New Louis XIV album... can't decide if it's better or worse or just so different I can't manage it right now. But I do like it!

Okay, so THAT is a Super Bowl, if anyone was wondering. I mean no, I did not expect it, but it was damn fun to watch! Damn, Eli. You looked terrible at the beginning of the season, but you just outplayed Super-Man straight up. Cheers, pal. Just goes to show some people work best under pressure.

Upsets are ALWAYS awesome... unless it's your team ( Read more... )

By the way: if you don't want your journal to be LJ "featured content", better opt out! Another reason LJ is lame. Why the fuck would you make a JOURNALING SITE a user-generated content site? Isn't that totally anti the concept of a JOURNAL? Anyhow it automatically excludes flocked entries, but it doesn't exclude communities unless the specific ( Read more... )

The weekend has been a great success. Nick and Shannen got hear earlyish on Friday afternoon, and we introduced them to Lebanese cuisine (not readily available in West Virginia.) Then they went to the mall on Saturday, came back, we went to Jaleo and wined and dined everyone properly, discovering a marvelous new Spanish grape in the process ( Read more... )

Couldn't resist when I saw this from matttheminion and timshel.

Today it snowed prettily (and is still attempting to give us more on and off) and I finished another first draft of a completely unrelated book to the last one. More of a novella really, whatever that means-- though I guess it's about 50k words and that qualifies. It's a bit of a fairy tale, and it comes out all right in the end. For the bad guy, ( Read more... )

Welllllllll this might be a long week, judging from the massive swelling on the right side of my face. I thought the killer pain was coming from weather-headaches at first, then I thought it was coming from a tooth (broken crown? new cavity? I don't know, but it hurts!), but now it's spread to the point that it might as well be my jaw... and ( Read more... )

Well my Steelers screwed the pooch in the first half, though they busted some tail to get up to speed in the second half. It ended up being a better football game than the first half led me to believe it'd be, owned only in the last 40 seconds by a Jacksonville field goal. But they deserved it. Even if it was only by 1 point ( Read more... )

In case anyone wasn't sure, GJ is pretty much officially tanking. Thankfully we've kinda expected this, but since I hate LJ with a fiery burning passion (oh, I have ranted), I've been moving the writing/fandom crap over to Insane Journal for a month or so. I know what a bunch of nonsense, but whatever. I don't think there's anyone here who was at ( Read more... )

Sorry about the tagline, that's Reenie's fault. Or Phonogram's. Same thing. Three days straight after reading it and I'm still stuck with Motorcycle Emptiness in my head. Damn you, Manics!

Anyhow, I'm going to Harrisonburg for the weekend, be back Monday night (sorta, cause mom and dad will be here.) Happy New Year, y'all!
