OK, THIS is what I've been up to all this time while I've been neglecting this place. (That, and demon Facebook. Horrible stuff.)

Mixtape for the Apocalypse.My "jacket copy" for the normals ( Read more... )

I could go on about how nutzoid this weekend has been for me - it really hasn't been, but for someone who has been desperate to get some downtime and rest, I've mostly done exactly the opposite - but I'll keep it shorter and sweeter and just say that:

• Finally watched the final episodes of The Wire. The fact that I remained spoiler-free on a lot ( Read more... )

That's what the atmosphere feels like - cashmere. Very soft, gently warm, and always (no matter what color the cashmere's been dyed) gray ( Read more... )

Slept quite badly last night. Probably shouldn't have had that third drink, but it was still so early I figured I could get away with it. I guess it's a sign; no more alcohol until after I'm through the withdrawal process. (Sorry, squeakymonkey, we'll have to do Ringside some other time; this week is apparently not going to work. Dammit.) I'm exhausted and my ( Read more... )

More proof that Adrian Pasdar is the source of all that is good in the universe... reading a report about the AP doing an appearance at a recent anime convention (? eh? whatever), I happened to stumble across a link expressing excitement about the book I'm in charge of...

It had been a long time since a book did that to me, and I was very ( Read more... )

- I find that for sinuses ravaged by dry air both indoors and out, breathing through a damp paper towel placed over the face works a treat. Add a few drops of lavender oil, if you've got some. Ghetto humidifier ( Read more... )

I am very pleased to report that A DROP OF SCARLET is a fine read; enjoyable, intense, complex, and delightful. It's nice. I think I had just enough time away from it for me to approach it as an entirely new and separate experience; much like FIEND, I'm totally loving it and finding it difficult to put down. Yay. I can't wait until it's an actual ( Read more... )

Aw yeah. Finally got my copy of the LABYRINTH novelization (only a week later than expected). Bada bing. I'm king of the world. The entire craptacular morning just evaporated like bumblebee piss off a lightbulb and now I feel all sunshiny inside. Now, only time will tell if I did something really silly by spending $30 on a cheap, crumbling ( Read more... )

Gotten from nihilistic-kid, who was nice enough not to tag people - and I won't either. Participate if you wanna, though ( Read more... )
