WHOOPS. Surprise time-warp.

March ended sorta dovetailing between sadness over well-trodden paths falling away, and looking forward to new directions. Owing to the especially persistent case of the flungus (lung-fungus) I caught from the boycreature last week, I haven't been able to do much volunteering lately. Also Miss A has ceased needing regular ( Read more... )

I know I have to eat breakfast and get my butt on the tube in the next half hour, but all I really want to do is read Homestuck and play Mass Effect and have silly arguments with people on the XKCD forums, because if I go outside then the world from last Thursday will be irrevocably changed.

That means I won’t have to tell Miss A and Miss E I’m ( Read more... )

My favorite place for weekly doses of "BAAAAAAW!"-cutesplosions and goaties and sheepies and coveting of ethically farmed knitting supplies is starting up a magazine!

First, just lookit these little darlin's. Look at them! **squee's forever**

Okay now that you are all pumped up with adorabability, and excited about wool and yarn and craftythings, ( Read more... )

Usually it's a big deal if I go a week or more without writing in my paper-journal; in internets-tiem that's like a month of silence. So what has been happening...

Welp, I have been given several heart attacks and subsequent relief-hangovers by the Englandia border jerks, all because my head was too big in the pictures I sent first time around. Now ( Read more... )

I guess now is as good a time as any to mention, for all you eljay peeps, that I have moved over to Dreamwidth for now. This move will probably be a moot point within the next few years, however, as ACTA picks up steam and SHUT UP & BLOW ME come back to Congress shrieking and throwing tantrums until they get ratified >8|

Just yesterday I was ( Read more... )

I am not sure if y'alls are aware of this - I mean maybe some of the writers of these bills had some Greek ancestry somewhere and, against all conservative American ideology, actually kept ties to "foreign" cultures and languages (I will not even begin to touch the dirty-foreigner bullshit, as I would be writing all damn day). But just in case it's ( Read more... )

It's bizarre to me to see stuff I wrote about for the dissertation that got me my MA actually unfolding in the non-academic world. Mostly because I quickly realized that my framing of the matter had to be handled carefully, and considered for much more than a year in order to be fluid enough to be useful and adaptable, but then today I get another ( Read more... )

So for my 26th birthday, Stephen Harper got me a big ol' box of hell NO you ain't gettin' gay-married in Canadia.

THANKS THAT IS JUST WHAT I WANTED 8|

We rang in the New Year with about 6 minutes of TV, because it "functions as a clock everyone can agree on" (~le boycreature), two courses and five platters of more food than the eleven-person extended family could hope to eat in a night, but even the tiny youngladyfolk made a good attempt at it (except the one cousin who was "on a diet," and at ( Read more... )

Merry Yuletiems to all, and to all a good night.

This was a luvly and amazing three days' break; Paris, then pub dinner, then X-mas times with Pirate Fluxx and Cribbage and wintery musics and hotel buffets and prezzies. Thanks, Mom & Dad <3 Thanks, sweetiepumpkinhoneymuffinpie <3 Thanks, friends <3
