Running out of details as I run out of energy, whee
Class has been in session for a week now. It's a little early to know for certain, but I may have actually managed my first ever semester without a single course that makes me want to hurt myself. I'm not in love with any of them so far either, but none of them are worse than tolerable. I'm taking gay history, programming level two, designing ( Read more... ) -
I've been suffering from some writer's block and I blame this concept
Babylon 5, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Persona 3, 52, and the Batwoman arc of Detective ComicsWhat do the above all have in common? As most fans of each title can tell you, they had strong and well-written stories, broke rules of their genre/medium, and weren't novels. I'm sure there are similar shows or games or comics I missed that are just as ( Read more... ) -
Big companies are trying to take over the world again? No wai!
For anyone who doesn't follow the LJ news blog, you've been missing out on some big shit. I can't even keep track of what all is wrong and why, it's so overwhelming, but I'd recommend y'all check out Cleolinda's summary and thoughts on it (follow her links, she's been reporting on this since it first started and has much experimenting to share on ( Read more... ) -
Dear tall people: Don't crowd the front. No, really, don't be a jackass
Ten years ago I saw my favorite band perform for the first time at a music festival. It wasn't very satisfying, as they were the second-to-last to perform after a long, long day in a very crowded area, but they otherwise never came near Hickville, Iowa. Two weeks ago on Friday the thirteenth, being that I now live in a rather large city, Hanson ( Read more... ) -
Here, let me get my soapbox
I've fallen behind on my blogging and I'm going to have to backtrack later, but right now I have something I want to get down about misogyny and how it infiltrates society in a tiny but significant way a lot of people don't notice ( Read more... ) -
And when I'm overwhelmed, I stop doing anything at all! That's helpful, right?
I suck at prioritizing writing. I have like five huge projects I'm working on and I keep coming back to the one with the least importance ( Read more... ) -
In which I am interrupted from more dull fashion rambles by loud beeps
I think I may love Ragstock. It's a "recycled" clothing store that I've been to only twice, but the first time I came away with a leather trench coat of awesome and this time I found a pair of leather boots that actually, get this, fit me and a red fedora for a lot cheaper than Amazon had it ( Read more... ) -
I don't like this adult stuff, like shopping on my own. It's annoying.
I hate clothes shopping. I really do. I don't like most fashion and none of it seems to fit me anyway. Problem is, I really need to buy some new pants/shorts. I've finally got some tops I like and all I have to pair them with is blue jeans and khakis. Last time I tried to find black jeans, the only two I found that would fit me were dark, dark blue ( Read more... ) -
Humid, hot, unbearable weather? Not the best time to try out new sports thing
I've been ice skating since I was ickle and am fairly decent at it. Not at tricks or anything of that sort, just speed and not falling down -- my weird ankle (my right foot points right instead of straight ahead) makes most tricks too hard to even attempt. This is the second year in a row I missed skating during winter, so I finally went and bought ( Read more... ) -
I have terrible luck regarding music, I guess
Oh man, ever hear a song you really, really like on the radio, look up who wrote it, and discover you absolutely hate the rest of the music that singer/band has done? I'm feeling that way about OneRepublic. Their song "All the Right Moves" caught my ear in a Walgreens of all places and I heard it later on an XM station where I could catch the band' ( Read more... )
