I just caved and bought Poldark on DVD; even though we're only on Ep. 3 here in the US.

I bought it knowing I would end up binge watching it as soon as it arrives; even though I'm supposed to be writing.

I bought it; even though I've turned into complete Poldark trash and have watched each episode twice (something I rarely do ( Read more... )

There's too much stuff happening today, so let's see if I can hit them all:

1. "May the 4th Be With You"

Unofficially today is "Star Wars Day" so to all the Star Wars fans, happy May 4th. I have seen a lot of Star Wars resurgence on Tumblr and people coming out of the woodwork for Star Wars since the extended trailer hit. I guess 2015 is the year ( Read more... )

My hand on a Bible, I swear I was going to start (earnestly) on The Book today.

That was, until Thursday, when someone on ohnotheydidnt posted the Wikipedia page of People Who Have Disappeared Mysteriously, which leads to the list of unsolved deaths, and I found the Taman Shud Case (Warning: The dead guy's dead face is RIGHT THERE when you open the page. It ( Read more... )

Some randomness updates, I guess:

1. We can downgrade from Level Green to Level Yellow because I didn't have to go into jury duty!

Some updates:

1. Reason #Oh-I-Can't-Even-Keep-Track-Now why I shouldn't be allowed to engage in the "outside" world when I'm trying to write things: This week's Sleepy Hollow (the one with The Weeping Lady) sent my brain into a tizzy for a story idea that I've been waffling on. I'm scrambling now to get some research and plot things pinned down in ( Read more... )

First, let's all admire the new layout. Oooh, ahhh. I wanted something to match my tumblr; and this what three days of coding, re-coding, losing half the code sheet after a copy-paste accident, and saying to hell with it!, results in. (If I never see/type another layout code again, I'd be very pleased.)

Second, A Doctor Who Re-watch update...or ( Read more... )

So after much hemming and hawing, I've gotten Tumblr: thewriter-anachronism.

I'm ashamed to admit that it's a mess right now. I'm reblogging and liking a lot of things I've had links to concerning The Book*, along with other random things that catch my fancy (favorite books, movies, tv shows, etc.) (God help us all when Homeland, Doctor Who, and ( Read more... )

...you receive a birthday postcard from your car insurance agent--a guy you've never had a conversation with, let alone met--wishing you a happy 25th birthday. I think it's nice...once I got over the shock of seeing "25" written out. (I'm so old!) Not to mention this is the first birthday postcard I've gotten from him in ever ( Read more... )

Or, as it's known around my house, December 21st.

Since Australia and New Zealand are still around, I think it's safe to say that, once again, an end-of-days prophecy has failed to live up to its prophetic destiny. Ah, well; maybe one day. (For the record, I wasn't too worried about the Mayan Prophecy. I'm more worried about everyone else who ( Read more... )
