1. The copy of Trying to Save Piggy Sneed that I ordered came in! (The joy of working at the library is processing my own Interlibrary loans.)

2. My mother-in-law called and left me a voice mail to let me know she’s ODing on Doctor Who, and it’s all my fault.

3.  I got enough sleep for the first time in what seems like forever, so I’m not a ( Read more... )

I got all fangirly over Orphan Black, and I am too lazy to do more than link to it. Yay!

I have written a very long thing, with lots of parentheses, called "I did not cry when the Doctor regenerated." And despite the lack of footnotes, I am too lazy to re-post it over here. So if you're interested in why I didn't cry when the Doctor regenerated, hop on over and check it out.

I have a confession to make, y'all.

I read fan fiction. Glee fanfic, to be precise. I actually haven't read fanfic since Buffy, and I could sit here and analyze the hell out of why I feel that Glee lends itself better to fanfiction than Buffy did, and why I can't read Doctor Who fanfic at all, but that is not the post I want to make today. (Or ( Read more... )

So 2011 was the Year of Change, and 2012 was the year of What the Fuck?

So let's do a highlights reel:

Hurrah!

1. I sold "The Drowned Man" to Beneath Ceaseless Skies2. I got a new job, which I like, working with a group of people that I like and who actually seem to get my geeky, sarcastic sense of humor. It's a steady paycheck, which is a ( Read more... )

1. The Z is feeling better, and I am, too. Physically, anyway. I'm currently in a sort of foggy, blah mental state--too much stress, living in limbo sucks (in some ways, I am right there with Blaine and Brittany, baby)--and none of my escapism is actually letting me escape! (see below)

I told Scott today that I'm ready for different stress. ( Read more... )

Yay, Doctor Who is back! Yay!

[Spoiler (click to open)]I dunno, though, I'm still having trouble with the idea of River as Amy and Rory's kid--not so much that she is, but because it seems like ... well, I personally, a week after having my baby, would have been grabbing the Doctor by the bow tie and telling him to screw all of time and space, we are going to find my ( Read more... )

Today I took the boy to the beach after school, which was a fun surprise for him. It hit me suddenly last week that there are only two more weeks left of the semester, and once we get back from Disney, I'm working afternoons through to evenings four days a week, and until late afternoon on Fridays. There just aren't going to be days like this ( Read more... )

A cold, a new semester (with attendant craziness) starting, and now I'm sort of catching up with my own life and brain.

In his summary of 2011 in webzines, Rich Horton mentions "Items" in his overview of Strange Horizons. Yay ( Read more... )

A friend asked me what I thought of the finale of Doctor Who, and so I figured I'd blog about it in an attempt to sort out my thoughts before I reply to him. :)

[Massive Spoilers!]Well, let's see.

Stuff I Liked1. Amy and her revenge on the Evil Eyepatch Woman. Because I am telling you now, you did that to my kid and I'd have been hijacking the TARDIS to track ( Read more... )
