Excerpt from Night Work by Lisa N. Steinman

Tonight, I'm standing in a landscape where
the wind tosses the trees; the sky mumbles
constantly; visions unfold; waterfalls -
wild and domestic at once - say hard things
brilliantly. The world is verbose, flickers
of thought around every corner that hint
of another landscape where nothing speaks.

Notice to Niece About a Breakup
by Crystal Williams

Outside the jewelry store with its gleam and bling bling,
A bee beats it's wings against the window. Outside: a series of fantastical flowers, silks and taffetas
Bunched craftily and strung.
& although the window is unclean, pitted with a month's worth of world-spew and debris,
The bee has seen; ( Read more... )

The end

It was the end of something,
And so we grew sad
According to how much we loved it.
Now, nothing
But out great variety of sadness
And for some
A seed of instinct suggesting
Something else
May eventually begin.

Er, I dunno why the pirate reference. So, awhile back I let my OCD flag fly over on crackbroom's Harry/Ron page and devour probably 85% of the recs there. Yesterday I almost finished the Draco/Hermione tags. I left a few key stories for the end. Now, I have to decide what order to read (or reread) them in.

The End List:
Broken (which I never ( Read more... )

Overcommitted. Capital O.

Times a thousand.
With a cherry on top.

I think both Draco and Hermione would like Florence and the Machine, though maybe for different reasons.

Met with the Business Consultant today and ohmygod we're going to do it. In like two weeks I'll officially be a business owner. I'm more than a little excitedoverwhelmedeager about this. Not excited about the set costs, but it will be worth it.

After a reviewer suggested I was being too hard on Ron, I peeked at some Harry/Ron fic. And got sucked.the.fuck.in. I went threw crack-broom's h/r tag and read probably 85% of what was there, only skipping for broken links and subjects I have a hard time with (few in this ship). Anyway, it was quite enjoyable, though I started to really miss Draco ( Read more... )

I designed like a fucking champion today! SOOO hope we win the project. It's wine again but with a fashion mag twist. My inner fashionista is so excited. (Says she who only owns one pair of pants - until tomorrow, that is.)

I'm on a bender!!! A Harry/Ron bender that is! I started with the most recent crackbroom rec and am now on page 6. I've read just about everything so far. Not nearly the variety there is dramione, but I'm a sucker for the best friends in denial angst. I've also noticed that my MO for the last few months has been "bulk" reading - like reading an ( Read more... )
