A case of be careful what memes you participate in, I guess...

So in that last 'ask me to post something about something I don't normally write about' meme, 80sfiend asked me to write about my romantic life. Not something I generally feel comfortably writing about indeed. The meme did say to push me outside of my comfort zone, so I suppose I have to.

Warning. Behind the cut lies the type of self-reflexive self-pitying whining I try not to engage in anymore. My only defense to posting it now is that it _was_ asked for. Still, I recommend not reading it. There's nothing in here worth reading. Nothing here I really would _want_ people to read, all told.

The fact is, there's really not much to speak of. ( Read more... )

And back to fantasy...

So, I watched Stargate: Ark of Truth. Thoughts behind cut, some spoilers.

That wraps up most of what I watch for the next little while, until BSG starts and Doctor Who shortly after that. Lost's still ongoing for a couple more weeks. It's been better than last year, since they've decided on a course to actually finish up the series. Up and down. The Desmond ep was the best so far this year I think.

Watching Serenity on Space now.

Book Foo:
Finished: Excession, by Iain M. Banks
Started: Use of Weapons, by Iain M. Banks

Thoughts on Excession (and a quote from it) behind the cut, non-spoilery. Generally liked it.

Finished: Reflex, by Steven Gould (sequel to Jumper) (reread)
Still reading: Otherland, Vol 2: River of Blue Fire by Tad Williams

Brief thoughts on Reflex behind the cut. Not really spoilery.

Haven't been writing very much, have been trying to do some editing, but have been in a real funk lately and haven't felt much like doing _anything_. Oddly enough I've had some decent ideas for writing, just when it comes right down to it I have trouble forcing myself to. Still hoping my depression tapers off before the end of March like it often does. Oh well, keep trying, the only way to go.
