Right. So obviously I haven't been posting here these days. It's mostly because livejournal keeps logging me out and then I forget my password (every damn time!) and then I have to change my password to something new and the cycle begins all over again. Which is also why I haven't been commenting on anyone's livejournals. But now I think I have ( Read more... )

( Well, Steph and Liza clearly beat me handily when it comes to the movie seeing... )

Heh. I told Wendy about my movie watching self-torture and she said, "Well that's why God invented Jane Austen." So now we are watching the second half of the BBC Pride & Prejudice and all is right with the world.

I rented the movie Bent the other day. What a mistake that was. I'd had such a nice day and then I watched two-thirds of it and was as sad as I've been in a long time. It was just so utterly depressing that I didn't know how to shake it off. Anyway, that was Friday and I figured after a nice day and a half why not watch the rest. Clearly I have ( Read more... )

It's a funny thing. I had my poetry workshop today, which I enjoy. And I would say that I'm relatively good with criticism. I like criticism. If I just wanted to be told my writing was good why on earth would I waste my time taking the class. But I hate it when people don't say anything in the critique and then you get it the paper back and it has ( Read more... )

When snow is predicted in NYC there is invariably a rush on the supermarkets. People stand around debating what would keep best. "Can you keep this in the cupboard, honey," echoes through the aisles. Now you would think that, being from Buffalo, I would be immune to this. I am completely aware that a foot of snow is not going to keep me from the ( Read more... )

Taken from Liza. Why do I always feel the need to do these things when they're about books. No one actually reads them do they? I mean I do because I judge people based on the books they like but I assume most people don't. Oh well.

Here are the current top 50 books from whatshouldireadnext.com. Bold the books you have read. Italicise the books ( Read more... )

So I've started my new internship at Warner Books. Now I've worked in offices complete with cubicles before but never any like this. It's in a huge building that I enter directly from the subway. I have a card that lets me through the turnstiles and then I take an elevator up to my floor. I sit in a cubicle that someone else uses on Mondays and ( Read more... )

Our boy is up on Petfinder now, so hopefully someone will see him and fall in love. Go here to see adorable pictures of him.

Well here's a bit of an update on my life. The most important thing I suppose is the cat Wendy rescued. We've named him Pyramus and he's living in my room until we can find a good home for him. He's pretty wonderful (I'll post a couple of pictures eventually) and we adore him but we can't keep him so we're just making sure he has a good life while ( Read more... )
