Anyone else annoyed by UFC? Apparently, it was in Toronto last night. This is what turns me off UFC *eye roll* “@feyMorgaina Prepare like #GSP #UFC http://bit.ly/UFCTrain?=mtmz” (Some gimmicky ad about how you can train with less effort than you are now – I studied marketing in university so trust me, it’s gimmicky.)

Healthy Escapism ;)
Strangely, I hadn’t been in a big writing mood lately. Just been dealing with life and so on. I noticed though that my last blog post didn’t get posted to Tumblr, Twitter, or Plurk, so here’s a blog to test that out. I’ve been reading fiction again. Just too much else going on for me…
