Dear British Character Actors Named David...
...please stop breaking my heart with your brilliant acting. Seriously, I don't need any more love for the over-50 Davids, I have plenty as is.
*sniffs* 'Broken Bird,' episode 6.13 of NCIS, was absolutely brilliant, in other words - it's watchable online at cbs.com, and features a wonderful turn from Torri Higginson, better known to everyone as ( Read more... ) -
Yuletide Reveal
Waiting for the posole we made for New Year's to settle in my stomach and for another reveal for a single-fandom holiday story exchange to reply to those comments, and so the requisite Yuletide reveal post, if somewhat late. In the meantime, happy 2009, and may it be infinitely better than 2008 for everyone, everywhere. A quiet changing of the ( Read more... ) -
Spreading the Yuletide Giftage
It's such a treat, after opening gifts and munching on the second batch of tamales, to see what everyone got for Yuletide! I received an absolutely wonderful story, "A Wall-E Christmas,", which only makes waiting for the reveal even worse, since I want to kindly, kindly plead with the author for more. It's such an adorable, sweet, and somewhat ( Read more... ) -
C'est Finis
Barring final comments and what's sure to be a scandalous defense, the thesis of doom, at 160 odd pages total, is DONE.

More to come when my brain comes back to me. -
Dear Yuletide Author:
So, it's assignment day, and here, oh gracious Yuletide author, is my letter to you!

The Parvenu from Illinois
A very late postscript to an absolutely incredible, indescribable day - my sister and I went out after voting and I found myself unconsciously crossing my fingers the entire time, wanting to glimpse a TV if only to see the first results come in. So coming home to news of victory in PA was cause for a cautious though entirely celebratory yelp - ( Read more... ) -
Today in History
July 11, 1804
I feel I should have a glass of madeira tonight, or tomorrow, for the dear, and curl up with a copy of The Federalist Papers. Though speaking of, ainsley, remember when I mentioned the Hamilton/Madison pr0n in the lab? I found it ("Publius," somewhat down the page). Though not to alarm anyone, it's positively harmless. -
"You are harsh, madam." "I am cold."
I am finally, finally watching "John Adams." And why aren't you ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
Just passed the 4,000 word threshold on Chapter Three, although it's a sucktastic first draft - albeit one that sucks slightly less than the first drafts for previous chapters. And even though it's quick and dirty to write - I mean, it is academic smut after all - I've had a cold the past few days that make writing every sentence a rather painful ( Read more... ) -
needs moar Cicero, pls
It's late and I'm wiped and need to head to bed soonish, but the Getty Villa today, and getting to meet vandonovan = awesome, even if they only had ONE Cicero book in the gift shop, which was not a Loeb. Will post pictures soonish, for me, anyway - including a lovely new bronze Athene I picked up today. Now, if I start writing ridiculously long letters to ( Read more... )
