Overall: This movie was a weird, surrealistic effort to take a children’s book originally published in the 1950s and translate it to 2014. Some random thoughts: Some of the visual effects were really cool, like the changing tree art in the Browns’ house. But the movie as a whole kept making me think of a […]
Getting a little ahead of myself — this background of this pic is pretty obviously the carpet (aka workspace) and not the door, but it *will* be on the door soon, so… Happy soon-to-be June! (it’s about 6 inches by 6 inches, made using craft foam sheets — they come with adhesive backing now, which […]
Not a fic rec today, but a shoutout and kudos to AO3’s “subscribe” option. I never used to be a huge fan of reading WIPs as they’re going, mostly because I either a) forgot about them; or b) checked them every day, which was handy for helping me remember them, but frustrating in terms of […]
I took today off from work so I could take my car to the garage for some stuff. (Which is a 100% AWESOME reason to tell me if they ask why you are taking a day off, by the way! Highly recommended! I mean, in this case it happened to be true, but it’s not […]
Last night I was all ‘I will use my AC!’ And I’m in an apartment with central air, so how hard could it be, right? Turn the thermostat to cool, presto change-o. Mm, not so much. So I spent some time googling ‘how can I tell if my central air is working,’ which — based […]

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long on this one. From the series Bell Curve, by rageprufrock “Things like this never happen when I kept office hours, Rodney! I never accidentally get a baby, Rodney!” –Exponential Curves, or, Chance This series is like the double whammy of quotable quotes, since it’s also the source […]
1. The screens in my apartment building slide up to open, just like the windows. (Thanks, first floor kid who I saw doing this!) 2. Putting down any single window other than the driver’s side front (while on the highway going 65mph) creates a weird wind tunnel pressure effect in my car that is extremely […]
Oh happy day! May your weekend bring you as much joy as sleeping in the sunshine on a pile of blankets!
I read this one just yesterday! Teen Wolf AU, with 500% more superheroes and Hale family members. The Guard and Red, by andavs He always wore all black, aside from a deep red hooded vest strapped across his chest, his nose and mouth covered by black fabric. He looked like he was straight out of […]
