no witty title
Nov. 25th, 2013 09:51 pmIt's been so busy. Here are the interesting highlights:
*Choir had concert. It went good. Tour is this weekend. I really want to talk about the Poulenc and the Gounod and the Duruflé motets but time. I had three rehearsals in a row, Saturday-Sunday-Monday.
*I DON'T HAVE TIME
*Archery is having its Christmas shoot, which I think I may have to miss :( I have graduated from 10 meters (yay) to the indoor range's longest, which is 18m. Still working on form.
*I'm tired today and I felt grumpy all day and snapped at a team member. I feel bad, because ugh, not deserved (though really, you're older than me and you're still confused about [redacted]?)
*Seriously, why do people do laundry on Monday evenings? I avoid Sundays, but...it's negative something outdoors (you have to go in and out of the building to get to the basement), it's a Monday, but this is the second time I've gone downstairs and found it occupied.
For the first time ever I think I'm not going to make this Nanowrimo :( I have almost 12K, I've got a boatload of things I need to do which take precedence (by a huge margin), and my general strategy--"write like the wind on the 30th"--is not viable this year because I'm going to be on tour and well, I'm going to spend my time singing, socializing and running around the city being a tourist. I've never lost before. I really don't want to, but the prospect of trying to put in 38K in the remaining four or five days, on top of everything else, is unfeasible.
So in short, I'm kind of midway between "too tired to really hope" and "D:"
ETA: I forgot. I found a tattoo on tumblr which is what I envisioned the marques would look like, if they were off to the side (I really hate the huge blooming ones on the covers, sorry). It's a picture of a bare back, so sort of NSFW? http://guindas-dulces.tumblr.com/post/40842690638 It looks like apple blossoms to me.

We had this discussion already.
Aug. 19th, 2010 07:57 pmI saw this post come up this morning. I thought: "OK, it's not horribly bad; it looks like the OP, after some comments, could see why this is offensive and maybe it'll be okay!" This is the text of the OP's post, in case it gets taken down.
( ... )
I gave up trying to read the twisting comments of the OP after awhile. But seeing![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
saciel start to pull out the tone argument--again and again and AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN--I...I...I don't know. I remember zie from the last time ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fanficrants went and got into a huge racefail, but seeing so many people--half-a-dozen, at least--try to explain, again and again, PATIENTLY AND CALMLY (Oh my God, the irony) why zie was wrong, it didn't sink in. And so all I can repeat is OW OW OW.
ETA: There's actually quite a nice little summation bylil_utterance about why this post's comments are so very faily. Here.

Oh, it's Christmas...
Dec. 11th, 2009 07:43 pmThis is what students should call the worst part of the year, because you have long since moved out of the "honeymoon" stage of homework load, any teachers that have not covered all the material are rushing to do so because January is mostly exams, and the students stagger under it all. The Christmas break is no better, either. I can't wait until exam break. I need sleep.
On a happy note, though, I discovered that when you shrink your font three points, you can save almost twenty pages of printing. This is knowledge hard-won from trying to print Nano manuscripts; they ought to include a "printing guideline" on the wepage, I swear.
