This past weekend I had my first real (read: non-buffet) dosa at an Indian restaurant. Wow. Amazing. I would have gone back the next day for another one if we hadn't been halfway across the county looking for couches, lol. I really hate messy food and food that you have to eat with your hands (and the dosa definitely qualifies on both counts) but ( Read more... )

It's probably the sickness, but my dreams have been especially vivid this week. I had one last night where I was part of what was quite possibly the crappiest team of adventurers ever. I have no idea what we were even questing for (actually, I don't think I knew during the dream) but we kept getting hung up at the same point. There was a genie who ( Read more... )

Ugh. This has been a really crappy week already, but last night it got so much worse. My writing computer (aka, the one with a working spacebar) is probably dead. In theory there's someone coming on Monday to fix it, but I don't actually know if it's something that can be fixed and given the hellish time I spent on the phone today trying to explain ( Read more... )

I think a lot of you know that I'm in the snowpocalypse area, which means I pretty much haven't left the house in days. It's awful, but oddly enough I've actually found something I like about it. Winter is typically very gray and dim (which is terrible for me because I have SAD) but the snow reflects a lot of the sun so at least everything is nice ( Read more... )

Hoo boy. I really need to start posting more regularly again. Anyway, we went to see Pyaar Impossible last weekend. I actually enjoyed it, which was a surprise because I didn't have a whole lot of faith in Uday's writing skills. It was a cute movie, though--there were some plot holes and such--but it was still a lot of fun, more fun than a lot of ( Read more... )

I read 142 books this year, mostly while Beast-watching. :P Putting them here in a list behind the cut. The ones I liked have a star in front of them, the ones I really didn't like have an X in front of them.

Phew. Been a long time since I've posted anything because anything I posted would be incredibly depressing. Things still aren't all that great, but there are a few bright spots, with the main one being the fact that this week the Beast figured out how to open the baby gate keeping her out of certain places by herself. :D She's been nudging it ( Read more... )

Two memes today. Both came from layla_aaron, who also provided me with questions for the first one ( Read more... )

Why I Love Tashan, Reason #8572:

Saif's face when he starts blasting the flamethrower. Like a kid in the biggest candy store in the world. And it's exactly how I'd look if anyone ever let me use one. :D

I'm juggling three WIPs right now. Two of them are right at the beginning, while the third is a little ways in. I so rarely talk about the WIPs on here (actually, these days I so rarely post anyway), but these feel pretty settled and I think they're all ready to be written so I'm just going to talk a little about them.
