2015, y'all. This has not really been my year. As I look back at the, what, four posts so far this year, I see all my January hopes, my late May broken foot low point (long story: turned out not to be broken after all, and my podiatrist is a moron, but we're way past that in medical tales), and one would hope I would have sprung back from all that ( Read more... )

Remember how I was going to write more this year? Ha!

Other of my January intentions went fairly well, though. I wanted to embrace some kind of fun, physical, childlike way of movement. I started dancing in my living room. I talked about parkour and jazzAnd then I went beyond talking and actually signed up for a beginner parkour class. Y'all, so ( Read more... )

Once upon a time, I had a record called "Tina the Ballerina." I was maybe 4 or 5. I LOOOOOOOOVED it. I would dance around the living room, spinning and twirling. I had no more grace then than I do now, and once I twirled so hard that I lost my balance and knocked out my two front teeth on the piano bench (baby teeth, fortunately). That was ( Read more... )

This is my seventh post of 2014, the previous six all coming before May. Meep! One of my goals for 2015 is to write more. Just more, period, about whatever. Maybe (hopefully) fic, and fannish commentary and so forth, but probably also just a lot of whatever. Feel free to read and comment, or not, if you're still around anyway. But I'm getting rusty ( Read more... )

Over the past few months I've been working my way through a full rewatch of The West Wing, concluding in a 2 1/2-day mainline of season 7 when I was home sick this week. My initial watching had not been that methodical. I didn't start at the beginning, but did watch regularly from season 2-ish through season 5-ish when it was airing. Then the end ( Read more... )

Thing one: some of you eat paleo, yes? Here's my thing. I was a gluten-free vegetarian, but I've been having so many more GI-related problems in the past few months, and I've now cut dairy and legumes, which seems to be helping. Except that there go my two primary sources of protein. So I've been sucking it up and making myself eat small quantities ( Read more... )

My recent coming out of fic hibernation made me remember that I had never actually gotten around to posting my fic to A03. I know, I know, I'm only about four or five years late to this party. :) But in case anyone is interested, here be fic. Somewhat curated, so you won't find every snippet ever, or a lot of pellucid: the early years. But most of ( Read more... )

I wrote a fic!!!! First one in three years!!! It was for

So 2014. Not such a great year so far. Work has been insane, and I've been having a bunch of health problems that have exacerbated the work craziness and probably also been exacerbated by it. But the two big, stressful work deadlines are in the past, and I've got a medical test on Wednesday that promises some answers (*fingers crossed*), so I'm ( Read more... )

Ficathon!!! I've gone from freaked out to quite excited about
