Blair Hall Apts., on the Feast of St. Francis de Sales

I'm back in New York and recuperating from the brain trauma that is finals period. Although I'm kind of looking forward to second semester; I want nothing more than to put the ignominous past behind me and actually have a humanities course as a break. (Triple science course schedule = a new level of academic masochism.)

1. The Blizzard of '05, as the news so dramatically calls it, started while I was on the bus going home, but the trip was only an hour delayed. I got home safely, and we haven't stirred since, except to go to church yesterday. Instead we've spent the past two days lounging on the couch and watching 대장금 (Daejanggeum), which remains as intriguing as ever. The review I'm typing up on my laptop is now several pages long and full of spoilers. Heh. We plan to finish the drama in the next two days, which means four videos a day. That equals eight hours of straight drama-watching. Marathoning is fun, but my head does ache from staring at the TV screen for so long. >_>
2. I updated [livejournal.com profile] dragondormant today with a huge load of Yuletide recs. I'm so proud of myself for accomplishing one item on my to-do list. ^_^
3. I've been having dreams every night on the problems from the chemistry final, and I haven't even looked at the answers! (I didn't want to because I thought it would be depressing. Apparently my subconscious perfectly capable of depressing me all on its own.)
4. There are six new chapters of Ravages of Time on Fifay! Oh, happiness!
5. February is pairing month at [livejournal.com profile] fst. There are 98 comments in the sign-up thread. My hard drive is doomed. I think I'll have to start burning off FSTs after all. >_< What wouldn't I give for an iPod right now? (Edit: Never mind, it's 101 comments and counting. Although not all comments are actual sign-ups. Also, I signed myself up for a Hot-Blooded Woman FST--Haji and Shinwoo--and I'm going to fill it with tons of Korean "pop rock". Or is that "rock pop"? I still want to make a Wa! FST too, although it will probably be full of cheerful sugar. Hm...)
6. The deadline for [livejournal.com profile] fanthology recs is coming up (well, I think...it's January 31st, right?). I've been mostly perusing old fics, and I think I have my recs list up to three (maybe a tentative four?). I think one of my recs doesn't fit the word limit though, and I think I've been looking more at Gothic fics rather than strict ghost stories. Anyway, if anyone has good ghost story fanfiction recs, let me know? ^_^

Yours &c.

A Hot-Blooded Woman FST? That's great! I'm really looking forward to that! ^_^

Heh, hope I live up to expectations! Yay, another Hot-Blooded Woman fan! I'm thinking this FST is another excuse to introduce people to the manhwa. ^_^

대장금 (Daejanggeum)? Is that the period drama about a girl who becomes a physician? I only got the shortshort summary from a friend of a friend, and am wondering whether to watch it.

Yup, that's the one. It's a long drama (50+ episodes) but it has an unusually clever plot and (for the most part) excellent actors. I definitely recommend it. I'm still about 10 episodes away from the end, but one of my friends finished it and said that the story doesn't falter at all, which is pretty impressive for a drama.

Hi, this is Gerald...you know me from my fic journal Seraphitus, I think. I'm wondering if you know what happened to Tin ([livejournal.com profile] pornkings? Both her journals are deleted, which strikes me as rather odd, since they were both working about 5 hours ago. ^^;;

O_O I have no idea, I'm afraid. Although I checked just now, and the journal seems to have been undeleted. Maybe it was a problem with LJ?

She seems to have put them back up. It was just odd. But thank you =P

You know what is really funny about that name? When first read it, I thought it said "Drag Gondor Man." I was very confused. I expect that from Elizabeth, not you. Then I re-read it and thought it said "Dragon Doormat." Even more confused.

That name needs an underscore, man!

Wait, why Dragon Dormant?

O.o

It means "sleeping dragon" in French. My incessant use of Three Kingdoms puns. ^_^

No, really, I thought you were refering to...I dunno, cheese or something. Dragon Cheese! MUAHAHAHHAHAHAAA.

No, seriously, only barbarians eat cheese.

The french spell dragon, "dragon?" ::shrug::

O.o

Yep, they do. Le dragon = the dragon. I looked it up. XP
