I never have to give specific directions to anyone who comes to visit me anymore, you see. I just tell them that I live in the watermelon house. It's all green on the outside, and inside it's bright bright pink. It's not so pink by the time you get upstairs into the living room I and the roommates occupy, and my own room is blissfully plain ( Read more... )

I was really amused by one of the conversation topics brought up on Consumating, wherein it was asked what various famous people's gardens would look like. Not in the sense of seriously considering probable flora and fauna, but in the sense of allegory. I just loved some of the contributions, and thought I'd share them with you ( Read more... )

Believe it or not, despite the fact that I've been posting about Mika almost daily, I have actually been trying to my hardest to hold back on all the things I want to post about him while finishing my papers. Oh yes. The list of things I want to write about him but haven't has grown so extensive, in fact, that I have a text file where I've been ( Read more... )

So on the one hand, I don't really want to be seen as unconditionally promoting it ( Read more... )

Does anyone else ever watch Nancy Grace? I think I love her. I also am firmly of the opinion that she is not for real, but rather an incrediby brilliant created persona. I can't quite define what it is that's so amazing about her, but watch a segment of her show (I'll admit that I can't usually sit through the whole thing), and you'll see ( Read more... )

So, a livejournaler I tend to browse, theferrett, just made an entry about talking to his dad about his girlfriend, and then being told that the dad's on speakerphone and the girlfriend is in the room with him ( Read more... )

On this, our last day in London (yes, you may well rejoice-it’s almost over!), we finally managed to get up in time to go see the crossing of the guards. Which was largely unexciting, though I *was* amused by their way of gliding their feet daintily across the pavement. Having accomplished this task, it being our last of “Things You Must Do In ( Read more... )

A "conversation" I had with a security guard today, as I was walking into World Bank ( Read more... )
