Leave a comment saying "Harmony" (or "Drusilla" or your favourite vampire name, or "Sassy" or your favourite ship name. Sassy, by the way, is the pairing smoosh for Sam/Castiel, and I think it is HILARIOUS. It goes so well with their matching bitchfaces ( Read more... )

Here are some links that have been keeping me going lately.

1. This one I may actually have linked to before, because I find myself returning to it regularly. Orson Scott Card, meet Alan Turing. This is a post at Feminist SF about Alan Turing, the British mathmatician who worked on cryptanalysis during the second world war (and was awarded the ( Read more... )

kia ora everyone! there has been a little bit of radio silence from me for awhile and there probably will be fore another while, because first uni buried me in work, then work buried me in work, and somewhere in there my laptop died. (I am hopeful that it's just the power cord - the adaptor, I think - and that's all I'll need to replace. I am ( Read more... )

I moved into a new flat and

Oh interwebs, we haven't spoken in awhile and I've been busy, so have a really disorganised list ( Read more... )

So I usually submit a physical timesheet and invoice on Tuesdays, and then get paid on Thursdays. This Tuesday we got an email saying to send our invoices and timesheets electronically to our various supervisors. I did so, late in the evening (my instructions for timesheets had been 'by Wednesday midday' so I figured I was fine). Then on Wednesday ( Read more... )

Today I read Meg Rosoff's book How I Live Now. I have been warned of this already because karenhealey blogged about it, but the blurb is some of the most misleading copy I have ever read in my life. It was terrific, I really loved it ( Read more... )

1. I just finished Libba Bray's A Great and Terrible Beauty, which is the first in a trilogy. I enjoyed it a bunch, but I found it slowed towards the end and I wasn't quite sold on it when I was done. Has anyone read the other two? Should I read them? Usually I am the kind of person to go straight onto them, but I have quite a big to-read list ATM ( Read more... )

1. "I think it's a kiwi." "Don't they only live in Australia or New Zealand?" *sob*2. On "Ms." Not the magazine, the title. If I could make one single absolute change to the world, it would probably be Ms. Mrs. would be gone and Miss would be like Master - on the way out. I know that is a pretty bourgeois English-speaking problem, and obviously I ( Read more... )

Today was a really good day. I got up this morning and put on my new dress, which I got at the new op shop. It's a blue dress with a white hawaiian-ish print, in a stretchy cotton; it's basically just a little top with spaghetti straps joined to a big skirt, ankle-ish length. It turns out to look fabulous on me - the perfect waist, I think, plus ( Read more... )
