As promised, here's a link to the new blog, even though I haven't fixed the "internal" links yet: http://maryryanbogard.dreamwidth.org/

I may post here one last time, if just to say I have fixed the internal links. But until or unless I do, this is all for me on LJ but I will still blog on Dreamwidth.

It's been in the back of my mind for a long time now, probably several months if not a year or two, but now it's time to act on it. No, this is not a very late April Fool's joke and, no, I'm not giving up blogging. I'll still keep a personal journal and (at least try to) post at least one new entry per month (albet on no particular day within the ( Read more... )

That entry I was working on, wanted to make sure would still come across okay given its subject matter? Decided to scrap it, most likely forever. Just know that there are certain movies, games, characters, etc. that are not to my taste or are of no interest to me, and I don't care how popular they are or how often/for what reasons anyone insists on ( Read more... )

As I stare yet again down the barrel of the last ten minutes of a month, I'm just going to say that I'm (sort of) in the middle of writing the intended entry, but have chosen not to rush it just to have a February post. Given the subject matter it's better that I not rush it, though I hate having to make yet another apology post instead. Er... see ( Read more... )

I know, I know. Unfortunately, all month I've found it really difficult to post anything anywhere. But I suppose I can go ahead and get these out of the way:

• Yes, I'm way more aware of what's supposedly going to happen and the speculation thereof concerning a certain show I haven't written a "proper" rant on in a while though I used to do so on a ( Read more... )

I have, indeed, returned to the States. As I said on That Other Site, I'm still not used to waking up in my own bed again, and when I do I still wonder what sights I'll be seeing that day ( Read more... )

It appears I again overestimated how much time I really had in the month and before my next big adventure, so despite being all set to write the second half of my trip report from last year (or at least the first "chapter" thereof- all or part of the first cruise day depending on how image-heavy it ended up), I'm going to announce the ( Read more... )

Thanks to That Other Site's "memories" feature, I was reminded that this is the anniversary week (more or less) of my big Disney trip. With that in mind, I've decided to finish writing about that first and then write about the conventions I attended this year and post my next (and final?) "What's on my mind about 'Criminal Minds'". (Though photos ( Read more... )

I wanted to write what I promised, I really, truly, absolutely swear-to-gods did. My darling laptop, however, had other ideas. It's not dead but all month has decided to remind me that I don't just call it "Vanellope" out of love for the character. It (she?) seems to be fully functioning again now, but the time lost to the screen going dark and not ( Read more... )

Just a few little... well, pre-DragonCon notes.

• My very next entry (which I may end up writing from DragonCon- hey, a few years ago I found time there to write my thoughts on a certain TV show's developments at the time, you never know) will be a combined report for both Katsucon and Otakon. Yes, I'm just now writing about Katsucon, which was in ( Read more... )
