College fairs and music
Tonight I'm driving to Cincinnati to represent Bryn Mawr at a college fair. I used to do those pretty regularly but haven't in awhile. I love doing them, they're fun. The challenge for me is usually a) keep boys from taking my limited materials, b) talk to the actual prospective students and not their sometimes-overbearing parents and c) talk ( Read more... ) -
Homeland
So my pusher beta-reader tzikeh has gotten me into several shows, including "White Collar" which I marathoned last summer, and now this past week it's been all about "Homeland."

Premium cable shows ( Read more... ) -

The Emmys and fanfiction
The Emmys were a bit odd in my little corner of fandom. For those of you who don't know, my most recent fanfic output was a 160,000 word "Sherlock" AU story called Performance in a Leading Role in which Sherlock and John are actors. Sherlock is a highbrow Oscar winner and John is the king of rom-coms, both their careers are in a slump until they ( Read more... ) -
Fantastic weekend
Saturday I had scheduled a 7-mile hike for the club at Mohican State Park, which is about an hour north of Columbus. I admit, I was a little nervous about it. The first mile of the hike contains some fairly steep hills and I've been feeling insecure about my fitness level lately. I haven't been doing as much hiking as usual this summer (combo of ( Read more... )
