It's finally hit me that fall has arrived. The turning leaves, the cold, crisp mornings, the waking up when it's still dark outside, the necessity of hats and gloves. It really seems to have snuck up on me, and it was just over this weekend when I realized we're two weeks into October already! Maybe because we had such a mild summer, fall didn't ( Read more... )

Well, it's September. Summer will be almost officially over soon. :( I have to say, it was a strange Summer, mainly because we truly only seemed to have true Summer weather for about a week. The rest of it felt more like a perpetual late Spring. It was Sprummer. That's what it was ( Read more... )

I should think that if you have a company named (I am not making this up) "Linotype-Hell," then you ought to have the sense to build an ad campaign around the phrase "Go to Linotype-Hell." Commercials will be built around humorous juxtaposition, and hilarity will ensue ( Read more... )

This weekend seemed to be the time to finish old things and start new things. Specifically, I finally finished 20th Century Boys (though I'm not *quite* done yet; I still have the 16-chapter 21st Century Boys to read). I also started Space Channel 5 Part 2, which is just as wonderously nutty as the original, only the computer graphics are much ( Read more... )

So, yeah...those other projects and goals I mentioned? I wrote them down.

There are a lot of them.

However, few of them are necessarily vital and none of them are particularly pressing or overwhelming. So I can break them down into easy-to-manage monthly lists!

Here we go...

Non-Creative Goals:
-Replace windshield wipers on car-Make dental ( Read more... )

So this morning I had planned to get up early, go shopping then go to a bridal shower in the afternoon. Well, I managed to get up out of bed and eat breakfast before I came to the conclusion that I felt like a piece of crap, and just did not want to leave the apartment. I wasn't running a fever or anything, but I just felt tired and upset and ( Read more... )

Oh, Heroes, how you make me insane with glee. Or maybe you just make me insane. This long-anticipated episode (we were seriously counting down the hours) came through on its promise, though personally I thought it was a little clunky at first. But oh, the ending was worth it! Hiro, you'd better succeed in your mission, or your world will suck ( Read more... )
