I am so so embarrassed to be from Missouri. AKA the state whose womenz has magical vagina missiles to kill rapists' sperm.
So if you get pregnant, you weren't raped! So simple! Why haven't we been using this in court?

Benedict's interview
"Cumberbatch, who is set to play an Edwardian aristocrat in BBC1 period drama Parade's End, said he enjoyed becoming a pin-up after Sherlock.
"It puts a bit of a spring in your step. It's nice, you swagger a little bit, it's enjoyable," he said.
The star added: "I've punched well above my weight this year. And that remains very much a secret ... I ( Read more... ) -
Posting old stuff to AO3
Well, I'm preparing to put "Tears" ( and eventually "Notes") up on the archive and it involves a fair bit of re-formatting and checking for typos and so on. And I told myself that I was NOT going to re-write anything, but in reviewing the first chapter of Tears, I'm like.... It's just all back story! It's BORING! I should just cut it and start ( Read more... ) -
Fallout and Elder Scrolls
Well, the kids and I have fallen down the RPG rabbit hole... Like I NEED something else to take up my time. See, this is why I don't have time to scrapbook and rubber stamp. The grandkids will be saying someday, "Granny, why are all your photos piled in shoe boxes? Why aren't they in elaborate scrapbooks with hand stamped labels?"
And I will say, " ( Read more... ) -

I write like...
This site is totally cool. http://iwl.me/s/86bc26af
Apparently, I'm a bit schizo though. I tried four snippets and got: Stephen King, Neil Gaiman and William Gibson (twice). Hey if you're gonna steal, steal from the best!

Doing the happy dance!
Well, I almost can't believe it. But I've finally finished posting my story "Notes and Observations by Frodo of the Shire". The thing's been on my hard drive for several months now, but finding the hours to actually sit down and do the grunt work of putting it up has been a problem. I kid you not, it takes me a good hour or two most of the time ( Read more... ) -

Busy, busy, busy...
I'm working on the love scene in my hobbit smut story, and went looking for some on-line articles. I found a few interesting ones.
This one has lots of amusing phrases under handy headings like "Kissing" "Skin" and one of my faves "Male Physique".
This one talks about putting the 'romance' into your sex. I realized I needed to go back and add ( Read more... ) -
Be careful what you write!!!
Yep, we're in the process of trading liberty for security. We spy on each other just like the government (led by Mr. Bush and Mr. Ashcroft) wants us to. All hail Big Brother!
Sound ridiculous? Go here and read this. And be careful, ok? They're looking over your shoulder and watching what you do ( Read more... )
