Watch the Sky

January 6, 2012 by

I spent yesterday rebuilding my laptop again. Which somehow means that I’m going to be working this weekend so that I’m ready to go back to work on Monday. There’s something wrong there… But while I’m banging my head against the wall, I offer you this video of gorgeousness because I’d much rather be staring […]

Support Your Local Zombie Apocalypse

December 30, 2011 by

0

I don’t know about you, but sometimes when I hear people planning for the inevitable zombie apocalypse I start to wonder if they’re looking forward to it. If that’s you, or, you know, you think your exercise routine needs a bit more of an adrenaline rush (or you enjoy framing your whole life as a […]

This is What Language Tastes Like

December 28, 2011 by

There’s a school of thought that suggests that the reason creative types are so known for being mad, drunk or junkies is because in some metaphysical way the crazy, the alcohol and the drugs are being translated into brilliance. People being what they are, it’s not terribly surprising that someone wondered if you could make […]

The Contradiction of the Writer’s Brain

December 20, 2011 by

0

I have another proposal to write. So I’m trying to convince my brain that I’m brilliant while it mutters to itself in the corner about inappropriate commas and word duplication. See, I have these two completely contradictory desires — for everyone to read my work and to not let anyone see it. Which I think […]

How Not to Pacify the Savage Beast

December 13, 2011 by

Yesterday I didn’t get to sleep until after Rick’s alarm went off at 5am. By nine I was awake again. Which makes for a grand total of 14 hours in the last three days. I just thought that I should tell you that. In case I start screaming incoherently or something. And while I’ve been […]

I Demand Retribution. Or Justice. Or Something. Will Settle For Having 2011 Back.

Rick: It was me. I did it while you were sleeping. Me: Oh come on, what are the odds of that happening? Rick: Not good? Okay, I knocked you out. Me: You actually think you could get away with that? Rick: I’m a ninja. Me: And you think I wouldn’t notice the concussion when I […]

Two Steps Forward, Eight or Nine Steps Around the Mulberry Bush and a Couple Down the Rabbit Hole

December 7, 2011 by

There was a moment — and it was an awesome beautiful moment — when there were only four tabs open in my browser. And for that brief instant (okay, it was Wednesday, most of Wednesday) I thought I’d somehow gotten it together. That I was not in fact drowning, despite the whole ‘it’s December’ situation. […]

My Laptop and I Are Fighting Again

December 6, 2011 by

Me: Pan and I are fighting again. Claire: What does he want this time? Me: To drive me insane as far as I can tell. Paul S: It’s working. Me: Thanks. (sigh) At least you didn’t say I’m already insane. Which I thought was quite kind of them given they’d been hearing screaming and assorted […]

Revera Linguam Latinam Vix Cognovi

December 2, 2011 by

2

I can’t speak French. I also can’t speak Latin and a lot of other languages. But it’s those first two that bother me the most. Latin because I’m unreasonably fond of it and like to make bad jokes that nobody understands and French because I’ve quit learning French four times. In year two, in year […]

A Whole Different Kind of Panic

November 30, 2011 by

2

Me: I hope you don’t get bored. It is academic after all. And the intro, I think, is pretty dull. But… there are humorous chapter titles. Claire: Stop with the justifications woman, I haven’t even started it yet! Me: I have residual anxiety when it comes to my thesis. A thesis is a funny thing. […]
