I have not actually been swallowed whole by my new computer! Although if I stare too long at the background it seems a distinct possibility. Holy shit, the resolution on this screen is INCREDIBLE and everything looks incredible - except, of course, for anything I have ever touched with Photoshop. /o\ DAMNIT, TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS. (Art ( Read more... )

So, I was going to write up an amusing saga for you all, but I'm lazy so to make a long story short: It snowed and iced; my computer is not here quite yet though it is supposed to be here today according to a text; and the heating in the apartment died and the ETA for repairs is "¯\_(ツ)_/¯" due to aforementioned snow/ice and many other people ( Read more... )

Sorry for the unaccustomed post-Yuletide silence, but it was a busy few family holiday days! ... okay, only some of it was family-related. I REALLY LIKE SPARROW RACING, OKAY. And the new bounties for strikes/Nightfalls are pretty fun. But I HAVE also been making time for reading Yuletide fics and now it is time for some recs! First, of course ( Read more... )

Recently I have been making some time in my very busy internet-and-Destiny schedule to do some reading of books! Well, re-reading, actually. I had a sudden yearning to re-read some Discworld books, specifically, but couldn't find our copies, which I suspect are either in boxes still or were taken by my sister. Instead, I have been making do with ( Read more... )

I JUST FINISHED ANCILLARY MERCY AND I'M NOT OKAY, BUT IN A GOOD WAY.

Hi, mysterious benefactor! I would just like to reassure you up-front that while I might go on at greater length/with more capslock about certain characters or canons, this is definitely not a reflection on how happy I would be to get fic or art in any of them, because if I didn't want it, I wouldn't request it. I will be super excited no matter ( Read more... )

So, after two hours in level 35 Prison of Elders last night without getting past round 4, I have come to the conclusion that hard mode anything in Destiny is probably not for me, because my button-mashing instincts for what to do in any given dangerous situation are always, always wrong. So yeah. Well, I'll always have the moral victory of ( Read more... )

Eating library cafe pound cake for lunch like a classy motherfucker while I try to think of what else I can only find out from the Munich manuscript in person, and pleased to report that it's just as much of a hot scribal mess as it looked from the (good) digital scans. I LOVE IT, even if it is missing its last leaf for some sad reason. Am deeply ( Read more... )

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS INTERACTING WITH ST. GALL MANUSCRIPT IS A GO

I'M GONNA TOUCH ALL OF MY MANUSCRIPTS WITH MY (POSSIBLY GLOVED) HANDS (UNLESS PARIS DECIDES TO BE A JERK ABOUT IT)

The Marathon/Lathe of Heaven crossover is edited and posted at two out of three usual places, AO3 and brief-transit! ... the jury is out on whether it's worth cross-posting to FF.net. I do have one faithful reader there, but I have no idea if they've read The Lathe of Heaven or not, and as crossovers go - well, this one relies pretty heavily on familiarity ( Read more... )
