Amazon bought Shelfari so I migrated all of my books to Library Thing. You can find me at saturn_reads.

I'm a bit torn over the decision because I prefer Shelfari and, right now, it's still free. For competitive reasons, though, I have a really hard timing supporting Amazon ventures so Library Thing it is. (I've also been waffling over how to use Library Thing/Shelfari for a while now. Part of me wants to try to load everything I remember reading [ever] but that's an absurd project. For now, it's books read in 2007 and on with the exception of series I started prior to 2007 e.g. HP and The Dark is Rising sequence.)

Anyway, hi! I'm back from my long weekend in NY. It was perfect and I'm very sad I'm not there right now. My sister is a fabulous host and an even better mother. We had so much time to just talk and be together.

Here. Have a photo of my nephew. )

And here, have a funny little rap about the Large Hadron Collider:



Also a Dr. Who fic rec:

In Another Life by [livejournal.com profile] sam_storyteller - Doctor 2.0/Rose, PG-13 Summary: An all-too-human Doctor begins to build a life with Rose Tyler, but old ghosts — both real and imagined — still haunt him. And there’s only so much human life you can live without a name...

And a West Wing fic rec:

That Way Lies Madness by [livejournal.com profile] ygrawn - Donna/Sam, Donna/Josh, PG-13 Summary: "For years, I thought we were friends because that was the closest we could each get to Josh. But that isn’t true. We’re friends because that’s the closest we can get to each other." This story is set post-series and is AU from about midway through season three. It's told from Donna's POV, a wonderful, mature, flawed Donna, and the character voices are fantastic. Ygrawn is a bit hard on Josh but I dare you to read this and not fall in love with the woman Donna's become and with Sam, oh, with Sam.

Now back to the ST:TNG marathon on sci-fi.
The ST:TNG episode, "Attached," is on Sci-fi right now and, wow, does it bring back memories.

I was (am) such a Picard/Crusher shipper. I loved them together through the series and I still remember seeing the preview for this season 7 episode back in 1994 - my senior year of high school - with Beverly's, "Why didn't you ever tell me you were in love with me?" The anticipation nearly killed me for the week leading up to the episode and I don't think I breathed through most of it. I was sure this episode was my moment. THE TEASE. I'm still in denial over that final scene. They do still feel that way! They do!
