LJ Terms and Conditions
I haven't logged into LJ since the new T's and C's came into effect, mostly because I was trying to avoid having to make a decision about them. I've given it some thought and seeing as I hardly ever post here any more, only a couple of people on my flist post with any regularity, and my life feels like it's maybe about to take a new turn, it's ( Read more... ) -
"It's been a heck of a day."
My radio came on at 05:40 this morning as usual, tuned to radio 4 with the sound down low - a gentle wake up before the alarm at 05:45. The dulcet tones of James Naughtie woke me and I tried to figure out the referendum result from what he was saying. "Momentous day" was mentioned, and suddenly I was wide awake and I couldn't wait for the radio to ( Read more... ) -
My life, how different it would be if it were a film.
I walked into town earlier today to get a few things for my upcoming trips. I left it a bit late, thanks to sleeping in, then getting distracted by Monsters University (damn you amazon prime), and list making for the aforementioned trips ( Read more... ) -
Watching TV tonight?
So I read somewhere that if you watch 2 hours of TV a night, every night. By the end of the year you have spent, shockingly, the equivalent of a month watching TV.

I haven't worked it out exactly, mostly because with work and shifts my life is random at the best of ( Read more... ) -
100 books to read
There is a saying that good writers are, first and foremost, readers. So, in an effort to read more in 2015 I went looking for a 'top 100 books' list. Turns out there's a fair bit of disagreement on which titles should make a list like this. The search became rather tedious, and I realised I prefer children's books anyway. In a happy coincidence, ( Read more... ) -
Fear
“My whole life I’ve been telling myself: “don’t be afraid.” And it is only now that I’m realizing how stupid that is. Don’t be afraid. Like saying: “don’t move out of the way when someone tries to punch you” or “don’t flinch at the heat of a fire” or “don’t blink.” Don’t be human. I’m afraid. And you’re afraid and we’re all always going to be ( Read more... ) -
The golden age
Excerpt from Written on a Thumbnail, by Cofax. To keep, because it makes me nod in agreement.
“Dead, dead, they're all dead --" Stark's dithering and wailing again. I don't know if he's gotten worse since Zhaan died, or if I'm just imagining everything was better then. Before Zhaan died, before Aeryn died. But I'd have to keep looking further and ( Read more... ) -
"I'm pretty sure... This never happened to me before..."
I'm not a big fan of romantic movies, but I'll always have space in my heart for The Lake House.
