I've got myself a dreamwidth account now, just in case. This post is mostly just a test to see if I set up the cross-posting thing correctly. I'm really not sure I have the patience to learn a new blogsite. And FOR SOME REASON it seems as if the emails from dreamwidth are a lot slower than LJ, because I still haven't gotten the generic email- ( Read more... ) -
Mockingjay
Read Mockingjay in a day. Most of it at work on Friday, and then I went home and finished it. And, it seems a strange thing to like the first two books more than the third and final, but that's how I feel. It was a good conclusion to the series, but I just enjoyed the first two so much more.

Sign Ups Open August 17-31, 2010
Stories Due October 27, 2010 Sign Up Now!Looks like it could be fun.

I ( Read more... ) -
Recommended reading
A friend of mine mentioned that his younger sister would like me to recommend her some books to read. And seeing as I have been meaning to make a list anyway (because I have a ridiculous OCD love for lists), I thought this was a great opportunity to do so. I am going to organize it by genre at least (I'm not sure I'm feeling ambitious enough to ( Read more... ) -
Sometimes I hate things.
You know that post last week where I said I had to replace a hose in my car? Yeah, well, when it rains, it pours, and this seems doubly true in Florida where it fucking monsoons. Ever since I've owned my car, it has tended to lurch a little when it shifts gears. (It's an automatic, but it's also my first car, and I didn't really do much driving ( Read more... ) -

Stupid people are amusing.
I tend to listen to the news as I get ready for work in the morning. It's not like, important world news, but mostly local stuff that isn't really news to anyone. It's really awful that people leave their dogs and babies in their cars in 90-100 degree heat, but it's not exactly going to start a nuclear war for me to be concerned about. The oil ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
I had to replace a radiator hose this weekend. That was not fun. It was about 100 degrees all weekend, so I had to get up at 7 am yesterday to drive my car to the garage while it was still cool (relatively so, anyway) so it wouldn't overheat. Even so, I'm not certain there wasn't damage to my engine. The hose was replaced, fairly painlessly, ( Read more... ) -

Dream post
Last night's dream was really elaborate, though as usual I can't remember all the details. It started off at work (though it was not my actual job, I know I was at work, and one of the hotel managers was there even though it wasn't the hotel). I was leaving, with three people in tow. Two men and a woman, of indiscriminate age, who don't seem to ( Read more... )
