No, really. The pitiful-est. Pitifullest? Anyway. To distract myself from my current state of abject misery, I'm going to keep hunt-and-peck typing this out with my one free hand (the only body part not currently huddled under the giant puffy comforter with the rest of pitiful me).

It's been an interesting few months,( to say the least. )

Posting about what I read is something I like to do, in theory, but in practice I just kept... not doing it. A friend told me about GoodReads, though, and it definitely makes reviewing what I read more natural to me, and is helping me keep on top of my 50 Books challenge better than the last two years. I like the site! I like the integrated ( Read more... )

Last night the boyf found himself really needing to talk about 'us' and our nonconventional relationship. We talked about us, about him, about me, about labels and plans and going off-script. I think I was able to make him feel better, to understand himself better. I showed him my own thought process and viewpoint. Honestly, I'm glad we are the way ( Read more... )

It's been two years without my grandfather now. More than two, but two Father's Day in particular. I always used to get him a card and chocolate covered cherries; they were his favorite, but he'd rarely buy them for himself. I still miss him.

5. Daisy Kutter: The Last Train Job by Kazu Kibuishi.
( This is a lovely little graphic novel that mixes robots and the Wild West... )

23, man. 23! I've managed to survive an entire week past my birthday, which, haha, is actually an accomplishment. Let me just say, roadtripping to San Diego/LA was a lot of fun, but became the kind of vacation that is now a cautionary tale for Everyone I Know, Ever. XD ( Read more... )

There's something deeply satisfying about an exploding vampire. :D

Daybreakers! It's a very fun vampire movie, and there's not a sparkle to be found. I was aiming for an advance screening of The Book of Eli, but arrived about a half hour too late for the line, so we went to see this gory little beauty instead. Aaand I'm still smiling. Ha ( Read more... )

If I'd remembered to keep track, I probably would have reached the goal number the last time around. Oh well. Time for a restart ( Read more... )

So, the last few months have been ... something. Too much to go into, really ( Read more... )
