SIGNAL BOOST: SAY YES TO GAY YA
YA lit has some of the best-written lit out there. It's full of angst, fun, love and laughter, meaningful experiences, and philosophical discussion. Not to mention memorable characters. It's the place where young adults go when they want to or need to escape. It's also the place where young adults can get a view of the larger world picture if they' ( Read more... ) -
Home at Last!!
Whee! I made it home! Flying from the U.K. to the middle of the Pacific is a 24 hour flight time alone. But since we got stuck in Newark between the earthquake and the hurricane, it took us 24 hours longer than expected. If I'd the money, I would have flown to Japan and then on home.
Have been recovering from this. I always get very ill when I ( Read more... ) -

(Untitled)
Aargh. I'm moving house in August. (well, moving to another continent, so it's not exactly moving house). Everything is in uproar, because I'm trying to decide what to take and what has to be left behind. (As usual, I'll probably end up taking all the books and none (or few) clothes). I'm in the process of sorting it all out so I can put everything ( Read more... ) -
Future Lovers by KUNIEDA Saika
I like to read manga, and some just catch your attention straight off the bat. One such is KUNIEDA Saika's "Future Lovers". This manga features a favourite couple of mine: Kento and Akira. It is alternately hilarious, sweet, and tear-jerking, but very satisfying. I often re-read it when I want something with a realistic feel to it, but which has a ( Read more... ) -
rant of the week: I despise intellectual snobs
The other day someone said that they didn't watch (...) because this show wasn't intellectual enough, and that for entertainment they only watched intellectual films or television shows. Naturally this embarrassed my friend, who had brought up the series in question. So I smiled (with all my teeth, ha ha), and said that deep intellectual work is my ( Read more... ) -
Hedgehog!
Today when I was out for my morning walk around the loch, I saw a hedgehog!! (Yesterday I saw a deer, wow!). I almost stepped on the poor thing and then it waddled off the path into the brush. I was so surprised that I grabbed my friend's arm and almost screamed, "did you see that?", haha. I've never seen a hedgehog up close in RL. yea! They're so ( Read more... ) -
First time for everything!
Okay, this is the second time this morning I'm gonna try this. The first time, the uni residential services decided to do an emergency lighting test and cut the power without telling anyone. My computer crashed (nooooooo) and here I am. Again. Will have to update this ad hoc, as I'm in the middle of post-grad work and moving and, well, RL. (like ( Read more... )
