- Sorry, no catching up here after all.

- M.A. eating life.

- Hot chocolate made with honey instead of sugar: excellent improvement.

- Urgently need more Kate Bush and PJ Harvey albums.

beccadg reports that she saw me in a featurette about the Leeds con that is apparently included on the HL anime DVD. (The anime's supposed to be quite good, btw, from all I've read - I'm not going to say that it's better than any of the movies the franchise has produced in years, because that practically goes without saying. Maybe I should ask my anime-savy friend about it; he may even have it, for all I know.)

It feels decidedly weird to know that my (moving) image is 'immortalised' on a HL DVD, though, seeing as how I'm such a decidedly lukewarm HL 'fan'.

Well. At least it's not on the DVD of 'HL : The SauceSource'.

I've been mostly absent here in the last few days because uni is a bit frantic at the moment. It's just occurred to me, too, that maybe I should explain my extended absence from LJ this past summer/beginning of autumn (or have I already done that?). I've actually been offline a fair bit of time, something like nine weeks total. And I was already behind on LJ before that; in fact, I hadn't really finished my *last* attempt to catch up, which was sometime around April/May, I think. So, yeah.

I have the meta from hell brewing in my brain. It's already cost me several nights' sleep, and for once, I'm treating it like an essay instead ofsimple, off-the-cuff rambling. I've got pages of notes already, and will take more, and then take some time to organise them into something coherent. If this goes well, it will be my final word on angst and sexeroticism and writing. Well, okay, probably not. But at least it will unify everything I've said on the subject in a variety of places, and everything I've been thinking about it. (Be afraid!)

I just noticed that my two most recent entries were apparently written in the future. The date says they're from late November. I've changed the date back to October now, but of course that means that the entries will have flown completely under everybody's radar, being first from the future, and now from the past. Since one of them is a - possibly interesting to some - meta thingie and the other concerns my catching up 'method', you may want to go directly to my journal main page and check them out there. Or not, as you wish. *g*
