Uncreated Conscience

I would just like to make the announcement that I have been hired at St. Martin’s Press as an editorial assistant! I can’t divulge the details quite yet, but once the dust settles, I will be part of a new enterprise with regards to finding books for post-adolescents and young “adults” (like myself). This position [...]

Just a bit of silliness from yesterday’s photoshoot. I recently discovered the continuous shooting mode on my camera (and my recently, I mean on the subway ride to the location) and snuck a few photos of Bex talking about Battlestar Galactica to edit into this short stopmotion film. Fall is the best and most glorious [...]

I’ve actually been fairly good about working these past few days (just got the soundtrack for Battlestar Galactica—what?), but a while back, in a fit of huge procrastination, White-Harp and I indulged in a little silliness. I loves my White-Harp, I do.

I’ve been struggling for a few days now to write this post as Battlestar Galactica is so epic, it’s a bit difficult to review. If I’d watched the show like any normal person, I could probably give you a coherent blow-by-blow, but as it is, I’m trying to encapsulate my thoughts on four seasons worth [...]

I apologise for having been missing in action. There is a very good reason for that. The reason is called Battlestar Galactica (the re-imagined series), which I will review at a later date when I am emotionally ready to consider it. (Guh.) In the meantime, I have turned into a picspam whore. Exhibit 1: my [...]

I could have something interesting to say on post-adolescent fiction. Or White-Harp and I could mug for the camera instead on this grey, rainy, and fucking freezing cold New York day. I like how without makeup and with long hair I look like I’m 12 years old. I suppose the baby harp seal doesn’t help [...]

Autumn is in full swing in New York City, which means that JJ is approaching hibernation mode. My inherent tendency when the weather grows cool and the days grow shorter is to curl up under the covers with a White-Harp and read, read, read (and occasionally gorge on Indian food). I have about a million [...]

I spent the better part of last week in Washington DC with Mum, enjoying our time together, as well as taking in the sights. I haven’t been in our nation’s capital since high school. I enjoyed some unbelievably gorgeous weather while White-Harp and I acted as unabashed tourists. We had to stop by the Smithsonian [...]

Diana Peterfreund wrote an awesome blog post today about Bad Boys vs. Nice Guys (part I of more to come) in fiction. In addition to being an interesting examination of the appeal of the Bad Boy, it’s also a defense of the Nice Guy. Peterfreund brings up some really great points, including how the Nice [...]

Last night I burned my thumb on our oven. With my oven mitts on. I knew there was a reason I didn’t cook. Now there’s a tiny blister on the edge of my thumb that’s making it impossible to type. Today is Bear and my 4-year anniversary. Who knew that missing an Arctic Monkeys concert [...]
