The end
It was the end of something,
And so we grew sad
According to how much we loved it.
Now, nothing
But out great variety of sadness
And for some
A seed of instinct suggesting
Something else
May eventually begin.

Thoughtstreams (podfic)
So far, podfics seem a bit like movies. The books are usually better, but I enjoy them just the same. Not to mention, appreciate being able to do something else, like, oh you know, work. But wow, I just heard a podfic that...wow. WOW.

I've been uber unmotivated to work lately, I think, because of a horrible client and awful job). It will be over in a couple of months and I just need to get through it. (I think the last CH chapter was a result of directly related productive procrastination.)

I want to make a rec list that:

DMHG ahoy
Er, I dunno why the pirate reference. So, awhile back I let my OCD flag fly over on crackbroom's Harry/Ron page and devour probably 85% of the recs there. Yesterday I almost finished the Draco/Hermione tags. I left a few key stories for the end. Now, I have to decide what order to read (or reread) them in.
The End List:

Bean-isms
Luca is 2 and half. Still sweet. Rather mischievous. Loves to talk to people. Terrified of dogs. Speaks pretty damn well (and a LOT). I'm always amazed when he says things like, "Grandma, are you going to put your water bottle in here (pointing to the car console)?" When she says, "Yes, I am," he replies, "Yeah, and I will also do that. And we can ( Read more... ) -
Have I nearly become a ghost?
I hope not.
In a nutshell: Mr. Ilke has been working full time since October and I'm STILL haven't gotten a handle on how to manage being responsible to getting Luca to daycare and home, cleaning (ha!) and working 50+ hours a week. No idea. Our business has at last been formed and is things are rolling in that department despite a few loose ends. ( Read more... )
