I've been trying to write this post since tangleofthorns and I went to the Red Sox game two Fridays ago--the less said about that and the Red Sox as a whole this season the better--but last week was A. Week., I tell you what, so it's taken longer than anyone ever could've imagined. Anyway, on the long and humid walk home (with ice cream! strawberry rhubarb ftw ( Read more... )

using the framework of that weekly reading meme thing (with bonus stuff I'm watching) (also, yes, wrong day of the week, whatever, it's a start) to try to kickstart writing here a little more regularly, so--

So in an attempt to help me with my not!resolutions, I signed up for

So the Ference/Iginla unintentional coming out fic is in that horrible, no good, very bad "poke at it, delete some words, add a word, delete some more words, stare at the blinking cursor" stage, so I'm giving myself some time away from it to see if that knocks a few things lose. And this is where you come in, dearest internet! Tell me what to write ( Read more... )

1. Made this banana brown sugar ice cream (only, because none of the stores I stopped in on my way home had jaggery or piloncillo or, well, any unrefined cane sugars--I really went the wrong way home for that kind of shopping, and I was too impatient to wait another day--I used regular old brown sugar) and wow. So so good. Will be making again with ( Read more... )

(So for reasons that do not require explaining at this juncture, I get ESPN: The (World's Worst) Magazine. And this is the NEXT issue. And there's an article with Stephen Strasberg and Drew Storen--the Nats' two first rounders this year--and, man, it's entirely possible I ship it. By which I mean that I totally ship it ( Read more... )

So Harry Potter is over, huh? (Seriously, though, our mail carrier was totally off the ball with this one. First of all, we didn't get our books until 1:00, which, okay, did give us a chance to watch the 2004 World Series DVD Boxset special feature, Bronson Arroyo: Pitcher by Day, Musician by Night, but also caused much hand-wringing and, "if they ( Read more... )

1. My baby sister is graduating from college right now. She sits her boards in June, after which she will go on a cruise to Bermuda and start work in the emergency department of the hospital where she did her externship. She will also be, I predict, getting engaged any day now. I'm skipping her convocation, as I'll be going down to NJ in a few ( Read more... )

The other night, I dreamed that it was Yuletide, and I'd requested Full House fic for some reason. Because it was Yuletide, what I got was this brilliant Jesse/Danny/Joey story that totally got into the dynamics and politics of threesomes and relationships and even love itself; it spanned from Joey and Danny's first kiss (in high school) through ( Read more... )

I've been experiencing this strange sort of disconnect, lately, when it comes to television (& television fannishness, in particular). For instance, I can spend hours (no, really, hours, shut up) reading old Stones interviews and looking at pictures, searching out bootlegs and all-around being obsessive; I watched Goblet of Fire again Sunday night ( Read more... )
