Oh. my. god. 
I just made one of the best book purchases of my life.  (and I owe otakumeep a thank you for the nudge!)

I am now the proud owner of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

It is made of win.  It's completely Pride and Prejudice, with all the recognizable moments, but rife with Zombies and roundhouse kicks.  I love it!  (And I'm not that into zombies ( Read more... )

I've had a long and stressful week that I'd rather not think about.

So here's something that's just too cute to take my mind off things!

Last night, I went to see Coraline which, while being excellent, was still not equal to the book.  But, it was still appropriately chilling and amusing at the same time.  It was a fun little girls night out, although there is one drama llama in our herd who amde things infinitely more complicated under the guise of "just trying to make it easier on ( Read more... )

Back at SU.  Maybe the regular updates will start again.

Or maybe I'll just be buried in a landslide of books and we'll leave it at that.

I'm so busy writing for everything else, it's hard to write for here.  Maybe when I'm done pumping out memoirs and stories about Ireland I can return.  Consider this a hiatus.

Note: I am no longer a Rocky Horror virgin.
