Snapedom

Hi, my name's elf, and I have a reading problem.

When most people say "reading problem," they mean "the letters look blurry to me" or "I've been assigned more pages than human eyeballs can absorb this weekend" or "ack, my comprehension of Russian is too low for me to get the right concepts out of this physics paper." It almost never means "I think I've been neglecting other parts of my life for reading."

Because reading isn't considered a dangerous addiction. It has no physical side-effects. It doesn't make the mind slow or incompetent. At no point, in the throes of reading, is one incapable of driving or performing surgery, should one's skills go in those directions. (Well, save for the "must put book down" part. However, after that immediate shift in awareness, one's reflexes and attention are both available to whatever tasks might be at hand.)

And it's not expensive. Nobody sells off his car and formal clothes to get books. Nobody hocks her wedding jewelry. Books--really good books--are available everywhere at prices ranging from "cheap" to "free." And the internet hasn't made that any less true. Entertaining content, informative & educational content, useful, delightful, important content, is free by the terabyte.

And oooh, I want to read it ALL.

( I read a lot. I could read a lot more. )

. . . but until then, more random posts.

severus_sighs posted their interview with jadzialove, who just happens to be my beta. *squishes her*

I must point you especially to her answer to number #5, "What is it about Severus you find sexy?" because OMG it's a great answer (in under 100 words).

You know what?
I love Galaxy Quest. I love it so much that I got the Blue Ray and I just spent an hour watching it dubbed in Thurmian. O.o

I think it's time to go to bed.

I think I saw the first Kizuna OVA before I read any yaoi manga, so that was probably my introduction into yaoi. However, the first manga titles that I bought were Only the Ring Finger Knows and Golden Cain.

After much swearing and hairpulling: My Masterlist of fic and art is finally up to date again :D

MASTERLIST

I report a happy accident of the kind the Muse she loves to arrange: I searched the Thesaurus for a better word than 'unique' for Ms. Odo, and it gave me 'curious' with this string of possible synonyms. I loved them all.

Thank you for all your wit and wisdom, blessings on you and your family for joy and abundance!

it seems my laptop has died a death and is not worth repairing - hoping to recover files, though

So, have had to crank up the old pc again - doesn't like being started very much, I notice, and also freezes on me a lot - fingers crossed this doesn't pack in as well - at least until i decide if i'm going to buy a new laptop or have a christmas whipround the aged relatives and wangle a mac somehow. I'm reallly fed up of throwing good money after bad.

opaljade. I wish you the best of day!

It's hard to believe otherwise when you look at things like these:

I. Love. Gossip. Girl.


...and want to roleplay it like badly.

Thanks (I think) to fjm on lj for pointing me at the winners of this year's Bad Sex Awards these are definitely NC17, all het-male pov and confirm my belief that, in this area at least, amateurs do it better.

Though I have to admit that I don't think that Richard Millward belongs in this company - his scene has an authentic ring to it, and at least has the virtue of being intentionally funny.
