Stealing shamelessly wholesale from mekosuchinae: I am so behind on everything1! Email, comments, email, livejournal, email, life. How are you doing? Are you alive?

I wore a white dress to eat in and I didn't spill anything on it. Success! Victory!
Unexpected post writing time! And of course my concentration is scattered to the four winds.

Early week's spoils of conquest:- Two cards; Schoolkid A sent me a "Happy Thanksgiving Miss H You Are The Best Card," so naturally I had to get one for her in return. At no point in the past eight days have I managed to either (1) make it to the post office or (2) buy a stamp. Guess how far away from the post office I live. Guess.

Woke up this afternoon with some serious Sideshow Bob hair.
I remember reading back when about Neil Jordan's attempts to make a movie about the Borgias; at the time, it had Ewan MacGregor and Christina Ricci attached or rumored to be as Cesare and Lucretia. Fast forward eight years, and it's finally come together as a Showtime series, with Jeremy Irons as Rodrigo/Alexander VI. Globe and Mail article from ( Read more... ) -
I'm getting a haircut tomorrow.

In dog years, I'd be 189.
I feel like this should be longer and/or more thoughtful, but yeah, no, here's the slapdash version ( Read more... ) -
Because I don't have enough books...
I went and got more last night! Yes.
I've been starting posts in Wordpad for the last three weeks, none of which are this one. I used to be so much more timely and efficient about this. And thank beezus for draft restore!

Summer '10 Movie Screencap Game
Finally remotivated after the great computer death-crash of '09 to begin stockpiling screencaps again, and lo!

Determined to make a post this month WEEK, so we'll see how this goes.
Looking back at that 6-10 post, wow, there are so many things I need to catch up on that I'm still not getting to. (Finally moved the Ren fest pictures off my camera to the computer! Small steps!)

Brainjuice returns!: The All Alone in the Moonlight Memories special edition one-off
So this should have been a May activities catch-up (Charleston! Community! Book sale! naeelah! Prince of Persia! narfzz! Ren fest!), or a Megan Whalen Turner/Queen's Thief post, or a Lymond post, or, ahem, even an icon post. Instead:
