there's never an end to the links
Oct. 6th, 2010 01:48 pmI tried to separate these out but got overwhelmed by categorization; therefore, another haphazard mess! Trigger warnings apply to some of the following. ( cut for A LOT )
ahhhhhhhhhh
Jun. 12th, 2010 11:26 pmFinishing GGK's Under Heaven + brunch of fandom funtimes + World Cup watching* + new phone** + devouring Dragon Soul in two hours = DAY OF EPIC WIN!
(I think I'll need to reread for proper commentary on Under Heaven as I read it in seven random trips to Borders as opposed to all at once. As to Dragon Soul... JAIDANI, AAADSJ:DLKFJS:LDGKHSDF!!!! Hello again, incoherency~ &hearts &hearts)
Real book-blog post tomorrow! Hopefully. :D
*SO MANY GIFS/MACROS TO BE MADE OF TODAY'S FOOTAGE. WHERE ARE THEY??? Also, awesome peeps I was hanging with today: you may be interested to know that on my way to the subway station, I saw not one guy wearing a flag, but three. Dressed up as knights, even!
**Phone only, not the number. Also I switched to TMobile (woe(?)), but that is barely even a sour note in my current state: which is to say, wallowing in UTTER GLEE.

Amazon; Barnes & Noble; blurb from Random House. ROOK AND THOM, you guys! ROOK AND THOM.

Poem for today:
Enough to Say It's Far
About the distance
to the sun and moon, to the stars,
whatever else, it is
enough to say it's far.
And the distance between
my love and me,
since it cannot be measured with a rule,
for this too
it is enough to say it's far.
I cannot see beyond
these things, afloat,
glimmering,
in the bowl of cool water.
And because of my thirst
now I have no other thought
than to drink of this cool water.
-- Pak Chaesam

slightly schizophrenic soundtrack
Sep. 30th, 2009 04:53 pmCoworker's played-list so far today has gone something like this: Lady Gaga --> Mary J. Blige --> Daughtry --> LOTR soundtrack (just another normal day in the lab...), therefore I give you meme responses. What? Randomness makes me think of random things.
OTP-meme answers so far:
heathershaped & eumelkeks asked for ( Merlin: )
such_heights and woldy asked for ( HP: )
ruffwriter asked for ( Havemercy-verse: )
moshesque asked for ( Saiyuki: )
I am totes willing to keep answering if you guys keep throwing fandoms at me! *g* I have LOTS of them. Also, have a rec! Viasecretsolitaire: Between the Bars by hollycomb [Reboot; Sulu/Chekov; R]. IT IS GLORIOUS. GLORIOUS, I TELL YOU.

Jul. 30th, 2009 11:35 pmas I am taking a brief emotional health break from IBARW. (The post I planned is draining, is all; I shall recommence tomorrow.)
1. Have purchased and devoured Jaidani's SHADOW MAGIC, OMG! SO GOOD. SO SO GOOD. I MIGHT LOVE IT EVEN MORE THAN HAVEMERCY, FOR SRS. If any of you guys have read it, BRING ON THE SQUEE. :D SUBTEXT! SUBTEXT EVERYWHERE, IN LARGE AND SPARKLY LETTERS! (I am resisting![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
thremedon at the moment, as I don't want to accidentally spoil anybody.) Also, I have some flaily race-related thinky-thoughts (of the win variety) just waiting to emerge, so, y'know, let me know when more of you guys have read it! A party of one ain't a party. *g*
2. Also! I received a NYR story today: Deserving, by mechaieh! It's Haru wo Daiteita, and features Yoshizumi, and is just about making my life- outside of the aforementioned, anyway. ;)
PS- I have been failing MASSIVELY at reading things other thanibarw lately, so please hurl your links at me: fic must-reads, personal posts, lulz, macros, music/picspams, rants, whatever. I promise I'll play catch-up after this week is over! &hearts
ETA: WIRELESS!FAIL, omg. Have been trying to post this for an hour.
