Let's see if I can remember how to do this posting thing! This is because I said I'd give my opinion on The Light Princess and it would take numerous tweets so I'm doing this instead. And while I'm at it I thought I'd review the other things I've seen in December.

It's that time again, book list of the year! Tick the ones you've read so I can be nosy. I read 125 books this year, so comfortably went over my 100 book target. There is an obvious downturn towards the end, but that's because I was knitting like a demon to get my nephew's Christmas present done so I didn't have a lot of time for reading. I shall ( Read more... )

Just keeping a record of things I have been to, with hopefully a tiny review or observation for each thing.

What? A post? It's true! Have some fics I liked in Yuletide: these are the ones I liked enough to bookmark, not that I'm saying they're the best ones around or anything, they're just the ones that caught my attention enough ( Read more... )

Hello LJ, I got my Pottermore email! I got the most enormous wand in the world, 14 and a half inches, rowan and phoenix feather, supple. Woo! And then I got sorted into the last house in the world I would have expected:

Back to work tomorrow. :( I realise I have had a week and a half of holiday and before that a week and a half of light days, and this week is less than 3 days long but still, back to work tomorrow. :(

It's been a great holiday, though. I went to kickingrad's art show and stared longingly at art I couldn't afford, spend three splendid days at the London Book ( Read more... )

Last Saturday I went to sunsetmog's (gorgeous) flat, ostensibly to be introduced to the Fast and Furious movies. We watched 1, the short film of pining across America at the beginning of 2, and 4 and I did enjoy their epic love, but what I've really taken away from the weekend (literally, actually, I stole season 1) is what we watched next: Veronica Mars. I ( Read more... )

Mum and Dad have been here for the past few days and we went to Ikea twice! And because I love you, flist, I thought I'd show you pictures of the changes in my house. More rearranging will probably happen over the rest of half term, but this is the main of it.

( Drawers and bookshelves and pictures, oh my! )

Oh man, so angry. I've been reading a lot about the local library closures recently. It's a bigger issue than I can get into on the last 10 minutes of my lunch break, but I just read this article in the Guardian and couldn't help but read the comments. I know, I know, I brought the anger on myself through my own thoughtless actions, but this is ( Read more... )
