I bet you'd thought I'd forgotten this little project. Or fallen off the face of the earth. Or something like that. I am still here, and adjusting to my new prescription for SSRIs. The nausea, dizziness, and inability to sleep are fading, and I'm starting to feel much better. Hopefully soon my ability to focus will return. Meanwhile, during ( Read more... )

So, our seemingly endless parade of debacles now includes my neck locking up again (although I can handle this better now), and brand new fun of our kitchen sink backing up, overflowing into the dishwasher, and leaking out of some under-kitchen pipes (or something) into the living room rug. As

So, I'm not going to talk about the interminable awfulness of the week that followed last Monday's traffic jam situation. We're moving on, and we're talking about three things that make me happy today. Fair warning, two of them are Kickstarters. They make me happy because they're people trying to do things. I know everyone's broke right now, so ( Read more... )

I'm not done with my 100 Media Reviews project, or my pile o' fanfic, so this isn't the time to start something new. But as 10AM hit this morning and I got off a highway taking me the wrong direction, having sat through two traffic jams and knowing there was another one waiting when I managed to turn around, I sat in a friendly little sandwich ( Read more... )

So, I've already received my rejection letter for my adorable little story. Alas -- the editors wanted glam rock-inspired, which I did... but my story was "Lady Stardust" and the anthology's mood is looking to be more "Suffragette City", as it were. So I'll send it to another publisher, and maybe they'll have a home for it ( Read more... )

As Monday rolls around, I find myself absolutely stymied as to which of my two top picks for weekly review I want to work on. They'll both be equally interesting (to me), and both equally difficult due to the nature of the media. The first is the new adaptation of Les Misérables, which I finally got to see yesterday and probably needs no ( Read more... )

The weekend started so well. But then Cloud had a panic attack during cat therapy, which escalated within about two tenths of a second to a knock-down-drag-out fight with Sephiroth, which is going to set us back at least a few weeks in the reintegration process.

::sigh and sadface::

Let's talk about happier things.

If you looked at the posters for this movie and said, "Wow. I bet that's going to be terrible," I assure you, you were right. If you looked at the posters and said, "Oh man. That looks awesome!" you were also right. You probably knew at first glance if it was the kind of movie you'd enjoy. Me? I love movies that are this kind of terrible. ( Read more... )

I cannot promise that this will be the only Naruto post I do, and it's by no means going to cover everything I think about the series (or even a notable percentage of everything) because I think a lot of things about the series, most of which I haven't had time to sort through recently because of Life(TM). Then again, I can't say these posts are ( Read more... )

Work, work, work all the time makes Skinner's blog a bit thin, doesn't it? Never a spare moment to make a silly Doumeki AMV to "Sh-Boom Sh-Boom", which has been running through my head all day.

... ... ...

I'm just going to do my review, I think, before the silly goes too far. Although I stand by that AMV idea. At any rate, this week's media ( Read more... )
