...oh my god, how has it been so long since I actually was here?
It didn't seem that long, if it helps. It probably doesn't.
In any case: update. I've completed my level 5 in goblin wrangling early childhood development. It was tough. Tough but good. One of those things you never really figure as being a good fit for you until you're smack bang ( Read more... ) -

So, LJ, I live -- well, sort of ( Read more... ) -
quick update
Syfy is a magical thing, truly. Not unlike Eddie Izzard's singing voice, which seems to be made for sea shanties.
But I digress.
I have mostly survived a month on my own with the brother-creatures. Nobody has starved - though there have been times where I have been sorely tempted to remind them all that I, as keeper of the purse strings, could fuck ( Read more... ) -
quick update
In an effort to get things rolling again (I know, I know) I've signed up for a weekly pledge at wordery - seven hundred words in a week, it seems reasonable enough. The important thing is getting back into a habit and then, hopefully, building on that habit. Especially if I'm hoping to finally win NaNo this year.
Also, I've recently discovered Smashwords ( Read more... ) -
quick update
So, week one of "you and your brother's attempting to co-exist like adults" down and four and a half, give or take, to go. I'm trying to figure out a nice way to point out to my mother - who seems to be having a lovely time traveling through Italy - that while I'm thrilled she's having such fun I'm beginning to get rather annoyed by the fact that ( Read more... ) -

quick update
So, I've started watching Secret Diary of a Callgirl.
I've already breezed right through seasons one and two. It's deceptively good, actually; I'm going through a bit of a James D'Arcy phase and - oh my god, he's in this and I am already making with all the Kermit flails - while Billie Piper isn't really that bad it's just so difficult to take it ( Read more... ) -
quick update
So Black Heart is done - it's one of those wonderful books that you can actually finish in a single sitting; a good, meaty story that's not so long that you can easily be bored by it. Now I need to decide whether to tackle Runelight - which is about twice the size and if it's anything like it's predecessor is chock full of Norse Gods, goblins and ( Read more... ) -
quick update
So, two things:
Thing the first; all my books have arrived! Saturday through to early morning Tuesday were kind of iffy but this has redeemed it. I've already started in on Black Heart; I can tell it's already going to be a good as the first two in the trilogy. I am so excited ( Read more... ) -
quick update
So, next on the list of television shows I'm in need of catching up on - Witchblade, regrettably, only lasts two seasons and come it's second season it does the weirdest things; it's possible I missed some vital clue in season one but... it's annoying - is Roswell. A real blast from the past, that one; it's a bit like a YA novel come to life. ( Read more... )
