Sense 8!
I have been having a long, rough week at work, mostly because of annual reviews and past work angst on top of regular annual review angst ( Read more... ) -
Happy Things!
Boring writing update: Fic has now shot past 13k, and is reaching the point at which I don't know how things are going to happen. I have a general idea, I guess, but the specifics are a little more fuzzy. I think I might be getting close to the point at which I am willing to show it to other people, even though so much of it is terrible. I feel ( Read more... ) -
Ow ow
My parents were in town this weekend, but I got to avoid all the awkward annoying stuff by having them go with me to an open house at a yoga studio.

Second Quest (Comic)
So I ended up reading Second Quest, which is a lovely comic about Zelda (the video game series), an interrogation and deconstruction of it. I want to like it more than I do. It's written by the guy who wrote Saving Zelda and it's drawn by the guy who did the art for Braid, and that was definitely more than enough for me to be willing to give it a ( Read more... )
