It was snowing this morning when I left for work, the big, fluffy kind of snow, though now it's turned into the dreaded wintry mix of sleet and snow and grossness, and I really hope they let us leave early so I can go stock up on frozen mozzarella sticks, which are the lazy person's best friend in times of being stuck in the house due to inclement ( Read more... )

Sigh. I wish there were a tumblr savior for the WHOLE INTERNET. Think of how much better life would be!

Fanfic is on the front page of the Wall Street Journal today. My feelings are decidedly mixed; the article is the usual fanfic 101 with a slightly more positive slant (or, possibly, it's just lighter on 'look at these freaks' rhetoric), though the fact that it includes an endorsement of fanfiction from Orson Scott Card makes me a little queasy, ( Read more... )

You guys, you guys, with everything I read, I only love Bucky Barnes more. I do not know how this is possible, but it's what happening. I wish I could articulate better why, but he's just... awesome. Angsty and rash and a little hilarious and did I mention the ( spoiler )

AV Club reviewed Three Men and Adena today in the Homicide recaps.

The only quibble I had was over how he talked about warnings, but I think that's more of an inside baseball kind of discussion and wouldn't have fit in a Fandom 101 piece like this one was ( Read more... )

At noon today, if all goes well, my mother is having a defibrillator implanted. She's going to have to stay overnight in the hospital for observation afterwards, even though originally they told us that it was done on an outpatient basis (to which we all incredulously said, "Really?"), because the doctor likes to be appropriately cautious ( Read more... )

So along with a couple other people, I've been plagiarized: my story on ff.net under someone else's name. I honestly do not understand what makes a person do this. This is just wholesale reposting, which makes no sense to me. If you want to save someone else's stories for rereading, then, you know, that's what "save page as" is for. Trustme. I ( Read more... )

- Hey, LJ, maybe you would like to load both the images and the text at some point today? I can apparently get one but not the other at any given time ( Read more... )
