I've been sorting through books. There are many books in my house, and many of them are books I don't regularly look at or even want. These books can be yours ( Read more... )

Today is perfect blustery weather. I love blustery weather and generally curl up with all sorts of blankets and books or (less common lately) movies. Or just sit in front of the computer and sing at the top of my lungs to music while writing ( Read more... )

Despite all appearances I have not given up on livejournal. I have, however, been very busy with various life-things, one of which I am ready to begin unveiling.

I now have an SF review blog entitled Jumpdrives & Cantrips that I've been hard at work on. It is a labour of love, one that I hope will garner some support online and be a useful ( Read more... )

I am now a certified Trauma Nurse after my course this weekend. I was vaguely surprised that I ended up with 100% on my demonstration and the multiple choice exam. Happy, but surprised. In celebration we saw Spiderman 3 with a bunch of friends Sunday night ( Read more... )

I have decided Simon & Garfunkel are my current soundtrack for the day. They are now blaring out from the stereo, as much as folk-pop ever blares, heh ( Read more... )

Adrian & I spent the day cleaning up the house and doing general chore type things. As a result, I now have an actual usable linen closet as it has been totally scrubbed out. It was quite dingy and I'm glad I held off and didn't just shove things in there without cleaning first (everyone please join me in a mental "ew" at the colour of the water ( Read more... )
