Byron Bay
So, I went to Byron Bay with T for three days. I did a lot less work than I expected, and read a lot more gay french literature than I expected (I finished Far From the Maddening Crowd which is not French, or gay, then ploughed on through Querelle of Brest.)
I wrote some sort of diary things while I was down there, so I'll just post 'em here.

Home again
I'm ba-ack! Um, photos and a proper update later. In other news, I succumbed to the juggernaut (cause I miss fandom :( ) and got myself a tumblr although I have NO CLUE how to use it. It is here: http://mongoose-bite.tumblr.com/ if you are interested. I dunno what I'm going to post ( Read more... ) -
If my posts were more cohesive, subject lines would be easier.
You know, I have so many tumblrs that I follow bookmarked, it might be more efficient just to get an account ( Read more... ) -
These Weren't Memories
So, after getting slightly obsessed with Shingeki no Kyojin I decided to write some fic, or rather, I was ambushed by an idea, dragged into an alleyway and forced to type until it was done.
Sappy, angsty, Levi/Eren fic, to be precise. Please don't kill me, I know they're such a cliche couple and really hard to write plausibly but there's so much ( Read more... ) -
Attack on Titan
This is probably a bit superfluous, but Attack on Titan (Shingeki no Kyojin - a name I can never remember) is utterly amazing and if you've got the stomach for it, it's pretty bloody, you should definitely watch it if you haven't already ( Read more... ) -
And then there was rain.
The heatwave is over. We've been swinging between maximum temperatures of mid to high thirties and minimum temperatures of mid to high twenties for the past few days. Stradbroke Island (just off the coast from Brisbane) was on fire for most of the weekend, and yesterday evening the smoke was so thick I couldn't see the city. When I went to bed, I ( Read more... ) -
Happy New Year!
As is usual for my New Year's post, time to list the books I've been reading over the past twelve months. This year I started a 'to read' list, writing down titles of books I should or want to read. Even though this list has no deadline, the sheer fact of its existence is probably the reason why I've read nearly forty books this year. I'm ( Read more... ) -
Christmas
Belated season's greetings all. I hope everyone had a good time, or at very least not too crap a time. I've been lounging around doing not much for a few days and eating gingerbread. I didn't even get to open the butter biscuits there was so much gingerbread ( Read more... ) -
Two Ideas
So, after temporarily(?) abandoning the Pile of Suck, I've been trying to take things slow, stare at the sky, and brainstorm without a pen in my hand so I don't just write down the first stupid thing that comes into my head ( Read more... ) -
A holiday, you say?
Last week I finished my first draft. It really wasn't anything to celebrate, I roughed out the last couple of chapters as fast as I could just to get it done. I hate it. I'd like a second opinion, but on the other hand I half arsed the last little bit so I know it's bad. The best I can do is try and forget about it for a while, and think of other ( Read more... )
