Happy New Year, flist! I was definitely asleep by 10:30. I did catch Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin at 9, so that was my celebration. I have no regrets.

I'm excited to see everyone's Yuletide reveals! I didn't get very far at all this year, aside from reading your recs. I'm still in the A-fandoms. Part of that is I've been engrossed in the ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday, hoshi_reed!

I feel like I should have something more substantial to post, as weekends have been surprisingly busy around here. What is this social life business, and why does it seem to happen in fits and bursts? Other status updates:

Reading: Spook Country, purchased at the airport after I finished re-re-re-(*20)reading Pattern Recognition ( Read more... )

This Heroes pre-show thing is entertaining, but I really wish they'd get around to talking about the end of last season, because I cannot remember what happened for my life. *facepalm ( Read more... )

I fail so badly at birthdays this year!

( If you had a birthday recently... )

The beastliness of the past two days has turned into happy place weather - sunny and in the eighties. Mmm, eighties. There's a street fair this weekend at which I spent a couple of hours today.

In the spirit of getting myself sorted out, I've been doing a little catch-up on LJ and realized that I've fallen behind on friendings. It seems there are some new people hanging around, so welcome, and I apologize for not following through on my userinfo promise. Before I go ahead and do that, I do want to distinguish between active readers of ( Read more... )

I feel like I need madlori's shelves in the closet icon, because today's dilemma involves storage.  My books and media have exceeded what limited shelf space I have.  I am really not interested in acquiring more major furniture pieces at this point, since I'm theoretically going to be moving in six months and would like to get a whole slew of real ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday, Syddle!I was a good little domestic bunny today!  I did a massive cleaning of the whole kitchen, living room, hallway, and the bathroom floors.  I would've done the rest of the bathroom, but my allergies got out of control, so that's for tomorrow.  This was all on the pretext of having to rearrange some cabinet space to make room ( Read more... )

I have discovered new cookie crack, and that is Trader Joe's Lemon Crisps.  Lemony, chocolatey, crispy goodness.  I am d00med, I tell you ( Read more... )

Over the summer, my desk turned into a storage table.  I cleaned it off last week in hopes of resuming my old routine of computer at the desk during weekdays, on the bed on weekends.  Still haven't made it back to the desk.  I don't wanna go back!  *clings ( Read more... )
