Wonky sleeping last night, but I got up around ten a.m. and got a start on my laundry, of which I had two weeks' worth to get done. Which meant the washing machine and drier went all afternoon, more or less; this included sheets that wanted cleaning and other necessities. But! Had some good things happen as well: got the mail and found my state tax ( Read more... )

So... my dad had had a two-week vacation, which meant we were doing some day-trips and things around my work schedule (the way my hours got pared down, I can't afford to take a week off from work, certainly not two). This, along with the usual stressors of work, plus some very unwelcome online idiocy, lead me to have more emotional drainage than ( Read more... )

Turns out there's a whole lot more to the claim that Cardinal Ratzinger, now Pope Benedict XVI is dead set against the Harry Potter series. One of the exorcists of Rome, Father Gabriel Amorth, is against it, but he's not the Chief Exorcist of Rome as some have described him; he appears to be the Rorschach of the Church, and his constantly being on ( Read more... )

I hated to do it, but I'll admit, I've pretty much outgrown the HP series, plus the books were taking up space on my limited bookshelves. So with a lump in my throat, I traded them off to Larry the Comics Guy, to share with his kids, in exchange for several World of Darkness game books I had been eyeing for some time (Mostly Old WoD, specifically ( Read more... )

In between work, trying to type up a story, and run missions on EvE, I was tempted to cancel the EvE missioning and do some mining instead, since that would give me a chance to read while I mine and my drones keep the space pirates off me, but I got to work on raising my faction rep points... Ahhh, the troubles of a geek. :: laughs ( Read more... )

Volume 8 of the former and the infamous volume 7 of the latter. I was tempted to make the trek to the Borders in Burlington, clad as Harry Dresden, but I neglected to carve myself a wizard's staff, and there was no way I could scare up a hockey stick quickly, so I just opted to go as myself. Drat that Harry Potter for gumming up Borders' orders, ( Read more... )

Work has been keeping me busy, and I've been writing more lately. I'm taking up more of the 31_days challenges that I have horribly neglected, and I've been tinkering with some too-long neglected fics in progress. I recently posted the last chapter of "Along a Knife's Blade", the "A.I."/"Blade Runner" crossover I'd started a long time ago -- and oddly ( Read more... )
