag I got for Christmas... ( Read more... )

So I'm TA-ing for this class called "TV in Transition" this quarter and the students have two assignments where they have to pick a network and a show respectively to write papers about. Yesterday I had quite the nerd moment when after class I had three kids surrounding me, one "on hold" because I had Things to Say to him about Smallville, another ( Read more... )

Remember me?

Supposedly, I'm working on a dissertation about cinematic representation of writing. And I am. Since you last heard from me this has first necessitated visits with a lot of doctors and other healing people, my mother, aunt and kittyzams. Plus, various friends in bands coming through town - that happened too. But finally, I'm less afraid of my ( Read more... )

I find myself wishing, as I watch the season finale of Fringe, that my sweetheart was also into this show, so that we could share the awesome-tasticness of NIMOY in this episode ( Read more... )

Let's pretend, just for a moment, that I haven't been the worst LJ friend ever, so that I can feel like it's okay to speak/babble/begin.

You know how I feel about place. I wrote a SPN fic set in my home town for heaven's sake, and made friends with hansbekhart because she wrote one set in Santa Cruz right after I moved away from there. Well, today I'm a ( Read more... )

So I'm at a media studies conference in LA. Wasn't sure if I was going to make it as I got THE PLAGUE two weeks ago and it lingered until I had to postpone my flight a couple days. And of course, now I have to revise/finish up my paper HERE. TODAY. AT THE CONFERENCE. in my hotel room. This sickness was also especially ill-timed because it meant ( Read more... )

Um, hello.

Since you last heard from me I have:

-Watched all of So You Think You Can Dance Canada and season one of the Aussie SYTYCD. I feel as though I should write a paper about SYTYCD in order to justify this madness. So you know, the US version is the most prudish, the Canadian the most likely to involve simulated sex acts, and the ( Read more... )

*Took the cats to sweetheart's mom's in Indiana (a two hour car trip). We thought the meds the vet gave us weren't really working because Sam yowled for the first hour in that frightening way that's half human-child and half alien being. But then when Logan refused to take his pill on the way back and became so terrified by the 10 foot walk to the ( Read more... )

I've had the BtVS theme song as my ring tone forever. (And of course, I have 100% no shame about this, whatsoever.) Today--as on too too many other days of late--I have a mild migraine (if mild is ever a suitable adjective to describe migraines) and so, am in deep need of comfort and courage. So I decide to put on one of my Buffy DVDs (on v. low ( Read more... )
