What have I been doing with my life since Christmas? Here, have a handy bulleted list.

• Writing essays like my life depends on it (which is kinda does aaaarrrgh)

• Using said essays as an opportunity to hate on Thomas Edison and the Prince Regent, so that's kind of cool

• Working on Penny!fic for origfic_bingo 

• Working on a new episode of Internet Book Club- I have ( Read more... )

Okay! It is fairly obviously no longer my birthday so I think I'd better put something up here to move that post down a bit. Things have calmed down here now, and everything's winding up for the Christmas holidays. Also, I've been learning today about some of the history of fanfiction and basically admitted in a seminar that I write Doctor Who fic ( Read more... )

It's come to my attention that today is National Poetry Day! I love poetry (I'm doing my dissertation on John Milton, so I'd better) and I thought I'd mark the occasion by putting up a poem I like very much, by one of my favourite women poets: Charlotte Mew.

Wrote something for 09/09/09 today at the Hetalia comm.

England's reaction is very closely modelled on my dad's, who was eleven when he heard the Beatles for the first time and grew up to be the Ringo in a Beatles tribute group, believe it or not. He was Not Keen on the idea of a Beatles: Rock Band, but he did like the opening cinematic. He's much ( Read more... )

Breaking news as a power cut cripples the internet in the Chessington area and many homes are left completley free of tubes. Our correspondent interviewed one bereft denizen of the nets.

"It's terrible. I can't get online at all and when I do I can't visit any of my usual comms because I'm at work or in a public library."
