Chai lattes and Cabin Pressure are two of my new favorite things (thanks to scarvenartist, for introducing me to the latter \o/). I'm already terribly attached to prefacing suggestions by saying, "Hey Chief. I could be wrong..." XD

Also, I've realized recently how many stories I've left to sit in folders unfinished. Some of them are so close to being finished ( Read more... )

I hope you have a wonderful day, mellon-nin! :)

So, I had an awesome birthday.

I got to see The Hobbit for the second time Friday evening - and I have to say, seeing it in 3D improved some of the action scenes in a way I really hadn't expected. Previously, my least favorite scene was the rock giants, but that whole scene made so much more sense in 3D. In regular view, I think your depth ( Read more... )

I'll try and be brief about the drama that has been my personal saga of Gum Surgery. Suffice it to say I've already had it done once, about four years ago, and the expirince was aweful - and, to boot, it didn't even work. So I was dreading having it done again (yesterday). But the expirince was so much better this time around. The surgeon didn't ( Read more... )

It's been a thoroughly cold, grey, drizzly, wear-your-favorite-over-large-sweater kind of week - baking weather, in my book. And baking in the fall must involve cinnamon whenever possible. Because cinnamon is the coziest spice evar. Which leads me to ask: do any of you have favorite fall recipes to recommend? Breads and desserts are my vice ( ( Read more... )

  I hope you have a fantastic day, kriadydragon! I wish I could make you some non-virtual cupcakes, but these will have to suffice. :D

I don't properly have the excuse of not having the time to post to LJ...only, I've been wearing so many hats lately, it's more like I've maxed out on the tasks my CPU can handle. For one thing, I've been getting really strict with myself to write every day. And I think it's been three months now, that I've done so dutifully, only taking Sundays and ( Read more... )

I think I'm driving my family a little crazy right now with my Spring-fever-ish need to organize and redecorate. I'd really like to paint one wall of my room pale yellow, and get white curtains to lighten up the place. We'll see when that happens... But in the meantime I did get a beautiful white pillow with bright green embroidered vines on it ( ( Read more... )

Down to the Green

Rating: PG-13 (violence)

Summary: Peter Burke, of the Pinkerton Detective Agency, is finally in town to put a stop to a string of train robberies - with the help of Neal Caffrey, former outlaw, confidence man, and gambler extraordinaire.

“Down to the green” def. (poker term): When a player has gone all in.

It's amazing how nostalgic movies can be. Cami and I have been sorting through some old bins of VHS cassettes of movies/TV shows we taped off TV, getting rid of what we can buy (extremely cheaply, especially since they're older movies, and especially since the emergence of Blu Ray) on DVD. Now that some of those DVDs have arrived, we'd been ( Read more... )
