i meant to do some early editing on my bigbang today, and instead i wrote the author's note and thought about next year's bang. >.< not what i planned, but i like the idea i have for next year, and author's notes are always fun. more people should write them for their bangs. one of the people sitting at the next table had a tattoo on their ankle ( Read more... )

there were fireworks in boston tonight! tamalinn and i went down to the waterfront to see them. much less crowded than fourth of july fireworks, probably because who sets off fireworks for labor day? right? it's not a firework holiday. they were fun, tho. there are some things you just never outgrow ( Read more... )

may the fourth be with you!

What I just finished reading:
damnificados, which i totally bought on a whim and really enjoyed. it was utopian and dystopian and magical realism-ish to the end, with an uplifting ending.

What I am reading now:
i finished damnificados on the bus home, so i'm ( Read more... )

guess who forgot to set her alarm clock last night and was thus late for work! >.< i'm supposed to be at work at 8:30, right? i woke up at 8:15. >.< i made it out of the house in fifteen minutes, and that's including the time it took me to make my lunch. i don't think anyone really cared, but i stayed a little late to make up for it ( Read more... )

since i last posted, i went to one actual seder and one it's-not-a-seder-it's-just-dinner, hosted writing group, made what i think is progress on my bigbang, thought of a (possibly preliminary) title for said bang, was bored at work, watched fargo like three times altho really only paid attention once, watched vikings (and am watching it again :D ( Read more... )

it's 11-12-13 for those of you who write the date with the day first. nifty!

i'm behind two days for the 30 days of babble meme. *sigh* first, dec 9, for tesserae_, is my least favorite travel destination, and why? (or, if i've liked every place i've been, which one do i feel i never need to go back to.) i generally like the places i visit, mostly because ( Read more... )

happy bastille day, mes amis. :D this calls for a croissant.

yesterday i was walking down to the coffeehouse that's right down the street (and which closed right about when i got there >.< ) and was waylaid by a couple guys sitting on their front steps so they could tell me how cool the tattoo on my arm is. one of them said it reminded him of ( Read more... )
