Just realized that I haven't posted for ages again. Though to be fair there was con and then work was crazy busy after I got back so I haven't really had a lot of time until now ( Read more... )

So, been bad about posting again. If I don't do it first thing in the morning I never quite get to it. I shall attempt to be better, if for no other reason that I like keeping track of what's going on in my OWN life as well as keeping in touch with y'all ( Read more... )

The 39 Steps was very silly and fun. Sadly I was having an attack of allergies and thus kept having to fight not to doze off so I didn't enjoy it as much as I might have but that wasn't at all the fault of the show ( Read more... )

Yeah, you! You can stop laughing anytime ( Read more... )

I'm having sort of a rough couple of days, the whole wrapped in gauze feeling. It's a bit frustrating to know why I'm feeling that way and not being able to do much about it.
