oh, and the cats keep fighting
I like routine. I've been zipping along in my rhet book. I've been keeping up decently enough with the house. Even with the plants. There was a rough bit after my grandfather died and my mother moved furniture and appliances in almost every room of the house--it took me over a month to stop going to the wrong spots for the big chair, the armour we ( Read more... ) -
studying ... blah
Reading a lot of feminist theory lately. Also watching a lot of MST3K in the evenings. Lots of movies and shorts from the 30's through at least the 70's. This makes it hard to watch TV. I saw an episode of Eureka the other day and got all up in arms about the writers continuing in a long line of punishing fictional women who assert a sexual ( Read more... ) -

If I were grading this, I'd take points off for organization
No, the concussion did not kill me. I've just been in New Orleans and then on vacation of a sort. I really will put together a post on this. Going to the shop with my dad was kind of funny. Cold and uncomfortable, but funny. Also, there was fooooood. Angeli's. Eggplant sandwich and pasta salad and tiramisu and oh my god I love to eat. So good ( Read more... ) -
sweet cover of Bohemian Rhapsody
This could be the concussion talking, but holy crap. THIS. It's somehow cooler than my copy of Bohemian Rhapsody as performed by a string quartet. You still can't headbang to it, but awesome nonetheless.
Concussion is mild and not really a matter of concern, though the resultant headache has kept me mostly off the computer, at least until the ( Read more... ) -
Kick, kick, kick
[Warning: This started out as a short post, but it's late and I'm brainstorming again. At least I used cut tags.]
Breaking News: rimshot My father broke his ankle a few days before Christmas, so life has been busy at my house. What fun. On the bright side, my grandfather's physical therapist was able to adjust my father's crutches so his shoulders ( Read more... ) -
back
Back in the land of the living. Aside from that, I have no news.
Stuck on the teenage albino clone with a neural uplink to the Network, which has developed an AI story. It's a cross between I, Robot and Frankenstein. I'm thinking I need an antagonist. Something to get the story moving. There really isn't any antagonism between the AI and the clone ( Read more... ) -
not dead ... yet
Life's been more hectic than usual this month. My grandfather's been in the hospital twice and probably had some strokes, Papa came up for Thanksgiving, original plan for giant paper fell through so I had to come up with a Plan C (Plan B also fell through), Mom is quitting job for very good reason, and grandfather was very sick last night so I got ( Read more... ) -

state of the (dis)union
Here's why it's been quiet for the past week or so:
1. hospital fail
2. mother's new job opportunities
3. family members who make me need anti-anxiety meds
4. taking a break from school ... only that makes it sound like a vacation, and it's not
