bardic_lady: (epilogue)
I wasn't going to do any year-end wrap-up, but then I looked at my reading spreadsheet and it called out that it needed some closure on the Read 2021 sheet before I started up the Read 2022 sheet, so here we go!
It was not a great year for reading...The Stats )

Forty-eight great playlists, so much excellent music!

"Sure, why not?" she said. "Let's try this other social media platform that I've had an account on for years and never done anything with. It'll be fun!"

Also posted to my Tumblr.

So, 2014… That happened. Most of the year, honestly, was one of the most consistently grinding down bad years I can remember. But not everything sucked! Here are some bright spots:

List! )
And that’s what I’ve got. Bye 2014. Don’t give any hints to 2015 on your way out, I’d like it to be better.

I wrote a thing! Sort of unintentionally. Whee! Songfic, nominally or otherwise, seems to be my thing.

Title: Drunken Sailors
Author: [livejournal.com profile] dramaturgca
Rating: Okay, the boys are naked, but it's so very very mild that honestly, I can't make it more than PG.
Warnings: None atall.

Get thee to an AO3

Huh. I have run into another piece of information that I thought everyone had but apparently they don't.

I thought everyone knew that Dick Grayson and his parents had a circus trapeze act and his parents died because someone tampered with their equipment and then Bruce Wayne adopted Dick and that's how he eventually became Robin and then Nightwing.

Honestly, I thought that was a common knowledge thing.

Huh.

Title: Blue Shirts
Rating: Hard PG (language, suggestions of sexuality)
Pairing: Det. Frankie Red (CSI)/ DS Matt Devlin (L&O|UK)
Notes: This is a teeny tiny snippet of a much larger idea involving casino robberies and Interpol and tranatlantic romance and all sorts of silliness. For the moment though, this is sort of what prompted the whole thing, aside from two very attractive law enforcement officers portrayed by two very attractive actors with proven on-screen chemistry both with a propensity for wearing blue.

It's officially my birthday. I can only hope that 27 wil be much much better than 26.

UPDATE!

MOM IS FINE. REPEAT, MOM IS FINE.

So here's what happened. )
bardic_lady: (ratatouille - those days)
UM. THERE'S A HOSTAGE SITUATION AT THE WHITTIER PUBLIC LIBRARY. WHERE MY MOM IS WORKING. She is not a hostage, and yet... THERE'S A HOSTAGE SITUATION AT THE LIBRARY. WHAT?!?!

Also, I got an interview call for the CTG job. I would describe myself at this moment as... emotionally conflicted.

I Cannot Hide What I Am

I must be sad when I have cause and smile
at no man's jests, eat when I have stomach and wait
for no man's leisure, sleep when I am drowsy and
tend on no man's business, laugh when I am merry and
claw no man in his humour...
I had rather be a canker in a hedge than a rose in
his grace, and it better fits my blood to be
disdained of all than to fashion a carriage to rob
love from any: in this, though I cannot be said to
be a flattering honest man, it must not be denied
but I am a plain-dealing villain. I am trusted with
a muzzle and enfranchised with a clog; therefore I
have decreed not to sing in my cage. If I had my
mouth, I would bite; if I had my liberty, I would do
my liking: in the meantime let me be that I am and
seek not to alter me.
