2006 rings in sort of darkly wet and ghost-townish, which is fine by me because it fully justifies holing up and getting writing done. I was supposed to go to Long Beach to see the choucroute today, but instead I schlepped around in the rain doing errands and will go down to LB when it stops raining. I went to Rue de esorlehcar to feed the cats, only to ( Read more... )

Seriously, I got the best Yuletide present a girl could ask for.

Here's what I didn't ask for, but, after spending three days nose-deep in the Yuletide archive, here is what I crave, oh, crave, with every fiber in my ficklicious being. Look how all the girlslash I like is in fandoms so rare as to not actually be fandoms at all? Sad, sad meeee ( Read more... )

Man, it's a joyful pre-apocalyptic time to be alive! (though now Scott McClellan is fanwanking the truth, in totally unrelated ( Read more... )

And with it, the time of the season when fans do things for other fans and exchange secret and marvelous gifts. Me, I'm doing 3_ships and yuletide this year -- I've done yuletide the last two years running but never 3 ships, and I am chomping at the bit for some structured fannish behavior to help oversee my re-entree back into the world of fan culture. And so, I ( Read more... )

Caught another gasp of apparent downtime at work; this only happens on weekends, usually Sundays, slow news days, when the bosses are away and the campaigns are par for the course till Monday's news cycle begins.
