Some things of note:
I have been posting mini-mixes of Christmas songs all month; you can get them at the advent music tag on my jf. You can download them direct from my webspace, rightclick+save, and they will be up until either I want to put a new fanmix up or my sister needs the web space.

FREE BOOKS

Thu, 30 Oct 2008 01:09:29 GMT

So, we have recently cleaned out our book collection, and as a result, there are a whole *ton* of books I am getting rid of: lots of older SF particularly, but also some general fiction and some non-fiction.

It would be ignoble of me to use my free virtual gift to send theljstaff a report card of FAIL, right? Right. (I will be strong. Now, if they only still had the flaming bag of poo as an option...)

I spend all evening making icons in order to give myself some time off for perspective, and now LJ won't even let me load icons?

So yesterday we toured the historic fort up at Sandy Hook / Gateway NRA, and the best thing we saw was two of the Victorian gun batteries they have up there, which are right next to each other, and are named Battery Potter and Battery Granger. (Granger was, of course, faster and more long-ranging than Potter, but that's not a suprise.) Then there was the Nine-Gun Battery, which we decided of course was referring to the nine Weasleys.

day 4, morning

Mon, 16 Jul 2007 12:20:48 GMT

Day Four of road trip and we're just south of Boston! We've done most of Acadia National Park over 24 hours and Southwest Harbor on Mt. Desert Island, Old Orchard Beach ME (and last night in Saco on the highway), Mystery Hill NH (aka America's Stonehenge), the largest collective of witch kitcsh in the country (aka Salem MA), and Boston by night. Yesterday is our Weird Stuff day, considering Mystery Hill, Salem, that flight of black helicopters we saw, and UFOs over Saco.

I'm sure you all are tired of me talking about this, but *I'm* not sick of it yet, so there. I'm especially not sick of my "I has a soapbox" icon.

Okay, emily_shore asked if about X-files fics I still had on the back burner (Offer still open for other fandoms.) It didn't fit in one comment. So, uh:

I would do the "WiPs I'm not writing" meme-thingy, but the reason I haven't been writing is that I've lost all the character voices (probably due to not watching much TV lately), so little script-form dialogues with the characters, not so worky. (although if someone wanted to ask me about a fandom in comments, I'd be willing to *try* writing up what I'm not writing in it - I need a kick-start somewhere. And yes, that's *any* fandom whatsoever, whether I've written in it before or not.)

Today's been a creepy sort of day - I've got the "am I the only one left alive" feeling I always get when there's been nothing to take me out of the house, and all afternoon the sky's been grumbling away - like it has for days - but not actually going all the way, just holding the tension.

So today, at work, I was reading the MeFi post (the place I was working has lj and gj and f_w (but, oddly, not the rest of journalfen) net-nannied out of access, so I was trying to keep up from the fringes) and they were *mocking* us for singing "Hoist the Colors" all over LJ.

I've heard lots of theories about what POTC3 was supposed to be about: honor, love, choosing sides, making your own way ... but I think I've figured it out for *reals*.

...was awesome.
No, seriously. It was so awesome that it took me about five minutes to get my land legs back afterward. I was pitching all over the aisle on the way out, but I didn't actually notice until I fell over, because the floor is *supposed* to sway like that. Right?

Best birthday *ever*. Got everything that was on my list to do (sleep in hammock, sketch, rock-balance, roast potatoes in open fire, sing, tell stories, go to festival, go to bookstore, hike, see Sarah, geocache, belly-dance) except kite-flying and canoeing, due to factors out of my control.

In which I cannily pretend to talk about Star Trek, but am actually talking about fanfic instead.

Fri, 04 May 2007 04:03:11 GMT

So things conspired against me - which is to say, ST coming up in a bunch of online conversations, and me finally getting my hands on "The Empty Chair" and my sister buying all the DVD sets and carrying them about like a security blanket - and I ended up spending much of the evening putting Star Trek books into LT. The number of more useful things I could have been doing instead is as myriad as ... well, as myriad as the Star Trek books, but Used Book Sale Season is coming up. And anyway, sometimes a girl just needs to spend some time with her Star Trek books.
