The View From Now: An Announcement
http://theviewfromnow.blogspot.com/2010/09/announcement.html
Sep 4, 2010. Here is the deal. For a long time, I have been cross-posting entries between here and LiveJournal. LiveJournal has been making a bunch of changes lately that I think breach its users' privacy and trust. So LiveJournal will no longer be my main journal. My home-base journal will now be at Dreamwidth: http:/ laceblade.dreamwidth.org. Unfortunately, Dreamwidth cannot yet cross-post to the Blogger platform. If Dreamwidth does one day allow cross-posting to Blogger, I will look into it. Most of t...

The View From Now: A Review and Some Commentary
http://theviewfromnow.blogspot.com/2010/05/review-and-some-commentary.html
May 23, 2010. A Review and Some Commentary. When I first saw advertisements for this series, I was afraid that it would be a little moe, but was glad to find that this was not the case. Has a nice review in the second half of this post. Complete with a couple of pictures. With the closing of DC Comics' CMX line (which mostly translated/distributed shoujo comics in the U.S.), there have been many intense blog posts. To think that I would drop $8-14 on a single volume (usually readable in one 2-hour sittin...

The View From Now: My Purpose for Writing and Your Purpose for Reading
http://theviewfromnow.blogspot.com/2004/11/my-purpose-for-writing-and-your.html
Nov 17, 2004. My Purpose for Writing and Your Purpose for Reading. This post is the result of conversations I have had with two people. Firstly, what is my purpose in having a blog? I had a blog before any of you whores did. When I first made a blog, it was because I was a member of the messageboard called WOFS (Watch Out For Snakes! I read Kell's blog. And I thought it was really cool. So I decided, "hey, blogs are cool, I want one! The deeper question is, after three years, why am I still blogging?

The View From Now: Rage
http://theviewfromnow.blogspot.com/2010/06/rage.html
Jun 4, 2010. Elsewhere on the Internet, in a post that is unfortunately locked, various things have been purported. I am sick to death of motherfuckers telling me that entire aspects of my identity do not exist because of the labels they ascribe to me. Because I am Catholic, there is no way that I could hate my bishop, want women to be priests, or be adamantly supportive of the separation of church and state. Because I am a 24-year-old woman, I must want to get married as soon as possible. In the end, I ...
