I am a Pixar junkie. I don’t always love their films (I hated Cars, I really did) and I maintain that the comparative lack of female characters is annoying, but for the most part I love most things Pixar.
When the teasers and trailers for UP first came out, I was nonplussed. I thought the balloons [...]

This kind of made my day. From Moby’s upcoming new album, wait for me.

I love Moby in general, but moody ambient Moby I absolutely adore. And I have a thing for things that are cute but sad.

I had my first professional tarot reading in I can’t even tell you how long this morning.
I’ve been playing e-mail tag with Anya Weber about the progress of the Phantomwise Tarot for awhile now, and I mentioned that I’d love to get a reading from her at some point. She was in Salem today so [...]

Yesterday I finally wrote my synopsis, the boy edited all my grammar, and now I only have a handful of editing notes to address and queries to personalize and then I’ll be all ready to send this crazy novel out into the world. Scary, but exciting.
Also yesterday I made eggplant parmesan and we went for [...]

happy towel day!

Trapped the wonderful land of editing and synopsizing, but I know where my towel is.
Since I am busy being a hoopy frood and trying to condense a non-linear narrative into a cohesive synopsis, here, watch Maru with the Big Box, because it is possibly the best thing ever:

I know, I fail at updating. I have been a busy bee. Well, really, a combination of being sort of busy and also having nothing in particular to say, which seems to be the formula for lack of blog updating. Remind me not to make rash promises about updating every day anymore.
It decided to be [...]

I totally fail at the whole Blog Every Day In May concept. That’s what I get for picking the month Mercury is Retrograde, I suppose. Am still going to endeavor to post more than usual, to not be a quitter.
Expect this post to have little to no coherence. I am staying up until 3am when [...]

Those of you who know me well, or even vaguely, are probably aware that I am somewhat obsessed with a little television show called LOST.
I turn into a squeeing fangirl for very few things. Well, I suppose I respectably fangirl a decent amount of things, but the squeeing is comparatively rare.
I love LOST more than [...]

hatbox!

My hatbox came! Yay!
I have suddenly, without warning or reason, developed a minor obsession with vintage luggage. No idea why. Maybe because vintage pieces of luggage seem like they have so much story in them even when they’re empty. But hey, luggage is useful and I thought of several practical uses for this piece so [...]

We went to see Star Trek this morning. Going in pretty skeptical of all the rave reviews, I was pleasantly surprised. It is really, really good. It’s not flawless, it’s not perfect, but it’s really, really good. 
I had some problems with the plot, I thought the first half was stronger than the last, and I’m [...]
