A big thank you to cmk418 for hosting a special hardtime100 challenge for Friday's International Women's Day! It was a great idea and generated some amazing women-centric drabbles. If you haven't already, check them out HERE under the "ch 132 women of Oz" tag ( Read more... )

Thanks to a recent positive review by the_emu, I just finished reading "World War Z" by Max Brooks, a book about a world-wide zombie apocalypse. I really enjoyed it and found the concept fascinating (yeah, I know I'm a little late to the zombie game). I loved the format of the book, too, written as a series of transcripts of interviews with various  ( Read more... )

So, I don't usually post personal things here, but I'm so proud I could burst and thought I'd share!

Today, my oldest child graduated from Michigan State University (a semester ahead of schedule!) with a BA in Criminal Justice (shout-out to suespur!). Here's a photo of us taken on campus after the ceremony (the hockey arena and football stadium can be ( Read more... )

So, Tom Fontana and I were chatting the other night...

LOL. Actually, we just exchanged comments on Instagram, but I am still tickled pink about the whole thing!

Tom had posted a stock photo of the infamous St. Elsewhere snow globe, and I left a comment asking him if it was true that he still had it (which I had read in a recent interview). And ( Read more... )

I'm trying to start my Oz story for spook_me, and I've realized that probably the hardest part of writing any story is simply starting the damn story. Because the idea is all there in my head, but it's intimidating to take that first step of coming up with and writing down that first sentence. So, I just do it, writing down perhaps not the best sentence, ( Read more... )

This was a GREAT episode, aided significantly by the heavy emphasis on Beecher, who finally decides he's fucking had enough. Woot! My only quibble was the overall flow of the episode-it seemed disjointed, and the tone of the first half seemed different than that of the second half. It's hard to explain, but it was almost like I'd watched two ( Read more... )

This was another one of those episodes where a lot of things happened that I really didn't remember. I'm glad I'm doing this rewatch!
