Gang, this is my 1000th post to LJ. \o ( Read more... ) -
belatedly
I realized that I never talked about the Yuletide story I wrote-and I know, it’s a month later, but whatever, at least I’m in before Yuletide 2012?
I wrote Melancholia fic (that link goes to the movie trailer). I talked a lot about Melancholia when I first saw it-it was one of the most intense movie-going experiences I’ve had. When I got my ( Read more... ) -

Late last week, I threw a temper tantrum about the state of bread at my grocery store-I couldn’t find anything whole grain, no cellulose, no high fructose corn syrup. It didn’t matter that I could go somewhere else and find something that met those standards, I was just ticked, because all of a sudden that seemed like such a small order for a loaf ( Read more... ) -

So on Friday night, we celebrated my mom’s birthday at her place. She, my sister, and my stepdad boiled some lobsters, after my sister had named them and let them hang out in the kitchen for a while first, which the pupcake found SO UNUTTERABLY CONFUSING that the only way to deal was to collapse on the floor and wait it out ( Read more... ) -

Does anyone else have a comment you hear from beta-readers every time, even though you should totally have learned your lesson by now?
For example, if I tried to do that 1-3 sentence meme that’s going around, which I am loving, I’d end up writing 1000 words just to get to my punchline. That’s just--that’s classic. Last weekend, I had janet_carter go over my ( Read more... ) -

I have to share two pictures of Sally from this weekend because she was just so cute.
( Unlike all the other times when she’s...also cute. ) -
possibly an overreaction
I am way convinced that the old, creepy elevator in my building-the one with 5 sides, 2 exits, and a tendency to blink V…V…V instead of telling you what floor you’re on-has it in for me. Two days in a row I’ve gotten on to go downstairs, and the door starts to close, slams at the midway point, and then slams open again. The coworker I’m going to ( Read more... ) -
whaaaaat
Okay, but can someone explain to me WHY Fox is running a show called I Hate My Teenage Daughter? I mean, I get that teenagers can be frustrating, but really, is that going to be the focal point of an entire television showI just. The very idea fills me with wrath towards everyone involved, and a huge amount of sympathy for teenage girls, who get a ( Read more... )
