But way better than a picture of a robin, kittens!

Well, as I try to not freeze to death in my nice, icy flat and wait for the laundry to finish, I shall beg you all to go to Speak Its Name, today and every day until Christmas.  They're doing a cracking Advent calendar full of historical goodness.  I am one of the bloggers.  What day, you may ask?  ( Read more... )

Hello my very dears,

Well, I've been a good little workerbee (except for Saturday which, if you follow rugby, you will understand why I had to go out with some brand-new just-met-at-a-pub friends and let a bunch of Bokke supporters buy me drinks all night), so I can finally write the post I've been meaning to for absolute ages.

Before I get to the ( Read more... )

Hello you lovers of lovely men (I'm trying out new taglines ( Read more... )

My God, am I ever unmotivated.  So much to do, and all I can manage is laundry and lolling about the house.

So you all get a flashfic!  Wrote this right after going to see an awesome rugby game two weeks ago.  (What game last weekend?  I don't know what you're talking about.)  Afterwards they had an autograph session pitchside, and I almost got ( Read more... )

Hello, beautiful darlings!

A little early this week, because I've got the time, and I'm planning on being unfortunately rather busy tomorrow.  So, a few hours early!

I have not forgotten the promise of greek shephard boys and Pan, but this week is something a little different.  For some reason, it's taken me until now to discover fumetti, comics made ( Read more... )

Hello my very dears,

So sorry about last week -- classes started up and it was roughly equivalent to getting hit by a train.  Which is why I'm writing this early on Wednesday morning, before I disappear into the lab/library/etc.  And which is also why it might be a bit short :)  Things are quiet at the moment, though I'm already planning a flash fic ( Read more... )

Hello, gentle readers,

Well, it's the last Wednesday before lectures start up again.  I'll try to keep the moaning to a minimum, as I give my life over to the course for the LAST YEAR!  Michaelmas term* will likely be easier to deal with than in the spring, but I'm determined to keep writing this column every week, with an entry posted by midnight ( Read more... )

Hello my very dears,

A little frazzled this week from the Haus of Deri-Bowen.  I'm desperately trying to find a flatmate before the beginning of October.  It's not going brilliantly.  My back-up plan is eat a huge rent payment in October, and move in November if I have to.  (I suppose this is the advantage of being able to fit all my earthly goods ( Read more... )

Hello darlings,

Nothing much terribly new this week; mostly I'm just finishing up some stories* and living a strangely idyllic life before school starts up again.  Lots of faffing around online, of course, but I'm also back to getting out on the bike, doing about twenty miles yesterday.  In the rain.

Hello dearies,

Well, I write to you emerging (slowly) from a tech-induced coma.  After having gotten lost at every possible point in the last few years, plus being really cranky when I can't check e-mail for even hours, plus the fact that I am sort of the world's cheapest gadget-head...I now own a smartphone, running Android.

Oh my giddy great-aunt ( ( Read more... )
