Work Overload
Posts Wave Alert
I’ve been so infernally busy throughout December (again) that I didn’t even have time to copy over my posts from “the other place” in the final weeks of the year. I’ll be remedying that as from now, so you may be seeing notifications for a whole bunch of posts in a comparatively short space of […]

No, I didn’t fall off the planet 3 months ago …
… though I know I’ve given every appearance of having done just that. Let’s just say that it’s been … interesting.

House Cleaning

RL has been both busy and more than just mildly annoying lately, as a result of which I’m behind on everything from updates to reviews to just plain responding to people (sorry!); not to mention that I also still haven’t had time to select and acquire stickers for my super-pretty physical […]

Bleepedybleepedybleepedybleep
… or for the non-American TV-challenged: Fuckedyfuckedy … (you get the picture). So it didn’t just turn out one more week, but 2 1/2 f*ucking solid weeks of me and a select few equally fortunate people being chained to conference room chairs and computers, with straight 15-18 hour work days practically the whole time […]
