Alas, all my good intentions of posting here more often keeps slipping past me. Work has been extra crazy due to the Christmas shoppers (so far no major messes, but there's been the usual number of grumps, nothing I haven't seen before, but considering how on edge everyone seems, I'm bracing myself for anything), plus I've been pecking away at a ( Read more... )

Sorry if you folks on my friends list saw an especially miserable entry recently, I've not had a clear head for some time due to a number of things and I wound up venting about it more than I probably should have (yes, I know, since it's my blog, I can post what I like, but still, one has to put limits on how much you vent, otherwise, it turns into ( Read more... )

Got a few days to catch up on, and so I'll try to keep it short, hitting the high points ( Read more... )

Up this morning despite a late night last night - watched "It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown" before I went to bed: one of the best Halloween specials ever, and also one of the few that shows the day after Halloween; there's a melancholy and yet a sense of relief, as if you had anticipated something creepy to happen, which didn't happen, to one ( Read more... )

Been busy in the evenings, typing up pro!fic - one 1250 word bit involving a seven year old HPL, and half of a fic for Christian horror anthology - and hitting RP tags (memes and PSLs, I'm liking the pace, though I miss the structure and character diversity of a game), hence the lack of an actual entry the past day or two ( Read more... )

I seem to have started to become a fixture there: one of the waitstaff remembered that I like sitting outside in the natural light. Unfortunately, this may be shifting ( Read more... )

Busy weekend: Friday was a bit of a lost day due to a series of misadventures that I really don't want to describe. Sometimes, it makes it harder to put things behind you, if you talk about it too many times ( Read more... )

Been quiet, I know, and admittedly, life has been keeping me so busy, that much as I would like to write a journal entry, some nights, it just feels like one more thing to do after a long day, and sadly, this means I let it go till the next day, and sadly, it doesn't happen then, either ( Read more... )

Sorry for the radio silence: work has been throwing more than the usual hours at me and I've been rolling with the throws. Also, I've been throwing more fiction into the wild: I sent "Paper Masks" off to a potential anthology, now comes the part where I wait to hear back from the editor as to the fate of ye story ( Read more... )
