bookends
Well, since rhymerslog and I agreed to challenge each other to writing things over the coming year, I finally tried to write up a list of projects I want to work on. Trouble is, once I get going, it's hard for me to stop. Which is why I ended up with, uh, 56 things on my list.

It's Victor Hugo Month in my house. Well, in my head, at least. And my head is where I do 99% of my living, so. It's Victor Hugo Month in my house.
I'm nearly halfway through The Hunchback of Notre-Dame, and still can't figure out how I got this old without reading it before. (What gives, self?) Also, I'm a Gringoire fangirl already. Just so you ( Read more... ) -

I'm having issues. And by issues, I mean different issues than the issues I usually have. LJ is an issue; is anyone else having massive problems getting to behave? Unfortunately sending it to its corner till it learns its lesson isn't an option ( Read more... ) -
