What I Did On My Holidays

</lj-cut>

What I did on my holidays I read and I wrote and I slept a lot and it was fun.

I read the M15M book, of course, and I finished Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife (To His Bed), and I started I, Robot. We read part of that in  SciFi class last year, but I want to read the whole thing. I'm about a third of the way through. I wrote my first drabble and finished "Never an Absolution" and typed "Cutthroat Badminton." Oh, and I wrote a post on Society's Pants.

Okay, I'm watching the Oscars Red Carpet. Tell me if this makes sense: They've put Ryan Seacrest up in the isolated overlooking room (not that I like Seacrest, but...), and they're letting The Guy Who Groped Scarlett Johansen have contact with the celebrities once again.

My next entry will be my review of Mr. Darcy Takes a Wife (All Night Long, Until the Break of Dawn). I wanted to wait till I had my Pride and Prejudice book so I could cite a few specific things.

I'm going to take this opportunity (my slightly delayed weekly scheduled update) to acquaint those of you who are new to my lj with a few things. First of all, I have a story blog. This is a blog for my forays into fiction. You will find it linked at the top of this journal where it says "Notebook Mythology (my story blog)." But if you're too lazy for that, it is here. My latest entry is my very first drabble. For those of you unfamiliar with a drabble, that is a story 100 words long. My note of explanation of the story is longer than the actual story.

(I just went to the TV Guide Channel to see which channel the Oscars will be on, and was just in time to see Joan Rivers not know somebody's name. BWAH! For those of you who don't know my feelings on Joan Rivers, they are not positive.)

Society's Pants is a group story blog written in a round-robin style by my friends Marten, Jonah, Nathan, and Evie (eve_wings). This story has been going on for quite some time. We each write from the perspective of a different character. Nathan has Ian, Evie has Gillian, Jonah has Greg, Marten has Virgil, and I have Ellen Leigh.

I slapped together an SP icon. In my head, Lauren Graham pretty much plays Ellen Leigh. I might make a prettier SP icon later. If any of my co-writers want to send me pictures, I will make some for you.



(OOOOH, Keira so pretty! She is 21 now. I can take comfort in that. But still just seven months older than me. SO. GORGEOUS. TONIGHT.)[ETA: I was wrong. She's not even 21 yet. Dammit.]

This is basically just an entry to brag about how prolific I've been and pimp my blogz.

(Eric Bana also pretty. But married. Sigh.)

beatricepeabody, your challenge is next on my list.

Natalie Portman was fun on SNL last night. Go to theforce.net and watch clips.

Happy Oscaring, everyone!
