Who would be willing to come up with the lovely art for my tattoo? Obviously I would pay you for your work, and would need it by August 20 ( Read more... )

Saw Prometheus tonight.

Epic tournament of Idiot Ball.

One thing I liked was David, actually. I love the in-world promo about the character. [Spoiler (click to open)]He's very much in the uncanny valley, particularly as he presents as an attractive adult male with a very even tone of voice and no temper, but he really seems to have deep passive hostility toward his ( Read more... )

OK, so I went to the hospital a few weeks ago, and they kept me in for a few days, and then they let me go because I was going absolutely nuts and there's a really nice outpatient place that just opened near me where I could do my ongoing IV therapy ( Read more... )

Seriously? This is an actual question? I have such a headache right now, but I still have to take a shot at this idea.

( No, he did not 'go too far'. )

Maybe in your own lifetime, maybe not, but it's creepily plausible, y'know ( Read more... )

I'm off LJ for a few days now, since we're coming up to crunch time on Book 7. Spoilers. Bah! If anyone needs anything, you can reach me by sending a text to my mobile - it's set up on my info page.

See you on the other side, and happy reading!

Huh. Got a call for a garage door company. Apparently, they service some lockable parking lots in the downtown area.

Girl phones me. Has typical vapid girl-voice. Drawls at me, "Yah, my car's locked in. You gotta come down and open up the gate."

Well, I tell her to find out who OPERATES the lot (it certainly isn't this company), because that's ( Read more... )
