I have had guests non-stop for the past month, for the past week it's been very close girlfriends staying with me. Early this morning we had this exchange:
Her: what are you doing up so early?
me: research for a story I'm writing.
Her: (looking over my shoulder) Wow, that guy's built like a house.
me: (very quietly) Yeah.
Her: (eyes going glassy) A nice house!

Korean artist Yong Ho Ji makes amazing sculptures out of used tires.
This was on display at the Fairmont Bab al Bahr right here in Abu Dhabi...the coolest thing is that it is 'life size' for a Minotaur...about 8 feet tall.
Michele is in awe of the cuteness.
Chapters will come more frequently now that I am back home from the road. This chapter was also particularly horrible. I think it's all there in the title. Warning: this is not the pleasant part of the hero's journey.
The Broken Saga
so much truth
Tumblr has this ongoing obsession/love affair with this breed, but as a professional dog trainer and general animal lover, seeing the number of people who enthusiastically declare their desire to own one makes me cringe. I’m not comfortable enabling or reinforcing any of the...

Typography isn’t my forte, but hopefully there shouldn’t be too many atrocious choices made there. Do drop a note if that isn’t the case OTL In retrospect, most of these would probably not make very good covers because they’re on the understated side, but then again, I wouldn’t want curious visitors going through my bookshelves to get too curious either.
Links to the fics: 10th Century Boys series by khaleesian - Powered historical AU with VIKINGS. You can’t go wrong with that.
Father Charles series by Yahtzee - Sensitively-written, non-preachy, non-bashing fic on religion? Yes, that is possible. Also one of the very few kidfics I enjoy reading in this fandom, which is quite a feat tbh.
fool me once, fool me twice by musical emjay - Two broken people in a quietly destructive relationship. Will rip your heart to shreds.
A Deeper Season by etirabys - Will also rip your heart to shreds, but will attempt to patch it up afterwards.
Oh jeez, why now???? I am so emotionally unprepared for this.
Michelle Rodriguez and Gina Carano fight in the Fast & Furious 6 extended trailer (x)
Started posting the sequel to my Thor/Loki story The Song Unsung
While that was Thor & Loki's Excellent Adventure, this one is more like the Bogus Journey. Read it if you dare: The Broken Saga
