I did in fact stop in at Home Depot last night to pick up a new light bulb for my bathroom (everyone I mentioned this to was surprised but it's not like they carry 3 ft. long fluorescent bulbs in Duane Reade. Or maybe they do and I just can't find them), and then when I climbed up onto the toilet to install it, I discovered that the reason the old ( Read more... )

I posted birthday fic for Steve yesterday:

I want to take a breath that's true (at AO3)
Captain America; Steve/Bucky; g; 2,225 words
In which Steve and Bucky have breakfast in Central Park and hash out some stuff.

And reena-jenkins posted podfic of "This Carnival Life", which is the Steve/Bucky birthday story I wrote in 2012 ( Read more... )

Most of the email I get these days is from the Long Island Railroad, letting me know that there is trouble on the Ronkonkoma branch. Most of the time, I'm just grateful I only take it once a month and don't have to deal with all the problems on a regular basis. After posting a story, though, there's nothing sadder than seeing you have a new email ( Read more... )

Both yesterday and today, the alt-text on Dinosaur Comics has cracked me up. If I ever get a dog of my own, I might have to seriously consider naming it Rex Luthor.

Last night, mousapelli told me they were having crazy thunderstorms where she was, and that they were likely headed in my direction. Smash cut to sometime after 1 am and being woken up by HUGE ( Read more... )

I maybe stayed up too late last night, reading, and now I am kind of completely brainfried. Luckily, today has been a quiet day at work so far (tomorrow will be busy), and I can coast by on the pair of braincells I've got left, which are mostly devoted to going, "NEW SPN TONIGHT! WHEE!" even though this episode concerns me.

Speaking of SPN, I haven' ( Read more... )

My niece and nephew came over and we had a nice family game of May I, which possibly was one of the most intense games I've played. We started out this time with four decks of cards instead of the usual two (we always have to add at least one more for the last hand anyway), so you'd think it would have been easier, but no. It's like, you KNOW there ( Read more... )

There's been some talk lately about feedback ( here, here, and here), and I keep kicking this post around in my head, debating whether I really want to get into it again or not. Obviously I decided I did, mostly so I could stop thinking about it and go back to thinking about the stories I want to write ( Read more... )

Today was a busy day. I had to ( Read more... )
