Myself and also pimping because Purimgifts! It is time.

I can't believe I haven't updated in the whole month since I've been here. Believe me, it's not for lack of wanting to, although of course I could have found the time if I'd tried harder; but I am working such unnecessarily long hours, and then I try to utilize whatever free time I have left to have fun and take photos and get a feel of New York City, or I'm too tired and lazy and just want to read some fic before I go to sleep, and so I'm left with a lot of Things Done and over 1000 photos (and counting) and 30 days of no posts.

Today I arrived at the office at 8:30AM, after taking a cab because I don't even know how to deal with the kind of weirdly slushy snow that was raining down, and left the office at 11:30PM once again with a cab because it was totally worth $20 getting home before midnight. There is a 24 hour diner on my block - I can say things like that now, temporary though it may be - and I stopped there for dinner because I was tired and hungry, and lost my appetite halfway through because I was too tired and how did I think I could eat tuna salad and eggs so late in the day.

And then I plowed through all of the necessary set ups for Purimgifts because enough is enough, it has to go live in order for people to actually have time to like, write the fic, do the things, so I really hope there are no egregious typos/broken links/totally incomprehensible directions, although I'd have to blame last year's me for that since I mostly copy/pasted.

In any case without any more ado than necessary GUESS WHAT'S BACK:


A multifandom ficlet/art exchange focusing on female or Jewish characters,
and also some evil viziers.
Sign ups end on the night of Feb 10th.

<---that thing. \o/

I am going to try so hard to be more here. Watch me. (Don't judge though. Don't worry, I've got that covered.)

Ahh, slushy snow, the bane of NY winters. What you have to worry about is the giant slush puddles that accumulate at crosswalks and slipping. Rainboots and walking slowly is pretty much it, and carrying an extra pair of socks to change into when you inevitably get your shoes soaked.

:D Let me know when you have some free time to hang out! Do you still have my phone #? I got a new phone, so I don't have yours anymore. PM me?

Sounds like a crazy month. If things ever calm down and you want to hang out, let me know.

And yay Purimgifts!

Ha, because I am not really a hockey fan, I don't really care whether the hockey games I go to are interesting or not. I'm there to drink a beer, take in the atmosphere, and watch people fly around on the ice.

If you do go to a game at some point, I highly recommend StubHub for buying tickets. (http://www.stubhub.com/new-jersey-devils-tickets/) The tickets are guaranteed or you get your money back, and your mileage may vary, but I've been able to get excellent tickets for substantially less than face value.
