I have what would probably be considered an odd habit whenever I collect books in the library: I blow on the top of them. After years of picking up books off of the shelves I find that even books that have sat for just two years can accumulate a lot of dust, much more than you would imagine could be there after two years. It's worse in the Annex ( Read more... )

I suddenly realized that I'm so behind on everything LJ. I have an inbox full of unanswered items in my regular journal, a good chunk of unreplied to comments on my fic journal (those bother me the most; people take their time to comment and the least I can do is reply back!), and I still haven't done a damn thing. I have uploaded a bunch of ( Read more... )

Well, feeling better today after a nice session with the chiropractor that completely melted away any stress I had from the weekend. For an extra $10 before my session, the massage was so worth it. Wasn't as happy when the chiropractor cracked my neck in five different places but at least I feel better physically. And I have an enormous amount of ( Read more... )

I haven't been on LJ since Friday, minus my extra newsletter posting, so apologies for not being around. Here's the short list of what happened over my three-day weekend:

1. Mother and step-dad came home from Utah on Saturday. I spent a couple of hours that day grabbing food, looking for my regular magazines (come on B&N! I want my Edge and Games!), ( Read more... )

So, in the span of writing my latest fic, which was based on a set of wonderful lyrics, I have listened to "Delicate" twenty times. Twenty frakking times, minus a few SafetySuit songs put in there as part of playlist. Just look! Now I'm constantly listening to "Delicate" and I can't get it out of my head. I blame you sapphire_child! Although, really, it's a good ( Read more... )

So, yeah, my state is fairing too well in this storm. A woman was swept away by flood waters and is presumed dead, numerous small towns and even the capital is pretty much flooded (or will be flooded) before Monday morning, and 43,000 people are without power. Explains why my internet is so sluggish ( Read more... )

Alright, off to write something before the power goes out on me and I get pissed off. It's been raining since I woke up this morning, and the roads on my street are all ready saturated -- I hear people hydroplane every time they fly past this one section right outside my window -- and flash flooding is certainly a possibility. The only thing I'm ( Read more... )

Alright, I'm going to go on another one of my writing sprees. An hour to an hour and a half on my project, hopefully give something redcirce to angst over for a while as I continue to do my writing sprees. I was planning on writing more but I had to do the dreaded laundry and grocery shopping (which included a huge splurge on some ice cream :D). These ( Read more... )

Alright, I'm going to sit here for an hour (or more like another 45 minutes) just writing and listening to music. I don't care what I write, so currently I'm working on a Dr. Horrible fic, but I just need to do something My brain is itching, it's craving some creativity, and I can hear it yelling inside of my head, reverberating against the inside ( Read more... )

Today is the long awaited day that I'm supposed to make my announcement about my new project ( Read more... )
