2013 Oscar round-up
A trifle late because Oscar Sunday intersected with Purim and G-d and family always come before Hollywood ego fests, but here's my yearly round-up of cheers and jeers on a 24-hour tape delay :-)

The London Olympics: 16 Days of Awesome
Have been terribly scarce here, but couldn't let an Olympics pass without a round-up of the highs and lows of London.

Book Worm
Sometimes these quiz things are so utterly predictable :-).
And I can't remember who I gakked this from because it's early in the morning and I haven't consumed enough caffeine yet.

Time Stamp Meme, Take 2
One week after his return to Princeton-Plainsboro, Robert Chase was feeling a tad more comfortable with the idea of his mutancy, but far less sanguine about his ability to hide his genetic status. Charles Xavier had been right-it had turned out to be a lot easier than he thought to adapt to his "gift.'

I've been sorted!

Feedback, Pastrami, and the Tigers
So I'm amused and perplexed and all sorts of things. "Mind Over Matter" has gotten an excellent reception from the House and X-squads alike, for which I'm exceedingly grateful--instant feedback rocks. But FF.Net's stats, I admit have me scratching my head. "Mind Over Matter" has gotten more hits in 3 days then "Playing for Position" got in 8 months ( Read more... )
