The best way to get yourself to use Dreamwidth more: let your LJ paid account lapse. Except that it makes me slightly twitchy to have different icons in the two places, but I'll probably get over that. Maybe.

This week marks my 7-year anniversary on Livejournal. Man, that's a long time. You know what tends to freak me out, in terms of marking time on LJ? People's kids. Because kids grow up alarmingly fast offline, but online, it's like one day you've got anecdotes about kindergarten, and the next, fwoom, you've got stories about high school. People who were pregnant when I started this journal now have small humans running around who read books and go to school and probably have their own iPhones already. It's scary.

Speaking of the passage of time, there's a new Wheel of Time book out today. I decided I'd go back and finish the series once it was done at some point in the mid-to-late-'90s; I'm not sure if I'm still planning on following through on that or not.

I downloaded the White Collar pilot; I just need to find time to watch it. I'm a little behind on Flash Forward, but still intending to catch up. And I'm still watching and liking SGU, although I could do with less introspection and more explosions at this point. (Greer gets more awesome every week, yes?)

Tor has an interview up with Sydney Padua of 2D Goggles/The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage. Which was nominated as a Yuletide fandom. And which someone is going to write, right? Because that would make me UNBEARABLY HAPPY.

Time for food! *goes to get a sandwich*

I can't believe that book is finally out. O_O

I've been following this series since I was... twelve?!

I know, right? I was really into it when I was in junior high. :/ I don't even know what I'd think of the earlier books if I went back and read them today.

*has no idea either*

I will have you know that you've made me severely tempted to offer to write for The Thrilling Adventures of Lovelace and Babbage--not only I wasn't planing to, the sole idea makes me vaguely terrified, but man, that's an awesome comic, and the research alone would make it worth it. -_-

Dooo eeeeet. They're such interesting characters, and the comic gives you a lot to play around with. Brunel! Queen Victoria! Coleridge! Salamander people! And the artist puts up all sorts of links to her primary sources!

anything on Gary's board yet, and probably won't ecxept maybe in the Sekret Klubhouse. We are happy about finally solemnizing our relationship. The year is starting well in that way.
