Question of little importance but indulge me, I'm just curious: How do ya'll pronounce "civilisation"? Linguistics and phonetics have always fascinated me :)

Finished Dreamfever at 4pm at work today. Holy freaking what.

Un. I've been super busy at work since Monday which is super awesome. Never a dull moment, never twiddling my thumbs, etc. Why? The girl I work with (under, actually, since she's been there for, oh, five years?) is on vacation this week, meaning I get all her work and mine. You'd think I'd bemoan that but no, I do my best work under stress. Proof? ( Read more... )

Work this morning has been a lot of fuck-all *sigh* So I wrote this final review on Rhev's book, Lover Avenged. Before I begin, though... *takes a deep breath* God, that was good.

I just got a review for Sinners that asked me to roleplay. Nothing to say about the chapter. It mystifies me how some people might think that's a great review.

Only I wore it as a tunic over pants really because it's much too mini to be considered legal by itself anymore haha. But I'd missed the floral print. ( Read more... )

After Effects keeps being a bitch about the audio and I want to chuck it out the window. Before it would even crash to pieces it would be zapped into uselessness by the rain and I would probably laugh before feeling guilt-ridden. But it sure would feel good to get revenge for all those times I've had to restart the damn program ( Read more... )

I'm breaking my own (unofficial) cardinal rule of "thou shalt finish thy book before turning to aught else". Seriously? Linda Howard's Almost Forever is laughingstock and I stuck through until I got to the third quarter. "Fuck this shit," says I, because the pair of hero/heroine are supposed to be meant for each other but he's an overcrowding ass ( Read more... )
