You know when it's the end of the day and you take a hot shower and compose a post and you know, you really know, that when you get out of the shower you will once again be too tired to even think about opening your laptop and jotting it down?

NO. Fuck it. Post, I told myself in the shower. Don't make it into a thing. Don't start with another ( Read more... )

Yesterday I ended up staying home sick instead of working and slept until literally after sundown, but after some chicken soup I snuggled up with the comfort of Yuletide fics.

I received the following wonderful story as my gift:

I just made the giant mistake (OR IS IT, says paranoid me) of holding a flashlight to my mouth to see what the extraction site looks like and then google imaging a lot of really gross images and now I'm paranoid I'm going to have some kind of complication. Internet medical research is truly a curse and I wish I could just wipe the past hour of ( Read more... )

I started work on Wednesday, while still not having signed the contract. It's a small start-up, everyone works in the same crowded room and everyone is very busy and a little all over the place, enough so that the CEO hasn't had the time yet to sit down with me and hammer out the final details & sign. But I trust that it's gonna happen tomorrow, ( Read more... )

While I haven't always lit candles every day over the years, it's somehow the one holiday tradition that I actually do find myself following fairly consistently, even when I'm alone. Can't really think of other holidays I'd do that for - mainly, maybe, because most other traditions involve prayer, making food, or having other people around, and ( Read more... )

Things I've enjoyed recently other than the Photography Marathon:

1. EVERYTHING BRITISH ROYALTY. I don't know, guys. I watched the entirety of The Crown, then rewatched The King's Speech and The Queen because idk I guess I just need more Elizabeth in my life? What even. I started watching Victoria too, on a roll and all, but quit pretty quickly; ( Read more... )

On Friday I went on a 'Photography Marathon' event. You sign up in advance, arrive at the starting point on the day of and get an Official Shirt & Kit (TM), and over the next four hours you are gradually texted 6 challenge prompts, which you're supposed to photograph anywhere you want across the city. At the end you submit four photos in different ( Read more... )

1. Watched Thor: Ragnarok last night and enjoyed it a ton, as expected. Feel free to talk at me, or headcanon me, or... whatever you want. It's not a spoiler that Bruce Banner/Hulk are in this movie, and as one who does not usually enjoy his portrayal of Bruce nor Bruce's character in general in the MCU, after the movie I immediately re-recced a ( Read more... )

Dear Yuletide Author,

Thank you for having great taste ♥:D This year as last, the fandoms I requested are fandoms that I really enjoyed, and have almost no fic at all, and I just want... more of them.

This year I rambled on in my sign up, so I don't actually have anything to add to the prompts; I'll just paste them again here:

1. The West Wing ( Read more... )

I have not actually talked about the State of Me on here, I think, but in general I am, 6 months after leaving my job, still in a state of uncertainty re: what the hell I want to do with my life - what direction to job search in, or alternatively study, or combine, or... something. It's the new year, which means I should take the time to reflect, ( Read more... )
