I had an epiphany recently. Not one that’s likely to lead to a sudden burst of writing because I am So Fucking Far Behind On Everything that the idea of resurrecting a project that has like an absolute total of 10,000 words written on it is just not happening, but. So I’ve been re-reading the Continuing Time books by Daniel Keys Moran, which are easily some of my favorite books ever. Desert island stuff, that. But I ran out of the ones I had on my ereader so I switched…
Picoreview: Deadpool & Wolverine – did EXACTLY what it said on the tin, which was EVERYTHING I WANTED I generally try to keep my picoreviews spoiler-free, but I’m mentioning that specifically on this post because it’s still a relatively new movie and if you want to veer away entirely, you should, but I won’t be spoiling anything.

Hopefully by half five or so, but who knows. I believe I have dinner plans of one kind of another sorted out for Thursday already, so I’m gonna assume this will not be a super great day for just hanging out. FRIDAY: 9am: minor ambitions…

The ceremony was in Dublin, and we went down a day early to have a celebratory dinner and not risk missing the ceremony by counting on the trains on the day of. :) It was actually VERY EMOTIONAL and we both cried all over everything, by which I mean, I sniffled gently while he wiped away a few manly tears, of course. The ceremony itself was really quite…
