I'm not a big drinker, but for years--since before it was legal again in the US--I've wanted to try absinthe. Well, our gamer brought some over today with the pizza he brought for dinner.  So I finally got to try it. I knew I didn't like the taste of licorice before we began, but ugh! This was like drinking Nyquil, which I never thought of as ( Read more... )

No, I am not pissed off. It's just a related icon.

I'm trying to read Anne Bishop's latest Black Jewels book, Twilight's Dawn. It's been hard going. I made a little progress yesterday and today. I have heard spoilers (though apparently not all of them), and it has made me very, very reluctant to finish the book.

I know there are still people who have me on their list that I do not want to be anywhere around me. Why are you people still bothering when you couldn't be bothered to say a single sympathetic word to me in six damn months? You couldn't say good-bye when I finally felt driven to quit the comm by being censored and ignored and "watched" for heinous ( Read more... )

We just finished watching Mobile Suit Gundam Wing on Sunday night, and watched Endless Waltz last night. I'm still a litle stunned.

That was mostly ( Read more... )

Unoriginal title, I know, considering what most of the country looks like today. It looks like we got more than a foot, though it's hard to tell with some of the drifts being waist-high. It's above our knees out in front of the building. I'll have a few pictures up soon-ish ( Read more... )

This is somewhat an addition to the previous post. My apologies if you cannot see it. Part of it was my response to re-watching Watchmen.

And because of that, I found this nifty little fic about Adrian and Bubastis: Retribution by Kadorienne. Don't read if you don't want to be spoiled by parts of the ending. It's referencing the graphic novel, ( Read more... )

Today is supposed to be the coldest this winter. It hasn't gotten there yet. Temps are still in the low 20's ( Read more... )
