Well, that was a close contest
Feb. 2nd, 2016 09:00 ambut after carefully weighing the options, the results are in, and the Groundhog says it'll be an early spring!
What, you thought I meant Iowa?
Seriously, though, the Democratic results were fairly surprising, really, as were the Republican ones. I will say that, although I am obviously not a fan of any of the Republican candidates, if Cruz really did have people at the polling places telling everyone Carson had dropped out of the race and endorsed Cruz? Whoa. Low. That should be illegal.

Happy Martin Luther King Jr. Day
Jan. 19th, 2015 07:06 pmHe was undoubtedly one of the greatest speakers of the twentieth century, a remarkable human being, and someone who, had he survived to the present day (which should have been entirely possible--the man was only 39 when he died), would undoubtedly be a benefit to humanity and the problems we face today.
Happy birthday, Dr. King. I just wish you were here to celebrate it with us.

Yuletide Reveals
Dec. 31st, 2014 09:21 pmYup, the names have been revealed for the authors over on Yuletide. I've gone through and added the (hopefully correctly spelled on my part) authors of all the wonderful fics I've been reccing, and a special thank you again to Laura 47, Aeriel, and Rabidsamfan for my presents. I truly loved them all!
I did write a bit more this Yuletide than I have in a while. My actual assignment was for National Treasure (National Treasure: British Edition), and I did treats in West Side Story (Something), Fiddler on the Roof (New Tune, Same Fiddle, The Greatest American Hero (Magic Jammies, Take Two, and Othello (Desdemona's Choice, so a total of five works. I'll post those in separate entries in a bit as well.
Fun Yuletide, and I still have lots more fics to read! Happy New Year to all!

On the twelfth day of Christmas,
bookishwench sent to me...

Twelve sunflowers drumming
Eleven tapestries piping
Ten antiques a-leaping
Nine trees dancing
Eight museums a-milking
Seven strawberries overthinking
Six showtunes a-laughing
Five empi-i-i-ire biscuits
Four charles dickens
Three semi-illiterate dolphins
Two fairy tales
...and a fanfiction in a habitat for humanity.
Tis the season
Dec. 24th, 2013 10:17 pmTo all who celebrate, a very merry Christmas, and if you don't, I hope you have a lovely day too.
"The Peace Carol"
The garment of life, be it tattered and torn,
the cloak of the soldier is withered and worn.
But what child is this that was poverty-born, the peace of Christmas Day.
The branch that bears the bright holly, the dove that rests in yonder tree.
The light that shines for all to see, the peace of Christmas Day.
The hope that has slumbered for 2000 years,
the promise that silenced 1000 fears.
A faith that can hobble an ocean of tears, the peace of Christmas Day.
The branch that bears the bright holly, the dove that rests in yonder tree.
The light that shines for all to see, the peace of Christmas Day.
Add all the grief that people may bear, total the strife, the troubles and care.
Put them in columns and leave them right there, the peace of Christmas Day.
The branch that bears the bright holly, the dove that rests in yonder tree.
The light that shines for all to see, the peace of Christmas Day.
The branch that bears the bright holly, the dove that rests in yonder tree.
The light that shines for all to see, the peace of Christmas Day.
