So, yes, I'm doing great at this whole "remembering to post regularly" thing, aren't I? By which I mean, you know, not at all. /o ( Read more... )

What book did you give up on that you regret giving up on?

Believe it or not, The HobbitOh, don't get me wrong, I went back and read it eventually! The first three times that I tried, though, I gave up on it. The writing style just didn't grab me, even though I was a kid at the time (something like 6, 8, and 10?), and I just couldn't make it ( Read more... )

As I mentioned in my last post, I've been doing a lot of reading lately since things have calmed down at Unnamed Nonprofit. (On my phone, if that wasn't clear.) While, for the most part, it's been books that I've been reading, there have been a few fics that I've read (or, more specifically, re-read) recently, that I wanted to mention ( Read more... )

Wow. I'd forgotten what it was like to post a fic in an actual active fandom.

Twenty-four hours later, and that 1000 word fic that I churned out in 30 minutes has 14 comments (well, 7 comments plus my replies), 105 kudos, 11 bookmarks, and 770 hits. Who'da thunk it?

From helenllama: Middle Earth.

Okay, fair warning: this is a very broad topic, so there's a good chance this post is going to be a lot of aimless rambling.

The first time I tried to read The Hobbit, I was somewhere around 6. I got maybe a few pages in before deciding that it wasn't even remotely to my taste and giving up. The same thing happened when I ( Read more... )

I haven't seen The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies yet, even though it's technically out now in the States. In fact, I'm probably not going to see it until at least this weekend, for a variety of reasons.

... well, two reasons. 1. I've read the book, so I know at least three things that are going to happen in the movie, and I'm really not in ( Read more... )

Oh, wow. It's been forever since I made one of these posts, hasn't it? But, hey, it's Time Change night and my sleep schedule's about to be fucked beyond belief (not helped by the fact that I, uh, accidentally took a three hour nap this afternoon - oops?), so why not? Have some links that I've found interesting over the past few weeks ( Read more... )

Unnamed Nonprofit continues to be ridiculously busy. The phones have slowed down a tiny bit, but I think that's more because they've got a bunch of people in other departments helping answer calls rather than because people have stopped calling. Other work continues piling up as well, because we just can't get work done because the phones don't ( Read more... )

Let's see, what's going on in my life right now? It's quite a bit, so let's make this post in list format, shall we ( Read more... )

As those of you who follow me on Facebook, Tumblr, and/or Twitter probably already saw, I ended up going to a midnight showing of The Hobbit on Thursday night/Friday morning. I came straight home from work on Thursday, took a nap, and then headed to a nearby theater a little before 11pm ( Read more... )
