It's sad but true -- I'm just too busy at work to take breaks or even spend more than a few minutes with people to talk about anything other than work.  For that reason, a lot of people, even the ones who have been there nearly as long as I have, have absolutely no idea what I'm really like.  In particular: I'm really fucking inappropriate.

Hint/spoiler/trigger warning: It involves books.

During the holidays, I spent some time with Underworld-friend.  We went for lunch; we stormed the bookstore; we appropriated a table at the coffee shop and had coffee (well, I had tea).  We had a long chat about a number of things, and then we wandered around the bookstore, because: Books.

I haven't posted in a while, and yadda yadda yadda -- we all know the drill.  I'm a sorry human being, I need to update more often, I gotta stop dropping off the face of the earth, I promise to do better (at which point I'll quickly and miserably fail, with apologies), etc ( Read more... )

Since New Year's Resolutions are usually a Thing I forget about come February 1st, this year I tried something else -- instead of a resolution, I gave myself a task.  That task: SupernaturalI've only ever seen a few random episodes here and there.  So I had to get my hands on every season and watch every episode and while I'm sure most people will ( Read more... )

There is nothing better than a bowl of fresh-picked wild raspberries, wild blueberries, and locally farmed strawberries liberally doused in maple syrup and heavy cream.

Nothing.

Just to quicky catch up, because this trend of not-posting is as much avoidance as anything, because I never know what to post about these days -- even with the prompts.  I want to do the prompts justice, but, yeah, well ( Read more... )
