GUYS GUYS GUYS

I HAVE AWESOME THINGS TO SHARE

1. chestnut_filly did an awesome podfic of Seven Conversations About Love like three months ago and I totally flaked on linking it, but: It is great. Go listen and love!

2. wildimmortal has translated Build Me a City into Chinese!* You can find it here, if you're interested; registration for that site is required.

3. My new ( Read more... )

You know how people say everyone's nicer in Canada? Yeah, that's definitely true. When we were in Pittsburgh, we frequented a chocolate shop, where I purchased some Earl Grey dark chocolate by Jelina Chocolatier that is hands-down some of the best chocolate I have ever had. They're a Canadian company, don't ship to the US from their website, and I ( Read more... )

So my friend Liz and I have just had an epic Twitter back-and-forth about casting a hypothetical movie version of Catherine, Called Birdy, which was (and is!) one of our favorite books. The cast list is as follows ( Read more... )

You guuuuuys. I still love my job, even though sometimes it gets way boring, and entering data on a 1980s black screen with aquamarine and neon green text gets old way fast. This week I got to interact face-to-face with a PhD student! (This is way more impressive when you realize that 1) I was probably at least 4 years younger than said student, ( Read more... )

You guuuuuys. I love my new job, seriously. I hope I keep loving it! Today I got to send an e-mail that amounted to, "This is wrong, you need to fix it, here's a link to the instructions." No extraneous niceties, no obsequious turns of phrase, just: This is incorrect, this is what it should be, here's what else you're going to need to do after you ( Read more... )

The hell with it, have a meme - stolen from last_archangel, who stole it from darkfrog24, who stole it from emeralddragon, who stole it from patchcat. No idea where it came from before that, and it doesn't really matter, but I think it's fun to trace the paths of these things.

"I'm running a test to see who's reading my posts. So, if you read this, leave me a one-word comment about your day ( Read more... )

It's my first day of work today! Aaaaah.

I am more nervous than anxious, which is a big distinction for me. However, I also woke up earlier than I have in ages (my 34 hours of wakefulness on Thursday doesn't count; seriously, I hope that never happens again, wtf), so I'm pretty tired. I know I took my allergy medication, but I can't remember if I've ( Read more... )

GUESS WHO GOT A JOB TODAY

ME THAT'S WHO!

Let me tell you something about my in-laws. They think that anything worth getting to is worth getting to early - like, insanely early. Which is why my brother-in-law Mike showed up at our house at 6 o’clock on Saturday morning.

And he was late, by the way. He was originally supposed to get there around five. Keep in mind that we aren’t allowed to ( Read more... )
