So I have to finish the last page of a paper due Wednesday, and thankfully, I found this gorgeous District 12 fanmix to help me out.  I'm writing about my experiences wandering through a nearby cemetery, and melancholy folk music about life in Appalachia helps.

In the meantime, here's a meme, snagged from visiblemarket:

Give me a character and I will answer:

The Good:

I am totally loving Body of Proof.  Dana Delany is freaking awesome and it has some really good female characters.  I haven't warmed up to the male characters yet, except the detective guy who looks like an attractive Russell Crowe.  However, Christina Hendricks's guest spot was totally pointless.  Don't care.  Still love it.  I can't ( Read more... )

I GOT A JOB TODAY!!!!!!*

I'll be working as a reporter for my school's newspaper.  I went in for an interview and walked out with a job!  Well, technically, they put all their paid staff writers "on trial" for the first two issues/weeks to see if they can handle it.  Papers are cropping up again in my little English major life, but I swear I can ( Read more... )

Birthday tomorrow!  Mom may take me out for a drink, but she can't actually have one, since she's having hip replacement surgery on Thursday.  Figures.

Am currently reading Herman Melville's Redburn (one of his sea novels that isn't Moby Dick), and now know way too much about merchant ships.

On Monday night, I went to the university's trivia night ( Read more... )

...Why do I care?  I think Lewis Carroll is an overrated idiot.  His poetry annoys me.

Anyway...this is a totally random post.  It's half-past midnight and I'm weirdly hyper and slap-happy, if that's possible.

Soooooooo...I haven't finished a fic in 5-6 months.  Dear God.  I need to do something.  Either "Stiglitz in the TARDIS" or an A-Team/ ( Read more... )

Dude, this is awesome (and sexy as hell):

I just deleted my Plaude "abusive relationship" icon.  I didn't really use it anymore, and the show has been canceled.  I'm really only sad that Claude will never get a proper reunion with Peter or HRG and/or a chance to mend those relationships.  The rest of the characters can go to hell.  I haven't cared in months.  I feel kind of awful about ( Read more... )
