Things I Want/Need To Read ( Read more... )

I'm doing a lot of nurse-blog stuff over at A Stethoscope of My Own on Dreamwidth, but it's all crossposting here for ease of flist reading. I mostly started another blog just so I'd have a place to direct friends and family members that isn't at all connected to my LJ. It's a little weird and paranoid I know, but my brain works best when things ( Read more... )

Here's a list of all the stuff I've packed up to get rid of so far. Anything you're interested in is yours for the cost of shipping. Anything leftover is going to my local charity store. :)

So we managed to shut off the alarm on the Kamber car, get it started, add 1.5L of oil and drive it around, with a pause to put air in the tires. So far so good. IT LIVES!

I keep stealing moments to read a little bit of Huckleberry Finn (my current book) but it's taken me a whole week just to get 2/3 of the way through, so I'm not holding out much hope for my ( Read more... )

Today is January 7th. For those of you not following along at home, that puts it at dead of winter here in the northern hemisphere ( Read more... )

Super-spoilery Joss interview (audio and transcript). It made me feel better. Thanks to ravenscanaryI think my Big Damn Movie party was a raging success. There was (of course) Serenity, costumes, good food, lots of alcohol, snuggling, many DVDs, fanwhoring and many other fun things. Aside from the mounds of empty soda cans and stack of dirty dishes things ( Read more... )

Two posts in one day! Shockhorror!

I was just thinking as I was driving home about the weird dream I had last night -- I was in a mall with rewtroy and I was shopping for shoes. Then all these terrorist-y type explosions started happening and the police were just arresting everyone they could find. Jeff and I ran out of the mall but as we were in the ( Read more... )
