A Likely Scenario.

Just bought paid time on DW. This is me testing cross posting features.

Also it's my eighth wedding anniversary today. ^_^

Crossposted on IJ/LJ/DW. Comment wherever you please.

Rereading Nightseer by Laurell K. Hamilton, which I definitely read in my formative years but remember only vague yet indelible concepts and scenes from.

My strongest thought so far is 'BUT WHERE DID ALL THIS GO IN YOUR LATER BOOKS, HAMILTON??!?'

No, seriously, there are so many ladies in this book.

No birthday dinner out to eat as there was a massive rain and lightning storm with hail. So I took a rain check.

So had frozen buffalo wings with jalapeno poppers.

Tomorrow we have furniture arriving a new bed (our old one is 10 years old) and a dresser (I've been using a laundry basket for the past five years...) so we won't be going out then.

But we'll be celebrating Eight years of marriage anyways. ^_^

OMG Yay!

My birthday present from Ian is a kindle fire hd 7" screen... and a nifty cover that makes it look like an old book!

Happy days!

I exist! Also have working internet.

Ian drove up here on Wednesday afternoon but we've been lazy and done very little.

It's my 29th birthday today... can't wait to have my carrot cake and birthday dinner. Now if only I could decide where I'd like to go.

I need a Jane icon, although my monster girls icons will probably do fine in a pinch.

1. My laptop is dead and my charger has given up the ghost, so for the moment my computer time is...flexible. Let's call it that. That sounds nice.

2. I have a surprisingly wide excitables list for next year. Black Sails, Sleepy Hollow, Gothica, tentatively Almost Human...but like Defiance, I think I'm going to try and wait it out until season one is finished before I start watching. I've discovered I do much better that way? BUT IT'S HAAAARD

3. I'd be excited about Epic - and I'm seeing it everywhere - except Fungus Grotto is a carbon copy of their plot, only progressive. Like, the 'goes to the miniature/otherwise alien-yet-familiar world is a familiar plot points, especially with fairies and lost parental figures and size shifts (I think Alice in Wonderland influenced the form that a lot of Western 'under the mound' type stories take hugely) and it looks like this takes a seriously different form, but at the same time I keep thinking - I saw this. It had a WOC as a lead, with a live and active female beloved parental figure, and I waaaaant that one. Anyway, who knows. It would be a good family film so when it comes out I might use it to tug Mom and Sam out of the house, and I'll keep an open mind.

4. I thought I was fully done with TVD, but I went back out of curiosity to watch the last episode, and now the events of the finale (which I knew better than to watch) have been so vile to hear about I suspect my brief dip in the pool has left me scummy with lingering investment.

5. I am drinking REALLY GOOD VODKA tonight.
