Retiring the LJ
The time has finally come to retire the LJ. Not that I've posted here frequently as of late, but I've been working on MY NEW WEBSITE. *bounces*
If your posts are public, then I'll still be reading only from my feed reader rather than from here. If your posts are private, then I hope you shoot me a friend request over on Facebook. Or Twitter. I'll ( Read more... ) -
Impenetrable fortress of chlorophyll and the right poking eye effect
I don't spend a particularly large amount of time looking at statistics, but every once in a while I like to indulge myself in a game of Search Term Roulette, in which I flip through to see what strange things people have searched to find my sites. The winner of this round is "impenetrable fortress of chlorophyll" followed by "poke someone right in ( Read more... ) -
My thoughts on SVU 12 x 6 “Branded”
Overall the episode is an improvement. The plot twists were interesting, although they failed to hold up if you poked at them even a little.
Warning: Spoilers. All over the place. You should probably go watch the episode before reading this or you’re just going to end up hearing my voice narrating over the episode and you ( Read more... ) -
I'll just be over here, preparing to hibernate
It's that time of year again, the time when the weather starts to get cold and I prepare to hibernate in the Cassandra Cave with lots of heaters and food for the winter months. This usually entails me reading a lot and vowing to finish what has become known as "That Stupid Book I'm Going to Finish Even If it Kills Me" and preparing for National ( Read more... ) -
Accidently set my face on fire
You know how you get to that almost afternoon slump when you're all "I just need food and caffeine and I'll be able to pretend I'm huuumaaaan" but you're actually melting into a puddle of useless under the desk? So then you kind of blindly shuffle into the kitchen to slice some tomatoes and haphazardly throw whatever condiments/spices stumble into ( Read more... ) -
Some Questions You've Probably Never Been Asked Meme
Just yesterday I declared I was going to post frequently, and I WAS. Except then I found out I actually had to go to Philly and only have gotten time to post now. So instead you get a meme while I finish reading Zombies vs Unicorns.
Directions: Tag whoever you want and answer if you feel like it...
1. First thing you wash in the shower? Your mom.

Diagnosis Mockingjay
I'm fairly certain I've got a bad case of Mockingjay Flu, or possibly Post Traumatic Mockingjay Disorder. Symptoms include a crippling inability to write more than 140 characters as well as general lethargy combined with an overall sense of impending doom. That combined with the amount of stuff that's piled up for review and how I still haven't ( Read more... ) -
Music from the road...
These are basically the songs that got me through the driving-all-nighters, in case you were wondering. I fully admit I have ecclectic tastes in music. Don't judge me.
1. God's Country by Ani Difranco
This is just... yes. On repeat. All the time.
2. Half Acre by Hem
I'd not heard this one before, but now I'm positively addicted to it. I'm ( Read more... ) -
I can never...
"I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in life." - Sylvia Plath
I stumbled over this quote the other day ( Read more... ) -
Cassandra’s Bardic Blogging Tour
Many of you may have been wondering why I’ve been chained to my desk lately and now I’m going to tell you. I have always wanted to drive across the country. Always. Even before I could actually drive this has been a dream of mine. So when I was informed that my presence was required in Vancouver, British Columbia this summer I said “You ( Read more... )
