Unless you are following me. I won a copy of Diane Duane’s New Millennium “So You Want to be a Wizard” about two weeks ago and still haven’t heard anything about it… I sent two asks to her with both my personal and business email as requested and nothing…

It’s just depressing… I was so ready for something good to happen. Should have known better.

Oh, it’s not just me? That makes me feel better. I only tried one ask but I also reblogged that post with the winners, and I’ve been feeling dumb over not having tried a couple more asks. (Also I don’t think following can have anything to do with it?)

But hey, not alone! :D Maybe it’s just taking a while? Anyone else get anything?

i knew this would happen but does it stop my heart from breaking

spoilers: no

Yeah, this sort of thing? Is why I never liked these two the first time around. It took me a really long time to cotton on to the whole grey-morality thing (to the extent that I ever HAVE managed it), and at the age I was watching it? Ha ha ha, there was never a chance. Their whole plan also seemed an incredibly stupid way to go about things at the time, though I don’t remember how much of that was objectively true and how much was “It’s Sailor Moon! LOVE AND FRIENDSHIP WINS IN SAILOR MOON YOU NUMBNUTS ARE YOU NEW?? oh wait STILL”

So yeah, I’ve got to admit, I outright HATED these two when I was a kid, heehee. I still found my first lesbian OTP this season, hilariously, but it was elsewhere. XD Probably my first proper OTP at all, really. I guess it was just that gay??

(i still totally ship it and i am rather excited to see what happens when you get to it :3)

This message will tell you how to win an ebook copy* of the New Millennium Edition of So You Want to Be a Wizard... and also let you see the new cover.

…Gradually.

Here’s how this will work.

You see the jigsaw puzzle above? Four times a day or so, a new version of the image with a piece…

i would feel less weird about this if i had been re/blogging ANYTHING else recently >_>

I don’t usually do these, but…

(first thought other than “how does this tie into the characterization in my ridiculous AU epic”)

(which says waaaay more about my priorities)

(but nothing new)

Wow, the lanterns are fireflies! Is this already an established fact? Is this something I missed? Cause, doesn’t that make Serenity’s existence possibly a huge deal? Why haven’t I see any posts about this yet?

Does it say something about my priorities that this was also one of my first thoughts?

awesomearchives:

This is a fantastic opportunity for anyone looking to undertake a career in archives. Working five days a week (with occasional weekend cover), you will have the opportunity (be expected) to catalogue our entire backlog of uncatalogued material, respond to most of our reader enquiries, work with senior managers across the board to implement a new social inclusion strategy, and develop an extensive outreach programme working with local and national media. In this role you will also be required to act as official archive manager for three and a half days each week.

 

The successful applicant will have a degree in History (preferably specialising in the landed gentry in post-war Britain), experience of cataloguing a range of material to a high degree of accuracy following international standards using Calm 2000, world class curatorial skills, experience of supervising volunteers and senior staff, and an obsessive interest in the work of the Lord Botherington Memorial Library.

It’s a spoof, but one that hits close to home. As someone on the cusp of graduation, I can’t say this does much for my mood.

Replace this with other subject-specialty terms (bibliographic instruction… MARC… what have you…) and yes, yes they are all exactly like this.

Does anyone know what I have done with my life

I just read this article.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/07/02/hbo-s-the-newsroom-aaron-sorkin-s-women-problem.html

In it, one of my favorite columnist Jace lacob discusses the Newsroom’s “women problem” with Huff Post’s Maureen Ryan. I’m so frustrated with this piece….

We’ll be getting this series shortly, and I am so glad. Can’t WAIT.

You know, I’m still thoroughly dubious about the writing of the women of this show, but that isn’t even my core problem with it— it’s more a case of Sirius Cybernetics-style “superficial design flaws hiding the fundamental design flaws”, in my personal highly subjective view.

Said fundamental design flaw (for me ever enjoying the show) is, do you watch a lot of Disney high-school comedies? I mean the truly lousy cliche ones, too, not any that are kind of cool.

I don’t, because they’re not to my taste, and never were— god, especially when I was actually in school. They pissed the hell out of me, after I got over being scared that some freakish hormonal switch would flip in me when I turned 13 and then, for years, I would be doomed to actually be like that. Stuff of nightmares, I’m telling you.

I bring this up because, so far, it’s a Disney high-school comedy set in a SRS BSNSS newsroom.

No, really. Whenever they aren’t talking about political issues, and sometimes even then, they are cliche teenagers in a cliche high school, engaging in the most cliche of stupid-teenage-romantic-comedy antics. They also do this while explaining that the internet is terrible and that the most recent, that my, generation is in fact the worst known to history.

I wish that were hyperbolic. It genuinely isn’t.

I love the first 2-4 seasons of The West Wing. I regularly quote/adapt Sorkin lines. So far, I am not positively impressed.

But I wish you better luck.
