Well. Bye-bye habeas corpus. In the long run, this will go down in history with such sterling pieces of legislation as the Alien and Sedition Acts, but that’s cold comfort now. Who needs basic human rights anyway when King George is looking out for us? At least, those of us […]

Evil!Barb is currently locked in the closet with a gag in her mouth

Otherwise she will say something I will regret over at lateseasonlove.
Gah.
I have been a complete slug this week, although in my brain, I’ve worked out several kinks in the multi-Buffy story, and hopefully I can get another scene done this weekend. The situation at work is still mutating–though the one position went bye bye, […]
Book review
Posted in General on Sep 27th, 2006
I recently finished The Well of Lost Plots by Jasper Fforde, and liked it well enough that I’m considering looking up the rest of the series.
The best way I can think of to describe this book is The Phantom Tollbooth for adults. There’s a lot to like here: sly humor, […]

Far too much vinca.
One of the neighborhood feral cats, lurking in the grapefuit tree and retreating […]
Shallow, shallow, shallow

Over the last few days I have been listening to the news about the Senate/White House wrassling over Common Article 3 as I wrassle with the multi-Buffy story. I realize that one is supposed to compose a soundtrack of suitably angstful music while engaged in fic-wrassling, but my musical education creaked to a halt […]
I’ve been kind of blah lately about various things—that job I applied for at work was eliminated when the department received its leaner, meaner 2007 budget, and this means that there’s very little chance for advancement here in the foreseeable future. And I’m not going to count on getting much of a raise at […]
On conflict

Arr, mateys!
OK, enough pirate talk for one day.
It came to my attention some while back that if someone asked me to write fluff which fit into canon, I probably couldn’t do it. Or at least, if I did it, I’d feel dirty in the morning. I don’t think there’s any spot […]
It’s kind of beautiful when Talk of the Nation’s topic of the hour is “How did you survive the great zombie plague?”
