I know this is a really shallow thing to complain about, but well here’s the shallowest side-effect of the current pandemic. This stuff has so permeated my mind that I find when I’m writing I have a heightened awareness of how the characters are not practicing proper precautions. Not just feeling a little weird about having them close to each ( Read more... )

So I was on vacation there for a week of so, my and my folks went to Phoenix for the tail end of spring training and caught opening day between the D-back and the Rockies. This brings my parents' total of baseball stadiums they've been to to around 20 and mine to three, but I'm less on a mission to go to them all. None of us had ever been to an ( Read more... )

So because I feel incapable of watching TO/TVD without doing a reaction post, it kept getting put off, but I’m finally getting to it.

( Short rl update )

So, in case anyone was wondering, my standard reaction posts are going to be late if at all this week. My grandma had a stroke and is still in ICU although she's not getting any worse at least. It's been a stressful few days and I only today bothered figuring out my grandparents' internet connection to get online. So I'm still a bit from getting ( Read more... )

So I recently passed my 1000th post level. And I’ve had this whole plan for an epic retrospective in MS Paint but I haven’t been able to settle in and do many of the drawings I had planned for it. And tomorrow is moving day so I’m unlikely to be getting to it in the next few days either. Packing has kind of gotten in the way of a lot of my ( Read more... )

Giving it some thought, I don’t think I’ll be doing NaNo this year. I’m going to be moving in the middle of November, so pretty much the whole month is structured around that. It doesn’t mean I won’t be writing during November, I’m signed up for enough big bangs that I should get moving on and an ingoing TVD AU that I want to get back to. I had ( Read more... )

-Okay so I've spent the last few days traveling and going to a wedding. It was nice to see family but it was a lot of time in the car with my parents ( Read more... )

So we're back from seeing family now so I need to get caught up on lj (I had things I wanted to respond to before I left but didn't get to, now it's a bit late but I might still do it).

While it was an okay time, we *did* have quite a bit of fun, but things also kind of suck.

( Cut for real life/family babble )

-So I know the reviews have been pretty sporadic this last week or so, well they're going to continue to be because I'm off having fun this weekend. Well, if my friends and I end up watching anything I want to review and I have the inclination to do so I might but in case you were waiting with baited breath (I'm sure all of you were right?) you'll ( Read more... )
