Maybe I should check my horoscope
I had three second-round job interviews in 24 hours and then got an email asking for a screening interview. After 5 months of unemployment, it feels weird, as though my resume got a boob job and now everyone wants to ask it out on a date, but I haven't changed it at all and the job market is actually trending down here, so WTF?

Blame BioWare - again.
So out of the blue, I write not one but TWO fics, both out of video games set in the Star Wars universe.
I really like the game, and I had fun with the fic. That's the important thing with games and fics, right?

My least favorite thing about International Women's Day
The Backwards Baseball Cap Asshaberdashery Fashion Show, starring guys whose company you normally enjoy. Luckily, the forum thread was locked before I got there, as I'm sure there would have been head-esplodey involved. Take Warren from Season 6 Buffy, beat him with a 2x4 made of 100% post-consumer, recycled Stupid, and then put a keyboard in his ( Read more... ) -
