I've mentioned before that this process of weeding out belongings also stirs up memories, and then seeing someone I went to school with twenty years ago at the freaking Oscars threw a little whirlwind into that, dragging out ancient things in more detail than I would have said that I remembered them. I suppose my brain was primed for that, ( Read more... )

Strange day. I spent a good chunk of the afternoon in bed - slept so long that the persistent headache has only just faded in the last hour or two. I find that I'm reluctant to begin any real work as I meant for today to be a true day off, but I'm also itchy to get stuff done. Which is sort of an interesting state of affairs as I readily admit to ( Read more... )

Got my hair cut today (hence the venturing out into the snow, as I'd already confirmed et al) and as the new phone has a camera function with slightly better resolution than the crappy digital camera I have (and how sad is that, really), I took a picture or two. ( Kinda blurry but oh well. )

Edited my end-of-year fic round-up to include the one poem and the one original ficlet that I did this year, too. I forgot the first time around as they're on language_play, not tasyfafiction! I post so little there as it's mainly just to have an online archive somewhere ( Read more... )

So tired. I don't like ten hour days, dude. Especially when I'm broody but also too tired to stop all the retarded circular thinking. At least the thing for which I was the on-call expert type person did not end up eating my entire day, which I had feared given all the questions last week! But I guess they were better prepared to go live than we ( Read more... )

September 24, 2003 is when I arrived here (three days before Hurricane Juan smacked the city; I do have excellent timing *rolls eyes*). I was, in a word, a mess. Today, I am...less messy. I shall never be a nice, neat little package but I'm okay with that. I dislike perfection anyway. My head is back on straight (so to speak :P) and I need to lose ( Read more... )

First off: missalee!!! I got it!!! :D :D I'll check it on the weekend and let you know if I need any help. Thank you ( Read more... )

Mainly to share this: Leave by Glen Hansard, from the soundtrack to Once (lyrics). The lyrics as read don't *nearly* convey the passionate anguish of the song. So, SO good. I seem to have an affinity for songs entitled Leave; MB20's of the same name was what turned me into a fan of theirs ( Read more... )

I have... *peers at clock* ...just over an hour before I have to leave the house to pick up K so we can go out tonight. We're going to another Pink Velvet Burlesque show - IIRC, it's called Strummin' and Strippin': boys with guitars and girls without much on. Should be fun. I *was* looking forward to it, but right now, I really don't feel like ( Read more... )

I've read - and remembered - some thought-provoking things today and wanted to share. :-)

From Feministe, a discussion on one of the postcards posted in last Sunday's PostSecret blog. (PS has an RSS feed on LJ, too: postsecret, for those interested.) The discussion in the comments is most interesting. pnkrokhockeymom subsequently posted her comment on her LJ with links ( Read more... )
