Here's a link to the pics from our visit to the NYPL yesterday.

I guess I forgot to do the Wednesday reading meme, so:

What I've just finished

So I kind of got completely distracted from Going Clear by a reread of The Belgariad and The Malloreon, which are even worse than I remember and yet I have such deep nostalgic love for them, because I ( Read more... )

This morning, the line at Starbucks was literally out the door (and I do mean literally - I was standing outside, holding the door open) but strangely enough, L. and A2 showed up on line behind me. SO WEIRD. But A and A2 are staying at a hotel near my office, and L is staying with them while they're here, I guess, so we had a random chance ( Read more... )

Ugh, I'm having the kind of day where I type up a comment in response to someone's post and then realize that they probably don't care what I have to say so I just click out of it instead of posting. It's been that kind of week - I've been in bed by 10 the last two nights because I just couldn't keep my eyes open, despite sleeping well. So even ( Read more... )

After today I'm off for a bunch of days and it is really hard to get motivated to do the two things that I NEED to have done before I go.

I just have to refresh the character voices in my head, and I've kind of been avoiding it for ~reasons~ (if I told you the reasons, you'd probably guess what the source was so ( Read more... )

Happy birthday to two lovely ladies I'm so glad I've gotten know over the years: innie_darling and tenaciousmetoo! ♥♥♥♥♥

I don't really talk politics on this journal, but I do talk Bruce Springsteen, so, via

I know I have only myself to blame when I read things that I'm pretty sure are just going to make me ragey, and I'm pretty good about not doing that because I have enough rage in my life without seeking it out, but yesterday, the #0 issue of the rebooted World's Finest came out and I couldn't resist. I mean, I am angry that the Huntress I know and ( Read more... )

So I read some comics this week.

Let's get the RAGE POST out of the way first.

I have been enjoying Miles Morales' story in Ultimate Spider-man. He's a wee adorable middle-schooler who shouldn't have to deal with the problems being a superhero - let alone being Spider-man, in the shadow of Peter Parker's tragic death - brings, but he's trying to ( Read more... )
