Why Kiley, have you resorted to bullying Perpetua and procrastinating on your novel? But it's only Day 2!

( Yeah, but in my defense: CHECK OUT MY AWESOME ASTRO BOY TOYS! )

Yesterday NPR re-ran an interview with CCH Pounder talking about her role as Detective Wyms on the FX channel's The Shield. I love Pounder's work on JLU as Amanda Waller - she's massively talented with voices, and I was impressed to learn how she tailors the inflections and speech patterns to the character ( Read more... )

I have a crazy amount of things to do this weekend before SDCC trip. It all boils down to organisation and concentration, both of which I sorely lack. See, I even forgot yesterday was OSJ post day ( Read more... )

Google says it's 94F and I can't disagree. Remember, no fans or aircon!

I don't know why I did it, I just did, and now I'm writing this through heavy-lidded eyes because of my sheer stupidity. Whatever possessed me to carry a 14lb cooler filled with ice and sodas ten minutes down the beach by my damn self?

Let's take a break from the recent heavy posts. This is just going to be a simple March roundup.

It'll be three months since I left the job, and I'm still at a loss at what to do next. I've been waiting to hear from another lawyer to see if there's another avenue to pursue, but the timing sucks. Speaking of which, work says they won't be able to ( Read more... )

Ah... yesterday was an unproductive day. Woke up extremely late, spent probably hours staring at rugby players, and eating twice-baked brownies. Finally around 12am I started work on the unnamed ficlet, but had to abandon it in favour of a Law and Order: Criminal Intent episode. Curse my laziness ( Read more... )

Sunday's the day of rest, you know :P

In fact, it was so lazy I didn't make it down the hill to pick up the newspaper. But who could blame me when outside the wind was howling like a wounded animal.
