I'm quite sure my friends page is at something like "skip=10billion" -- sorry for anything important I've missed. Had a lotta Life happening. Will attempt (later) to sum up. But at least I'm able to log back onto ElJay and start reading again.

Oh, yeah, haven't seen this hitting the f-list really yet, so the good news for Cumberbatch-Hobbit fans is that he will indeed be voicing Smaug in the new movie. Cumber!Dragon, FTW! The fact the Necromancer's in there means that Jackson's probably going to be futzing with the story even more than he did in LOTR, which should piss me off, but the ( Read more... )

Man, been a crazy couple weeks. Three weekends ago was "OMG NORWESCON!", the weekend after that was "OMG RENAISSANCE FAIR" and then this weekend just past was, "CLEAN ALL THE THINGS!"

. . . Or, rather, my Thanksgiving travel plans are cancelled. For the second day in a row, my flight out has been a no-go (the first time due to weather conditions, this second time due to a mechanical error that couldn't be fixed in time to get me to Boise for my connecting flight).

I Am Harry Potter from Daniel RadcliffeThat does it, Dan; you've joined the shortlist of frankly hot celeb guys (including David Tennant and John Barrowman) who are so gloriously geeky I'd love to meet them in person some day ( Read more... )

Not that I've been a towering presence here lately, with one thing and another keeping me too busy to post often, or comment much (though I've been making an effort to keep up to some extent on at least reading the f-list). But I did want to let everyone know I'll be taking off to spend a week with the Family Unit; I'll miss countessaleska and the Area 51 ( Read more... )
