18 hours ago ago from Off to Africa

Well its Sunday. Today I did some laundry and worked on this for the most part. Its love. Well hey there. So it’s been going well, some ups and downs for sure, but at the end of each day I am pretty much always satisfied and happy. From the last post you can tell that my schedule will consist of much less poop scooping, which I am pretty dang excited about, as it involves a bit more intellectual work and tact. The time I spent at the ...

Heechul Interview with NYLON Magazine (December Issue)

5 hours ago ago from KPOP Saege

You’ve received a lot of interviews? Yes, (so much that) it’s tiring. But (I) like to receive interviews. I like it as long as it’s individual interviews. [smiles] I did well if I did the interview alone, when there’re more people I’m unwilling to do it well. Why? Is it because you won’t have the attention? It’s not because of that but because I’m too sensitive. During group interviews I don’t like to speak. Because Teukie (and the ...

Is that an impertinent question, Mr. Ochoa?” The linguistics professor was not tenured and generally rather insecure. His button-down Ivy look and carefully disheveled hair did little to dispel his feeling that he didn’t really belong and his students knew it. “No sir,” Ben said respectfully. He’d gotten a glimpse of the prof’s need to be coddled. “It’s just something I ran across outside of class and it sparked my interest in the subject.” ...

14 hours ago ago from This can't be me. Must be my double

I really liked the idea, and after thinking about it I chose to focus on Dr Kureha. Unfortunately the fic took a long time to write, probably because it's full of small, rather choppy scenes.

January 2010: A. A. Gill on Scotland | vanityfair.com

6 hours ago ago from Vanity Fair

Deer stalking is all about the great fallacy of waterproof. L och Maree, Scotland m sitting in the sodden heather and spongy moss with a small brown frog that apparently resents me. We re in a corrie, a dip scooped out of the granite hills. We re hunched against the buffet of the winds, listening to the stags roar for sex and violence. Their fury and lust echo around the bleak, ancient peaks. They sound like a competitive collection ...
