Gabaldon intro post
Some of you might know that Ronald D. Moore is adapting Outlander by Diana Gabaldon for Sony and Starz. (The link to the author website has further links to twitter and Facebook, where she usually posts snippets of scenes from upcoming or recently published works.) Outlander was published in 1991. It has 850 pages and 41 chapters, and it's to be ( Read more... ) -
PSA
My paid account expired, and since I'm here so rarely these days I couldn't justify the expense, even though the amount might be affordable as such. I also removed some users on my reading list that behaved inconsiderately and in one case also demanded an unreasonable amount of money for something I wasn't aware was all that expensive to begin with ( Read more... ) -
Misc.
Firefox 4 doesn't really work all that well if you want to have more than one tab open, does it? The upside is that I've taken a new look at Opera, and the latest version seems rather good. Still haven't taught my fingers not to use Firefox-specific right-click shortcuts though ( Read more... ) -
Happy birthday!
This is a placeholder; I think I might have some ideas to share soon, for instance about The Good Wife.
But really, I think I might curl up with Persuasion tonight. She's still alive in my heart and mind. -
*clears throat*
The thing about not having updated since April is I really don't know where to start or what to say. So... *waves* unfortunately I've never really been a frequent poster, but I hope I'll at least be able to come and say hi when I can ( Read more... ) -

Had a Lewis Carroll revival in March: reread Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and ( Read more... ) -
Stuff I've read and watched.
I'm trying to catch up on RL things while recuperating. Taking breaks by rereading seanan_mcguire's Rosemary and Rue. S, I might finally post my thoughts once I'm done. Mea culpa. :-)Though, my rereading it this soon might be taken as an indication that I really, really liked it. But, as a long-time reader of crime fiction, I might have some tiny issues.After ( Read more... ) -
Hey, where did December go?
Hello all, my apologies for my prolonged absence yet again, but RL was a bit hectic, and a dismally small part of it any fun.
However, I'm hoping that you are having a relaxing holiday of your choice. Also, that I'll be more of a presence here next year. I'm sure that I've missed lots of things; as always, will try to check up on you at some point -
(Untitled)
Argh. It's almost two in the morning, am exhausted but cannot sleep (or type, really) AND I'm earworming the soundtrack to Much Ado About Nothing. -
Hello there!
It's time for another installment in the "please don't do this at home" ongoing story that is my life: bite off a perfectly healthy part of a tooth. Went to the dentist's 4½ hours ago and the anaesthesia hasn't gone completely yet. Still have eaten some soft things though, as I kind of didn't have time for breakfast before I left (opted for sleep ( Read more... )
