Man, Chicago was cold. DC is ... cold. Does anyone have a pair of those gloves that you can use with touchscreens? Do they work?

Monday randomness.

Okay. Here’s my fandom/LJ question of the day. With a poll!

You’ve taken a chance on an author you’ve never read before, or someone who’s been recced to you, or someone who leaves some good clever feedback on a third party’s fic that you also enjoyed. You go to his/her LJ to see what else he/she has written.

Folks, thanks for the emails. I am fine: I got on the metro right after the crash but didn’t even know about it until I got home. It’s so awful, but if there’s a silver lining, it’s that it was a train going into the city. The casualties could have been so much worse ( Read more... )

Like everyone else, I'm chomping at the bit for 2x09, but it's also nice to get a bit of a breather! Which is to say, I'm drowning a little in work and the end of the semester and lots of travel keeping me afk, so the mini-hiatus is alright by me.

Speaking of mini-hiatus, a mini-poll to satisfy my curiosity. Nannish just posted [ this ficlet ] ( Read more... )
