August 21, 2003 - New fic! Up in The 'Files
is a splendidly not-angst angsty piece entitled "Flesh and Steel". Perhaps
my recent infatuation with angsty fics can be traced to my rediscovery of
current rock (as opposed to classic rock, which is still a great love of mine.
But you know, the Steve Miller Band, for example, isn't putting out
much new material these days, and one can only hear "Jet Airliner" so many
times before it loses its charm).
I have a very nifty drawing of a minor character from She-Ra, and a new musing-type
ramble that I shall endeavor to get up sometime before we all die, but I
make no promises.
That's pretty much it. My online time - and my writing time, and my
drawing time - will be reduced to nil for the next few weeks as I scramble
to return to the hallowed higher-education halls of the mighty University
of Florida. Me and 49,000 other students. I fear the parking
situation already...
July 15, 2003 - Not a real update. Just a note to anyone who didn't
watch the Hot Wheels cartoon on the 12th (on Cartoon Network, of course):
you missed a fabulous and obscure Max Steel reference. A house
seen briefly at the beginning of the episode was - recolored and rendered
differently - the beach house from Max's third season, which Mainframe
Entertainment also animated. The helmets worn by the skateboarders
also look suspiciously similar to helmets from Max. Ah, I laughed
until I cried. This is a sign of my pathetic life, people. But
it was unexpected and amusing.
Oh, and I should have an actual update in a few days. Just FYI.
June 28, 2003 - No, I'm not dead. I've been stuck in scientific
nomenclature purgatory, memorizing plant names for a Botany class. Why
I had to take a Botany class for an Education major remains a mystery,
but ah well. I saw The Hulk on opening day and I liked it,
thank you very much; I now eagerly await the release of Spider-Man 2
and The Punisher. The muse is back and I have several fics
in progress, hurrah! Some updates, including:
A picture
of X-Men: Evolution's Jean with a phoenix (hee hee); and a new
Separated At Birth...?
If the spirit moves me I shall type up the names of all the ~200 plants
I learned to identify by sight. Yes, that's correct. By SIGHT.
My "How I Spent My Summer Vacation" essay will be indescribably interesting
this year, I'm sure.
May 19, 2003 - Okay, I suck. Anyway! I've survived yet
another semester of university work with my sanity (largely) intact. I've
seen X2 several times, and though I'm not going to totally spoil it for
anyone who hasn't seen it, if there aren't any manifestations of giant firebirds
in X3, I'll have to demand my money back. I'm also minus four highly
unnecessary teeth and plus one amusing summary sentence: They call them
"wisdom teeth" because smart people leave them in.
Updates include three new stories in
The 'Files
! Yay! Also some new pictures in the
Gallery
. Life is good.
February 25, 2003 - Well, would you just look at this. Two
updates in the same month! And it's the really short month,
too. My. I just might keel over in shock. Anyway, I've
got a new Separated at Birth...?
, and a new fic
, and several overdue homework assignments that I ought to have been
working on when I was working on this stuff. But y'all aren't interested
in my unfinished eight-page Direct Instruction lesson plan. Are you?
Didn't think so.
February 18, 2003 - Happy New Year! A few months late, but
whatever. Happy Valentine's Day! A few days late, but...
yeah. School is being evil (who knew it was this hard to become
a teacher?), but I'm still doing stuff. I hope everybody enjoyed
the cancellation of Dinotopia: The Series and the rebirth of
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - I know I did - and is now all geared
up for the Daredevil movie. Once the celebration of that has died
down, it'll be time to get excited for... X-Men 2! And then...
Hulk! It's a good time to be a fangirl.
On to updates: Two fics
- "Living In The Past" and "And The World Smiles With You" - and
a new Info page
. The beginning of my very own Movie
Review
page is up, too. I know, I know, I suck at updating. Photos
from my most excellent trip to Islands of Adventure will be up as soon
as I finish this blasted roll of film.
December 5, 2002 - Hey, remember that Dinotopia show I was
talking about, and how it didn't completely suck? I changed my mind.
(In other words, go read the new Thought o'
the Moment
.)
December 3, 2002 - Well, it's December,
which means I'm about to get older again, and this year, it's the big
2-1. Phooey. I don't wanna grow up! I wanna
be a kid and play with toys and watch cartoons forever! Anyway,
to usher in my legal adulthood, I'll be flouting UF tradition (namely:
hitting all the local bars and clubs until you're too drunk to stand)
and heading off to
Islands of Adventure
in sunny Orlando. I promise to bring back some pictures.
And probably some overpriced souvenirs, too.
In the meantime, I've got a new fic up in
The 'Files . Which brings me to...
, which brings me to my final point...
Reminder: The new Dinotopia show has begun airing
- Thursdays at 8 PM on ABC. My tentative judgement is "it doesn't
completely suck." After I've seen a few more episodes, then I'll
let you know.
November 21, 2002 - It's just a little thing, but I think
you'll agree that it's... wrong. In so many ways. And remember:
I can't make stuff like this up, boys and girls. Nor would
I, but that's a different issue.
When
Pop Culture Goes Wrong
November 11, 2002 - Uh, yeah, um... Geez. Nominate me
for worst webmistress of the year or something. Anyway, I'm
here, I intend to update now, I can update now, and I've got
some o' that update goodness all ready to go! Let's see... here
we have a new page, The Teela Manifesto
, which I wrote after my fifth or sixth viewing of the new
Masters of the Universe cartoon movie, plus oodles of fic in
The 'Files
, and a big ol' shiny-new layout for the
Gallery
, which, as you have no doubt seen, did not make the big move
with me. Yeah. Because GeoCities has more space than UF
for pictures. Now, what I'm going to do in three years when I'm
not GOING to UF anymore... well, we'll all cross that bridge when we come
to it.
Well, what are you waiting for? Go explore!
