Channeling Morpheus Special: Payback $1

Think all vampire books are the same? Think again.

Michael is a reckless vampire hunter who lures in his prey by posing as bait, captivating his quarry with kohl-rimmed bedroom eyes. Wild Bill is the enigmatic smartass in ripped jeans and black leather he can’t seem to shake. And Channeling Morpheus is their story: a sultry slice of Americana served up with a steamy helping of dark obsession. No...

My brain, she is a clown car

So, life goes whacko for a while and it seems my brain takes that as a sign that it must generate a bazillion new story ideas that must be written right now omg! and then I get all flustered and have to slouch down to my cave for a while until life calms down and The Muse stops whipping plots at me like darts through her bony fingers. Life has not exactly calmed down, but I’ve been working steadily on one story for a while now, when I can, so I’m taking that as a good thing.

Now, usually I don...

Someone pass me the Kleenex

Why do I watch Rent every time it's on when I know Angel is going to wreck me and make me useless for days? :( Quick someone hug me!

Paranorman next because it looks cute and I need cute.

Hey we never did the post-Christmas thing. Whad'ya get? (Clothes and kitchen stuff for me because apparently I am a poorly dressed kitchen wench. :/ Well okay last year it was a car so that's kinda hard to top. See? I can be reasonable!)

Seattle's First Day Of Marriage Equality

THIS made me cry soppy emo tears of wedding-y happiness. Only look if you have time to touch up your eyeliner. (No, I really really mean it.)

And I have to link THIS ONE, too, because I miss my hockey (damn you, NHL lockout!) and I used to love watching Sean Avery on the ice.

There have been some really good strides made toward acceptance in pro sports this year, which I think is a very important stepping-stone. I think one of the ways to make ‘the gay issue’ the nonissue it should be is for th...

WTF local supermarkets?

And WTF Keebler Elves? while I'm at it.

There are no Almond Crescents! ANYWHERE!! Every year I wait for my Almond Crescents, and this year? No Almond Crescents! *weeps* Have the Keebler Elves gone on strike? Did their tiny little tree factory burn down? Did they switch their tiny elf religion and don't believe in the joy of almondy goodness anymore?

Apparently, I looked so distraught this morning while searching the Giant grocery store that the manager came over to see why I was attempting to c...

*thud*

In all the many (mumblety) years I’ve been admittedly somewhat obsessed with hobbits, and Frodo in particular (because I always eventually come back around to Frodo--shut up, crushing on a tiny little fictional character is normal, my therapist told me so!), I can’t say I’ve ever once crushed on a dwarf. But DAY-um.

The full-sized pic is HERE . (Because every time I post a thumbnail-to-full-size link on LJ, GR screws it up and people’s pages go out of whack with giant pics. Er, sorry. I didn’t...

Top Ten List!

*grin* I only get to use this icon once a year and it makes me snicker every time. I would pet him, but he’d probably take my hand off. Because—you know—killer turkey.

Okay, I have a ‘thankful’ list, but first things first:

The Lucas and Alex story (formerly Library-guy and now officially entitled The Queen’s Librarian) will be ready for beta at the end of next week. (A month later than I promised, I know, sorry, but time has not been my friend this autumn.)...

Am I the only one who does this?

I have the Firefly box set plus Serenity on both DVD and the Apple TV. And yet everytime there's a marathon on TV I drop whatever plans I might have had to watch. (Okay I actually had no plans today. But it still counts!)

Also--why do I have no Captain Tight Pants icon? *makes note to remedy heinous oversight*

For anyone who doesn't know and might be interested--there's a Firefly reunion special tonight on the Science Channel. Shiny!

OMG MAKE IT STOP!

Phew. Voted. Done. Thank god. I usually love election day, but this election season has made me weary like none other and I'm glad to be done with my part.

On that note, this made me giggle:




Now if I can just stay away from all the manic coverage until everything's counted...

Oh, okay, FINE!

Everyone's battening down around here, so I guess it's time to give everyone a wave in case I don't see you for a few days. Last I heard the worst of Frankenstorm isn't supposed to hit until later tonight or early tomorrow but the rain and winds are definitely kicking up already. Schools and nonessential government operations are shutting down, and hospitals are cancelling anything that doesn't have to do with actually taking care of sick people.

We're not exactly on high ground, but we're not...
