Mem...ory Monday?
If anyone remembers this, in 2007, I wrote my first SPN Big Bang, which was a ghost story set in my hometown, which has a canonical mention in S1 (hooray!), in part because I was tired of people writing about Athens, Ohio, as a college "with spires rising up from the flatness of the cornfields."

A good way to commemorate my 10-year anniversary of turning 21
There is not a lot to say about my second day of being 31, except that I learned a very important lesson about other people buying you drinks, which is keep eating, oh my god. I am more or less recovered, but yesterday was basically a big wash. Oh well? The birthday itself was pretty great. <3 ( Read more... ) -

( Movie posters, WWI posters, sacrilege, Neko Case, surprises from Google Earth, recipes, and oh god our democracy is doomed sometimes. ) -
They poisoned a billion coconuts?
So basically I've spent Thanksgiving sick as a damn dog, which continues the magnificent trend of me coming home to Athens and my immune system totally bailing on me for whatever reason. At least it wasn't food poisoning this time, and at least my parents were with me ( Read more... ) -

Nothin's worrying me
I had the strange experience of waking up this morning to hear my parents talking with someone downstairs. I thought I heard the voice of a dear friend of ours, so I raced downstairs (once I'd found my glasses, which keep disappearing) and found them leading two strangers through the house. It's a guy who really, desperately wants a house on our ( Read more... ) -
