LJ, I would ask you where the last month has gone, but I know where the last month has gone: into the copyediting void. I took a freelance gig for my old boss, which ate up all my time and brainpower (but paid well, so)--and now that I'm done, I'm all, boooorn freeeee, as free as the wind bloooows. I can do WHATEVER I WANT ( Read more... )

So, it's about that time!

Tomorrow's moving day--the car's mostly packed (voila, 12 of 12), the iPod's loaded up with new podcasts for the drive, and all I can say is that my twenty-five-year-old self would definitely not have believed this. I'm thrilled and terrified--afraid to leave but ready to go--which, is there a word for this? There must be ( Read more... )

Day 05 - A show you hate


( Read more... )

- I'm in L.A.! Briefly. Hanging with midtownmandy + rotatingpies + quassibly; thus far there has been the watching of Modern Family and fall pilots, the running of party errands, the eating of pie (at the appropriately named House of Pies), the browsing of a v. good bookstore, the watching of good Glee ("The Power of Madonna" and "Sectionals"), and the breaking of a decades-long ( Read more... )

I must be home from LA: I'm wearing a sweater and Sherlock's trying to molest my laptop. I think he's been lonely.

My mini-break was great fun; Friday, I drove down I-5 and dropped in on nicolemack for dinner and sorbet, plus spontaneous office supplies and a trip to Michael's, before heading on to stay with friends in Westlake Village. Saturday was a big ( Read more... )

Why I love the internet: recently, upon watching "Chuck vs. the Truth" (I'm going through a bit of a thing lately), I decided to ask the internets for an Awesome montage. And lo, it was at my beck and call! Say it with me now: That is...outstanding! Lock it out.

Speaking of, ( How much did I love Chuck vs. the Beard? )

You guys, I have to go to bed and then get up and drive to California(!), so stop posting interesting items about which I have things to say, okay? I need my beauty rest. All this to say that some of you may be getting late comments to recent posts, after I am not a zombie anymore ( Read more... )

I totally want to do that Thirty Days meme that's floating around, but it strikes me that this is maybe not the best time. Maybe January, when I am unemployed and living with my parents, so as to be a special kind of internet cliche? How about that? I think so.

(Did I tell you all what I really am going to do, though? Buffy. Since I have no plans ( Read more... )

Oh, man, I have a lot to say about knitting and Bones.

(Do you think this is why I'm still single?)

Rhinebeck was delightful and delicious, as, by the way, am I. carmen_sandiego and girlunravelled and I orchestrated a James Bond-style precision rendezvous on board the Metro North train to Poughkeepsie, and from there rented a car and drove to our super-picturesque vacation ( Read more... )

The entire agenda for my evening is as follows: 1) Acorn Squash with Chile-Lime Vinaigrette; 2) watch Glee; 3) knit; 4) pack for Rhiiinebeck! Which is tomooooorrow, sort of!

Anything else and I will just burst, or else collapse and not wake up until Thanksgiving. Which would be bad, because then I would miss all the knitting, and seeing carmen_sandiego(The sad ( Read more... )
