Somewhere East of Life

Sorry I haven't updated here in awhile. I've got a Dreamwidth account now - h e r e and I'm mirroring most of my LJ posts there. They've got a great import content feature there.

I've got a new personal website, or rather moved my old one, and have started matching up all my online accounts in look and style. It's been fun. You can find it h e r e.

I've been getting into Facebook and Twitter as of late. It's a bit of an addiction. I try not to mirror anything in my journals with content on my Facebook and Twitter. So it's a bit different. If you're curious, you can find my Twitter h e r e.

If you only read anything on this journal, here's a summary of my latest post over at LJ:

• Idiots in Hollywood, News at 11 - In which I rant about Joss-less Buffy world they're trying for in a new remake.

I would quote more of them, but I've been locking recent posts under a filter due to the personal nature of the entries.

That's about it for now.

Just thought I'd breeze on in and wish the folks over here a joyous new year. Personally, I'm glad to be rid of 2008. I'm looking forward to what 2009 has in store for me.

Yes, I did set resolutions. I've decided I need to get a new me. LOL - no lofty aspirations for this Saifai at all. *gr*

More details on that when I get around to actually writing it all down.

In the mean time, you may all ooh and aah over my new header. I even uploaded some new user icons. Part of my resolutions for this year is keeping in better contact with people. Going with that, I'm going to try and post here more. Yay me!

"I will seek elegance rather than luxury, refinement rather than fashion. I will seek to be worthy more than respectable, wealthy and not rich. I will study hard, think quietly, talk gently, and act frankly. I will listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with an open heart. I will bear all things cheerfully, do all things bravely await occasions and hurry never. In a word I will let the spiritual, unbidden and unconscious grow up through the common." (William Ellery Channing)

It occurred to me that there's folks here that aren't over on LJ, and so wouldn't have seen this notice, or the ones that ARE on LJ wouldn't be reading it here anyway.

Either way, my apologies if you have seen this before.

This happens every year. Lazuli crooks her finger and I come running. Yes, it's time for the Annual Spander Christmas thingy (The 2008 Spander Illuminations).

I write my Buffy story this year, with Spike and Xander of course, to the tune of... well, Xander. For forever it seems I've had this idea stuck in my head that some things never go as planned when it comes to Xander. When do they ever? But this time it was something serious. Remember that episode Go Fish from way back in Season 2?

This is my take on how things really went.

Read it. TxRabbit beta'd for me. I'm quite certain I couldn't have gotten as much out of it without her. *gloms*

Hi! *waves*

I make the majority of my posts over at LJ for now, still. But many people I know are moving over here, so I'm taking up a name for that purpose. Also so I can reserve my name. *growls protectively over username*

Unless I'm able to setup a feed or something, you won't see much here. If there's something important going on though, I'll provide links (and or content depending on if it's locked or not).

Um... that's all for now.
