The thing about Lord of the Rings -- or, an unexpectedly hopeful ending note on rant post
This is a rant that has been coming on for a while, because I've been binging on Lord of the Rings movie stuff after long abstinence, because my brother sent the family the Lego game for Christmas, and you know how it is with that little taste of an old addiction ( Read more... ) -
scattered thoughts like clouds
(I keep trying to like things as I go through my LJ feed. Yikes.)
Facebook and Tumblr do create such a laziness. "Can't be bothered to comment, but if I like it they'll know I've seen it and appreciate it~"
on me right now:I'm here on LJ again probably by grace of pulling the reins in on my SuitDistracted blog. I get a bit obsessive, and so when ( Read more... ) -
baking dooms are upon me
Having to Google your own friend's recipe, because you never wrote it down?
Embarrassing.
Having that recipe be called Naamah's Ginger Sluts and totally the number 1 result?
PRICELESS
needing to create a co-op to find where they've relocated the molasses to in the store, only to find my mother texted me back with the location after I asked 12 ( Read more... ) -
fantasy literature for grown-ups: CHALICE by Robin McKinley
I am rereading Chalice, for the first time, after some time since my first reading.

However. I was looking at Sirens' page (rhinemouse is luring me to it)and they had a newsletter on their community on LJ, and I have been meaning to come and post photos of my adventure to Boston and my brother's wedding for those who ( Read more... ) -

inevitable project brag post
It is only fair that I tell you all about my latest geeky fiber project, The Beekeeper's Quilt.
It is a knitted thing where you stuff little hexagons and sew them together in to a quilt whatever size you can endurance-knit up to.
So my kinda thing.

in which I geek out about the storytelling in the Iron Man movies because this is how I show my love
So I don't know if anyone wants to hear MY thoughts on Iron Man 3 (or is it Iron Man 4, no really) but surely if you've seen it we can geek out in the comments together ( Read more... ) -
write me the 23rd form of sword
I watched Hero, as advised, by the way
and I've been meaning to write you a thanks, farrandy and timeripple, as well as a review
but it was just one of those *experiences*, ones that kind of eat your words and settle into your bones, and trying to turn it into blog-fodder seems petty
(though I did just post a photo of Donnie Yen on my Suitblog because I am at ( Read more... ) -
