Happy holidays and such!
Merry Christmas, friends! -
Still alive, I promise!
I've really gotta be more consistent with updating this thing, I swear. Between Tumblr, travel, class projects, and all the various and sundry strangeness that comes along with senior year, I've been way less consistent with the whole longer-form blogging thing than intended. But! In two days, wrisomifu starts up again, so I'll actually have an excuse to ( Read more... ) -
Nine years of 815
Really missing ontd_lost today. LOST was the strangest and most formative fandom experience of my entire life, and the community was a major part of it. *raises a can of Dharma beer* -
Cue the overambitious craft projects...
Yup, just signed up as an artist for the Pacific Rim Big Bang. Also signed up for a Pacific Rim craft swap. This may be a sign that I've lost control of my life, but damn, it feels really good to be active in fandom again. -
Good morning! Have some meta.
So last01standing has a really excellent post on why she reads Stargate Atlantis's John Sheppard as asexual, and I am still in the process of having a lot of feelings about it. Dunno how many of you old SGA folks are still around, but trust me, this is worth checking out. -
In which I launch headfirst into old-school LJ traditions
Okay, has anybody here done a Big Bang before? Because I am seriously considering signing up as an artist for the Pacific Rim one but have no idea what I might be getting myself into. -
Hello, still alive!
Quite alive, actually. I've gotten into the bad habit of tag-blogging over on Tumblr and remembered that there are slightly better venues for rambling personal thoughts over on this part of the internet.
Anyway, a few things I've been up to lately, if you were wondering where I'd gone.
( Journalism, radio, and giant robots? Bring it on. ) -
Oh, science fiction.
I've had a spare universe rattling around in my brain for quite a few years now. If you follow me on Tumblr, you've heard me refer to it as the Catalyst!verse -- it's mostly been a mental sandbox, a place to file cool aliens and space pirates and exobiology and other original sci-fi stuff. I've done a lot of worldbuilding with it and have developed ( Read more... ) -
The life aquatic
Life is going really well here. Work is low-key but I've got my first real assignment tomorrow, in which I get to go to the aquarium and talk to some folks who study fancy seaweed. I've been going for walks by the beach every day, which is excellent: I get to check in on some nesting ospreys, say hello to the neighbors' assorted dogs, and go splash ( Read more... ) -
Bit of a PSA:
Even the most reportedly benign malaria drugs may have unexpected side effects. Remember this while you are taking them. The entire universe will suddenly get spectacularly more irritating, but keep in mind that it's your perception of it, not the universe itself, that has changed. Except for the parts of the universe that consist of your ( Read more... )
