Annual Reading Roundup
At the beginning of 2015, I set some reading goals. So how did I do?
- First, I wanted to read at least 75 books. Go figure, by setting that goal lower, I actually ended up reading more. According to Goodreads, my total was 106, including rereads of the first six Toby Daye books. (There were some picture books, too, and plenty of single issue comic ( Read more... )

What's Making Me Happy This Week
It's not Friday, but whatever. This is hardly a regular weekly feature, and anyway, I run this show.
Hamilton. I reluctantly accept the fact that I'm very unlikely to actually see the show on Broadway, so I'll just have to pray that they really do film a performance sometime. On the other hand, I can listen to the cast album as often as I want, ( Read more... ) -

Dear Gmail,
Please to be not eating my LJ notifications, okay? I like to actually know when people comment.

ye olde lj fandom
I've seen several posts floating around Tumblr in the last week lamenting the demise of old-school LJ fandom, which prompted me log on and check my old f-list, which came with the pleasant surprise that some old friends have been posting recently!

So researching what types of piano music Lady Mary could conceivably have learned how to play has led me to reserving and checking-out piano music (that is quite possibly too difficult for me to play) from work. But I don't own a piano, so then it led to me researching digital pianos, which though less expensive than there acoustic counterparts, ( Read more... ) -

Out of the blue I just remembered the time at last year's Dragon Con where we found an free almost full 12 pack of Diet Coke in our hotel hallway. Did I gleefully stash it in our room while Patty and Karen summoned the elevator? Yes, I did.

2015 Reading Goals
Okay so last year I failed miserably at reviewing all the books I read here. I think I left off around August? Sometime after that I did start trying to post more reviews on Goodreads to sort of make up for it. Though I didn't deliver on my goal to read and review 100 books, I did meet a big goal set when I got my new job in March: reading more ( Read more... ) -
What I'm Reading: 2014 Edition
Last year I divided the list into Fiction, Non-Fiction, and Graphic Novels thinking that would make me actually read more non-fiction. That... failed spectacularly. In general, I just didn't finish as many books as I would've liked last year, but it's not fair comparing to 2012, since that was when I got into Marvel and read a ton of trades.
