wall-to-wall pop culture fluff warning
Apologies for the tone that veers all over the place. I feel ridiculously slangy and stiltedly academic all at the same time.
Watched recently:- browbeat frozenemerald into going to see Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy with my mother and me a few weekends ago.

dash in, dash out
Trying again after that abortive attempt in December. Unexpected internet time, and as much as I want-need to update, well, sitting here in the saddle and struck with the usual utter brainblank. Too much to begin to attempt to catch up on off the cuff. What I'm willing to put in an open post:
- as of winter break, I've actually managed to ( Read more... )

all dressed up yesterday and no place to go
I never did write up last year's haul, did I? At any rate, L and I were there at 8:30, sleep-deprived and for some reason absolutely off our rockers (our UberCountry alt-names were born that day), but we got a goodly amount of decent books between us. Anyway ( Read more... ) -
like everything else those crazy dreams just kind of came and went
Ought to just retitle this place "Almost Dickensianly-Personified Neglect." I have guilty dreams about never updating. Not just dreams about LJ, but guilt dreams. I mean really now.
Anyway, reading about the Robocop remake pre-pre-pre-production status/rumors and having my kneejerk "no gender-flip = no interest" response sent me on a look-see that ( Read more... ) -
from the midnight sun where the hot springs flow
Which is to say, not here. Have the time but not the mental capacity, but despite being way (way) too caffeine-jangled (I keep typing words out of order, so apologies if there's something grammatically/syntactically ghastly), this is going to get done, one way or another, even if I have no idea where to begin and will leave most everything out that ( Read more... ) -
this isn't that one, either
I am more tired of typing "I miss LJ!" than you are of reading it, but it doesn't get less accurate.
So Mom R "done busted up her ankle but good" (to borrow a phrase) (eta: apparently it's a fracture so far), they're doing the Hospital Wait, and I'm here with the kids, so now that everyone is asleep (for Kid J, post-extra-extra-cuddling-and- ( Read more... ) -
back in the saddle again, or at least getting it down off the wall
Instead of just putzing around watching tv and noodling through spoiler forums, going to try to be productive and finally (finally!) catch up in some respect with LJ. The withdrawal/hermitation has been pretty bad these past 2.5ish months (although I have gotten so much read, wow! I mean, seriously. Or reread anyway). My inner twelve year old is ( Read more... ) -
since it is/will all be in boxes soon

[a]
L, I swear from now on I will remember I've asked (and asked and asked and asked (and asked)) and thus will no longer bug you about The Bloody Chamber. I'm fairly certain at least that Abby didn't eat it, but beyond that, who knows.

I need to drag the kids out tomorrow for a snowball fight.
iSticking a ruler in the snow the other day = 6". Yeah, we (US Deep South) haven't had snow like this since what, 1988? Usually an inch or two that melts the next day (ice, though, we get plenty of that regularly). But, snow! Started Monday night and schools and such have been closed all week so far. It'd be nice if the kids at least had to go ( Read more... ) -
a real post would have less arbitrary capitalization

Did a 180° from my usual indifference and decided to adopt- time management!
