I don't listen to the radio. This comes from not getting reception for 10 years in the country, so my main introduction to music is through "sampling" ::coughs:: One thing I love is the Triple J New Free Music feed, and today I found a song that resonates quite well.

I've not been doing so good in a mental kind of way (oh, hi, immersion in new fandoms/reading every Jane Austen fic on AO3, you are not good signs), but today has been full of shiny things and I want to make a list (plus, lists with links means other people might find something shiny, too).

So, yesterday I was told I had to rebuild Isabella /o\ I spent this morning in a bit of denial about it, not helped that my version of Overdoing It is a lot less than anyone else's version of Overdoing It, and this afternoon (after sleeping most of the day away) I opened her lid and... nothing happened. I checked her power. Connected. I tried a ( Read more... )

• Today I started wondering if fandomsecrets had gone on hiatus since I hadn't seen a post from them for a while. Then I remembered I stopped watching the community. I so smrt.
• Am currently more than a little scarily obsessed with cleolinda's Secret Life of Dolls. I actually had a dream about them last night. It was more than a little weird.

I got online to find that someone I always wanted to be closer to was killed in a hit-run. You know when you're already not going too well in the brain chemical stakes, that is really... not of the good. Not that it is ever of the good. But even less of the good. And my God, could I be more self-centred.

Save Hiatus (save_hiatus) was nice and distracting ( Read more... )
