Books, and Nano 2012
Hurricane Sandy hit the Pittsburgh area on Monday night. We were late getting in, due to my bus passing me by, Brian having to do a detour to pick me up, and then a lengthy grocery run. But eventually we were in the house, our groceries were packed away, and I was able to curl up in the den with a blanket and my new copy of The Girl Who Fell ( Read more... ) -
Finally Home
Well, it's official: Brian and I are moved into our new house. Granted, we still have a lot of stuff in storage and a few odds and ends at the old apartment (which is now so much bigger without all our furniture crammed into it!). But the majority of our furniture and our non-storage stuff is at the house. Now comes the long act of unpacking, ( Read more... ) -

Tomorrow, thanks to the work of fans in gathering up 100k likes and shares, The Legend of Korra is premiering its first two episodes online tomorrow, three weeks ahead of its official TV debut ( Read more... ) -
January is nearly over.
So it has been too long since I've posted on LJ, and my friends list is woefully blank. I think most people have moved on to Facebook or DeviantArt. Ah, well ( Read more... ) -
NoNaNoWriMo
So there's less than a week till Nanowrimo hits, and I'm not sure what (if anything) will be my goal. As much as I love participating, or at least setting myself some crazy writing goals for the month, I'm also not in the mood for it right now. Right now, I'm trying to finish up the second Tanna story, which is moving forward slowly but surely. ( Read more... ) -
In Dinotopia, time is conceptualized as a spiral
So it's been a while since I posted. Life has just been...life, I guess? Busy, sometimes frustrating days at work, quiet or busy nights at home, going to see friends, having friends over, playing video games, reading, writing. Last Saturday my department was treated to dinner on the Gateway Clipper; it would've been nice to bring Brian along, ( Read more... ) -
Sharing Food and Joy
There is something profoundly irritating about the genre of Training Video Narratives. It is rife with obnoxious employees wallowing in their own ignorance or gleefully reveling in their consequence-free, illegally-obtained privileges. "YESS! Matching jet-skis, here I come!" they cry, fist-bumping the camera. And then things get weird. The ( Read more... ) -
Tulsa Trip, Part I
So two weeks ago, Brian and I took a road trip to Tulsa. If I sat here and tried to write it down in a standard journal style, it would take forever. So if this entry is a little spastic, that's because I'm doing a 'scrapbook' type of approach. I want to capture as many memories as possible, so consider these the highlights. (I'm still probably ( Read more... ) -
Take out all the pauses, and New Moon would be about 30 minutes long
I'm glad the Rapture didn't happen this Saturday, though I feel sorry for the victims who were caught up in this mania. I wish them the best finding their way back to living here in the world that God gave us. As for me, I watched New Moon with Rifftrax on Friday night, and if that ended up being the last movie I saw here on Earth, I would've ( Read more... )
