I've had a flare up of diverticulitis, so I've spent the past few days going from only eating soup and yogurt to not eating at all. I knew better, but clearly I'm an idiot and so instead of doing the one thing that always works - fasting - I tried to cheat my way through it. ~sighs~ But I'm getting better, and I have high hopes of being able to ( Read more... )

The sshg_exchange sign-ups close tomorrow at midnight GMT (which is 6:00 p.m. US Central time), so if you haven't signed up for this round, what are you waiting for? Don't you want a SS/HG gift tailored specifically for you? ~tempts tempts~

For those of you who enjoy makeup, hawaii5063 has a friend who's started a blog focusing on makeup, but she's new to blogging and ( Read more... )

If anyone wants a paid LJ account for half-price, let me know. I have ten seven $10.00 coupons to give away. I've seen this all over my flist, so I'm probably too late with my offer, but ~shrug~ you never know. ;) Just comment below, and I'll send a coupon to you. If you don't know what I'm talking about, you can read about it here under the " ( Read more... )

Thank you very much to everyone who sent me a Snowflake cookie. I was very touched to receive them! Unfortunately, the Great LJ Snowflake Cookie Snowfall came to an abrupt end yesterday, and I apologize to everyone on my flist who didn't receive a cookie from me. :( I intended to give each of you a cookie, and I was thinking of you; I just wasn ( Read more... )

Don't worry, there are smelling salts available for those who've passed out from the shock of seeing me post twice in six days. ~grin~ ) And since I'll be discussing personal and fandom stuff, I'm cutting this so that people who are interested in just the fandom stuff can skip the personal.

Yesterday, I posted a poll asking people to choose between two covers. At the moment, there have been 82 votes (one person voted in the comments because he or she didn't have an LJ), with 75 people (or 91.5% of the votes) choosing Cover 2, and 7 people (or 8.5% of the votes) choosing Cover 1 . Those totals can - and probably will - change as more ( Read more... )

A fair percentage of my flist is working on original fiction, and I have several published authors on my flist. Some are published in print, some are digitally published (or e-published, if you prefer), and some are both. Today, though, I'm going to focus on digital publishing.

~snicker~ Get your mind out of the internet pr0n for a minute, that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about ways to make life on the internet a little easier. ;P I was cleaning out my bookmarks yesterday, and I noted a few links, scripts and Firefox add-ons that I pretty much consider invaluable. So, I'll show you mine, if you'll show ( Read more... )

My mom came through the surgery just fine. The anesthetic made her nauseous, but that mostly went away after she went home and had a nap. I expect it will be an early night for all of us since it's ridiculous how tired you can get from just sitting in a waiting room ( Read more... )

I said I'd post more, but as you can see, I haven't been. ~sighs~ Between RL and the sshg_exchange, I haven't had a lot of free time. I'm trying to read and keep up with my flist, though. I just don't comment as much as I should, and I hope to change that within the next few weeks.

But I had to post to squee over my sshg_exchange gift. If you've not read it yet, what ( Read more... )
