There has been a lot of bad news in my life lately (not for me personally, but for people I love and am close to -- serious health problems, impending operations, the sudden death of my uncle), so it was lovely to open my e-mail the other day and find out some really fantastic news for a change:

Seldom have I ever been so glad to have one of my predictions proven wrong.

On the other hand, the suspicion I had but didn't elaborate on here, as to the way this particular case would end? I was right about that part.

Roundup time! I just keep finding links to amazing things so I have to share them with you all.

I fail at holidays, so I have no timely New Year's post full of resolutions and thoughtful looks back at the year that was, or anything of that sort. I did, however, finish revising Chapter Eight of Knife (although it feels like a bit of a cheat, since I am splitting the original much-too-long chapter into two, so technically I'm only half finished ( Read more... )

Oh, House. You let me down so much last week, and then you turn around and deliver one of the best episodes ever.

*wipes away tear*

Well, wow. Thanks, Thomas L. Moran, whoever you are. I never realized that I could hate everybody on this show except Foreman, Cuddy, and Chase. But you made it look so easy ( Read more... )
