Okay.

I cannot be the only person here who was a nerd for "Animorphs" back in the day. It's a freaking impossibility.

Never mind. It probably is the case. None of y'all probably recall that series, ever read it, or anything. Doesn't matter. I need to screech loudly about this. A fanfic has opened my eyes to a truth I cannot believe I ( Read more... )

Been doing some reading about different productions of "Romeo and Juliet". Not exactly sure why, but I am, and it's revealed some interesting takes.

What pleased me most was the fact that there are a bunch of companies that have cast a woman as Mercutio, because this is something I've personally wanted to see for a long time. No reason, I just have.

The State Of The Book
(Or, Reading Shit That You Probably Won't Care About)
In order to give you some context, you should know that I have a tendency to have three, potentially more books on the go at one time. I've finished thirteen so far this year, and my goal is to hit 100 by the time it's over.
This isn't me trying to brag. It's just laying out ( Read more... )

Percy is looking at her computer screen, mouth twisted in a grimace and head cocked to the side.

"It's today, isn't it?"

The computer doesn't answer. It just sits there in silent expectation and perfect patience. Percy's grimace grows a little larger; the question had been worth a shot.

Sighing, she clicks open a folder entitled ''Original Writings ( Read more... )

GIFT

You tell me that silence
is nearer peace than poems
but if for my gift
I brought you silence
  (for I know silence)
you would say
     This is not silence
this is another poem
and you would hand it back to me.

-Leonard Cohen

I get the feeling that today is a writing day. Specifically of the original variety, which will prove interesting in and of ( Read more... )

I came to a decision this morning. It came to me as I started going through some of my clothes  in order to make room in my drawers, as they are full to bursting at this point.

Please, brace yourself for this revelation. It pains me as much as I imagine it will pain you.

I determined that it's time for me to conduct a purge of my library. Yes, I ( Read more... )

No.

NO.

BAD MUSES. BAD. I let you have your way with the 919 AU Universe, and that's still kicking around. Now you want to take this little "Inception" ficlet, and you want to blow it up into something epic? The amount of backstory you are trying to jam in it will force it to explode into something really long and no. NO. You don't get to play like ( Read more... )

AMERICAN IDOL TONIGHT.

OMG, I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BUT THERE WERE BAGPIPES AND DIDGEREIDOOS AND SERIOUSLY IT WAS AMAZING AND I AM TOTALLY GETTING INCOHERENT RIGHT NOW BUT I CANNOT BRAIN  AT ALL BECAUSE OF THIS.

I SHIT YOU NOT GUYS.

DIDGEREIDOO. IN ‘COME TOGETHER’.

BAGPIPES. IN ‘HEY JUDE’.

I AM FLAILING LIKE A FLAILING THING OF FLAIL ( Read more... )

So, in my grand adventures yesterday (a few errands that would normally have taken an hour to run that ended up requiring ALL DAY to accomplish due to Translink dependency), I had to stop by the bookstore in order to clear a couple things up with my manager. She was out for a bit, so I had time to kill.

An X-Men manga entitled “X-Men: Misfits” was ( Read more... )

Had we but world enough and time, this entry would probably be the length of a novel or something. However, a novel that's pure squee and general fangirl flailing would likely get old very fast, so I'm going to try and cut my description down to the point where it’s a manageable read for a journal entry, but still manages to get across my glee.
