    wallows
    Today is all about Big Decisions. Should I hang the washing out? Answer: yes, because it is sunny right now. But it was raining this morning, so it's entirely possible I will have to rush out and bring it all in at any moment.

    Should I go back to bed? This is trickier. I stayed up way too late last night and I feel like fucking zombie this morning. But if I go back to bed, the dogs will want to go back to bed too. And two of them are pretty wet, and no one wants wet dogs on the bed. The other alternative is to curl up in my tv viewing chair but a) it might be a bit cold in the living room and b) my hip is already very sore and sleeping in that chair will make it way, way worse.

    Also I am soooo tired I'm not sure I'd be able to sleep. I am very much like a toddler in that once I get overly-tired I just cannot sleep. Gross.

    Aaaand my connection just dropped out. My dial-up connection is so tenuous that it almost always drops out when I get a phone call. That was my mother. Wonderful. Now I feel EVEN BETTER.

    God I'm boring. Yes, it's THAT KIND OF DAY. Maybe I'll go off and cry or something. Commence wallowing in self-pity: NOW! :rolls eyes: What could be more attractive?

    Okay, so yesterday was 10/9/8. Did anyone else notice that?

    And if you are a Nathan Fillion fan, or like me, enjoy laughing at ridiculous porn plots, go watch this now. PG Porn!
    here

    Not much else to say. Still sick, gradually tightening up fic o'doom so I can post it over on petulant poetess, and did I mention the still sick? Yeah, that's my life right now. That and knitting (when I have enough energy to move, but not enough to make it out of bed to use the computer).

    And last but not least, I must share yarn pron...
    This stuff is gorgeous and is going to the top of my XMas list. So pretty.

    My interest in this series is absent-minded at best. It's there though--but this is about its extent.

    Because [info]nishi_shinji wanted to see it, here's a picture of the yukata I made. I might add that I didn't have a pattern, but had to take measurements and figure out how and what to do and in what order from examining the yukata I already have. I might have made some mistakes, but I'm still pretty damn proud. Especially that I managed to get the front edge/collar thingie symmetrical with the pattern. :-)

    Next one will probably be easier... even though I still have no pattern! LOL

    ...pancakes!
    So, it's been a while. Oops. Well, let's see...

    Work: work is going pretty well. I just got my first paycheck last week, and my training is pretty much done, though there's a few things I still need to figure out. My shouting into the half-broken PA system to make the "museum is now closed" announcements, for example, needs work. But I'm starting to get the swing of things and be comfortable out walking around on the floor and interacting with patrons, so that's good. Also, all those hours of standing and walking around means I've lost two pounds. Whooo! :D (Unemployment foiled my attempts at exercise and conspired to make me gain a few pounds I didn't need, sorry to say.) So, things are going well on that front. I'm really starting to enjoy the job...crazy people and a few petulant small children not withstanding.

    (Though I do apparently have some sort of Look of Death™ going on. A sixth grader had taken some stuff out of our schoolhouse exhibit and was running around with it, and I swear, all I did was raise my eyebrow at him--he stopped dead in his tracks, turned around, and put the stuff back where it belonged. Yay, I have mad glaring skillz?)

    One downside, though: our current temporary/special exhibit is retro toys. (For varying definitions of "retro." I had 95% of the toys on display when I was a kid, and dammit, I'm not that old.) This includes slinkies. It also includes a slinky jingle that plays whenever kids press a button, and also on rotation with a few other old 50s/60s toy commercials on a TV set-up in one corner of the exhibit. ...I have had that damn jingle stuck in my head for two days. This is the jingle. I'm so glad it's on YouTube, because now I can share the pain earworm. Seriously though: most annoyingly catchy song ever, and I found myself humming it in the shower this morning. *facepalm* I'm doomed.

    Fanfic: I'm finding time to write during downtimes at work, miraculously. There's a lot of times when there's nobody out on the floor and everything's cleaned up already, so there's nothing for me to do but stare at a wall. Or at least attempt to look busy and productive by scribbling away in my notebook.

    Other stuff: I went down to my university's homecoming last weekend; pretty much all of my friends (who I hadn't seen since graduation in early May) had made arrangements to meet there and have sort of a "reunion" weekend...plus it was a good opportunity to see some friends who haven't yet graduated. Seeing everybody--and the campus itself--was wonderful. In a way it was like we never left at all. It was a long drive to get down there, but...it was worth it. :) I really needed a break, and to catch up with all of my friends.

    Also been playing Uru: Complete Chronicles lately--had to start over the beginning, because I hadn't played for so long I forgot what I was doing in my last save...except that it involved hunting for the invisible markers of DOOM™, which I think gave me some sort of post-traumatic marker disorder. So far, though, the replay is going pretty well--interface/control issues aside*, I'm actually getting into the game and starting to enjoy it a bit more. Maybe it's because you have to listen to Yeesha's explanations more than once to actually figure out WTF she's trying to tell you. ...Though her first imager speech still makes me giggle inappropriately. And a lot of things still could've done with MOAR explanation.

    And finally, after much pointless stalling, I updated my master Morrowind mod list to add some mods to it that I added to my savegame a while back. (...It's a sickness. Really, it is.) Including Constance, who is, honestly, one of the best companions ever. She's like my character's more mischievous twin, with an added predilection for stealing anything that's a) shiny and b) not nailed down. I love her. Definitely one of my new favorite mods.

    GIP
    Total and utter GIP. Look at Olivia! She is FIERCE! She is my tv girlfriend x 100! A hundred hundred!

    It's probably time to go to bed when you aren't able to type 'hundred' without typo-ing it exactly the same way all three times. Oh dear. Seriously, Stupidest Day Ever.

    I think the only productive thing I did all day was weed one of the vegie beds. Which was kind of an achievement because it was totally out of control. It's the only bed with anything in it and everything in it is chook'n'duck greens. Which is good, because those are a constant requirement but they are nothing I like. All those weirdy bitter greens I can't stand. So I weeded! And then put some lettuce seedlings in, because I like those.

    And, after all the weeding, I discovered that some of the poppies in that bed I thought were long dead were actually flowering under all the crap. Pretty!

    However: I should stop pulling nettles out with my bare hands, because OW. Though, interestingly, the more you touch nettles, the less they hurt you.

    Wow, I'm so tired I feel like I'm drunk. Zzzzz, time for sleep.

    Oh gods... 'Tis the season of the leaf blower!

    Why not wait until all the fucking leaves have fallen off the trees?!?! This way you'll have to do it again and again... and *sob* again! It's one of the most aggravating sounds I know, because it just never stops.

    it's the compass inside it's the strength of your will
    I'm in a weird mood today. The Hugely Unpleasant and Stressful Saga that has been going on for a few months now is actually finally over. Huh. It was supposed to be finished at the end of October but things were resolved very, very abruptly yesterday. Which is good because now I can attempt to move on, but is bad because I cannot believe how totally and unnecessarily horrible and nasty and spiteful the other person involved was. Oh well. Live and learn, I guess. I was *extremely* upset yesterday but today I'm just... meh. I don't know.

    Man, I love Fringe. I have no idea why I've fallen quite so hard for it, but I totally have. Weird fact: the only characters whose names I can remember are Olivia 'Awesome' Dunham and Walter. In my head, the others are Pacey, Alvarez, Lieutenant 'Sex' Daniels, Brad, and Boring Massive Dynamic Woman. And I remember Astrid's name, but poor Astrid could barely even be called a character, she has so little to do.

    And I can't make myself watch SPN. Have you ever had the experience where you find the fans of a particular character so annoying you end up hating the character? Or is that just me? That's the main reason I dislike Dean so much: I can't stand the way the vast majority of his fanbase go on about him. Without them, I'd probably be a lot more 'eh'.

    Point is: I haven't watched *any* of the new season yet and I already have a pretty intense hate-on for Castiel. SIGH. What is wrong with me? I don't know.

    My Master fic list is now completely up-to-date, and it only took half an hour. Yay!

    In other news, I won an award, which I keep forgetting to tell anyone about. I got "Best Father-Son Bonding of the Malfoy Kind" for my [info]hp_tarot fic.

    I have also managed to successfully make cables and in fact I am now making a pair of cabled socks!

    Now, I have a question. I lack organizational skills, and my master list is getting a bit unwieldy. So, do I split it into parts? Like Gen, Drabbles, Crack, and Smut? Or do I just start a new one next time I update? Feel free to offer any suggestions. I will be trying to make my tags make sense as I go along (probably by deleting most of the RL ones and just leaving fandom ones) but that'll take a while.

    I'm also starting to post to archive sites (starting with the Petulant Poetess). Part 1 of Cauldron of Doom, slightly rewritten, is now up there, and I'll be tackling the rest of the fic soonish.

    meh
    Ugh, I had to deal with a dead kangaroo this morning. It had been skittled *right* outside my fence where I walk the dogs. Which meant, unless I wanted to have to remove the dogs from the path of logging trucks every morning, it had to be moved. LOVELY. So I dragged it across the road and threw it over the fence. Which was no small thing because a) even a smallish dead kangaroo like that is damn heavy and b) all its guts were hanging out so they not only TOUCHED ME at one point, they got caught on the fence when I threw it over. Yeah. I'm sure you can imagine how delightful that was. Even I, who am relatively blase about dead things, had to choke back a gag at that. Intestines! HANGING ON THE BARBED WIRE FENCE!

    I need to catch up on my shows today. I have 2 eps of SPN, one of NCIS (Agent Afloat! Woo!) and last night's Fringe. Awesome!

    It's the most wonderful time of the year
    This is mostly for my own reference, but there's an interactive portion as well, which is why I'm posting it publicly. Early? Not really. I define Christmas shopping season as when I get the first gift. Since I've already taken care of mom, the season is underway.

    Shopping List, Now-12/31/2008
    -Noona's birthday
    -Uncle Larry's birthday- find something disgusting, classless, and in the vein of toilet humor.
    -CHRISTMAS!!!!!
    --the girls- but consult parents on joint gift
    --the boy
    --mom
    --dad
    --Noona- collaboration with the folks
    --Uncle Larry
    --Tom and Ed- but will need cookie containers
    --something eco-friendly for Em

    Oh, Fry and Laurie! I had forgotten the awesomeness of it all.

    Stephen: The reason we're not going to do this sketch is that it contains a great deal of sex and violence.
    Hugh: A great deal.
    Stephen: Lots of sex and violence.
    Hugh: That's right. During the sketch, Stephen hits me several times with a golf club.
    Stephen: Which of course wouldn't matter except that I do it very sexily.
    Hugh: That's the trouble, you see. He does it so sexily. I wish you could see it.
    Stephen: And then the sketch ends with us going to bed together...
    Hugh: ...violently.
    Stephen: Very, very violently. Now this raises problems.
    Hugh: Not for me.

    I signed up for rarepair shorts over on LJ, and this is the first drabble, proving once again that my brain goes straight to darkfic when I'm stressed or depressed.

    Characters: Obi-Wan/Padmé, others
    Word Count: 5,371
    Rating: PG
    Summary: She sank into him, grateful for his presence, grateful for the comfort, but most of all grateful for him, for the one tiny moment in which he seemed to be himself again.
    Author's Notes: At least it's a month between updates this time, and not three. ;) I'm having a lot of fun with these chapters, because they're a lot less based in canon and I can take the characters in really interesting directions (while still keeping them in-character, obviously). There are a few rough patches in this one and I'm not totally satisfied with it, but ... okay, I'll stop. I feel like I say that every time I post something, heh. Can't believe I've written almost thirty chapters of this monster, yikes!!

    Rating: PG
    Summary: It was a far cry from how he had once spent his time, but he reminded himself that this was probably what he’d be doing anyway regardless of whether the Republic had fallen or not.
    Author's Notes: I'll try not to let three months pass between updates again, heh. *facepalm* To be fair, Darth Real Life had me in his clutches several times, which is partly why I didn't work on this fic much in the months of July and August. The other reason is that my beta and I have had to do a lot of detailed outlining on the next few chapters, because there isn't really a "framework" for this time period as far as canon goes and in To Ignite the Stars, what happens after Revenge of the Sith will shape several other events and changes in the Original Trilogy. So, we've been busy. ;) This particular chapter is more introspection on the part of Padmé and Obi-Wan as they struggle to adjust to new routines and expectations. Lots of fun to write, because this is a side of them we haven't really gotten to see. :)

    Word Count: 4,832
    Rating: PG
    Summary: “I don’t know how … I don’t know how to do what you want me to do. I’m sorry.”
    Author's Notes: Continuing to churn these out at a record clip, for which you can thank my muse. I don't know what's gotten into her lately but she has been almost scarily cooperative. Long may this last! I have to admit that I love the way this chapter flows, and it's been very interesting to explore some of the issues contained herein. These next few chapters will be introspective, with not a whole lot of action, but to tell the truth I'm kind of grateful for that after ROTS.

    I am very glad to still have my parents alive. They were driving halfway across the country last night, and this morning my mum called me to tell me they'd been so close to crashing the car when a fucking huge moose ran out on the road in front of their car at fucking 1.30 am!!! That's not dusk, Mr moose! You're not supposed to run around like that when it's been dark for that many hours already!

    As it was, mum (who was driving at the time) managed to avoid the moose and instead got into the fence thingie at the side of the road instead, doing damage to her beloved car. But rather that than the moose because those fuckers are rock-hard when getting them on the hood or through the windscreen. They're all okay though, including the moose, and could even continue to drive as long as they did it carefully said the mechanics. I'm so happy things went well! But now I'm nervous about their drive home at the end of the week!

    In an effort to beat the beast that is the writer's block, I have moved the computer from the office to the living room. I haven't been writing more yet, but interestingly enough, I've been a lot less hungry! O.o Of course, I also moved my naked-man-calendar as well. Can't sit at the computer without having a nice hard cock to look at. *g* So I'm now nestled in the corner where Bast is watching over my activities with approval, I hope. *g*

    True Blood! SUCH A SHORT AFFAIR.
    Okay, I love Sookie. And I love Anna Paquin, and Anna Paquin as Sookie. But this is really getting on my nerves.

    This show is determined to fuck over what made the books so interesting. They're screwing with her character--what the hell was with making her so giddy and 'ooh, getting carded' in the bar? Sookie was as tough and practical as she was sweet.

    And I don't like that they're making Bill a reactionary, over-possessive ass--unless, was that Andy Bellefleur? did he know? that might make sense--and I don't like that they're making vampires out to be above the law, and I don't like that they're making Jason a bigger character, and I don't like that Sookie and Bill are on very clear levels, as opposed to the book where she was trying to save his ass and clearly had his respect, and they completely cut out her shrewd comment in the bar, which I loved.

    And I don't like the way they changed her decision against dating Bill. In the book it was a rational consideration, not a sudden spurt of prejudice once she'd seen who he really was. I don't like the way it robs her of that sweet, tough and sensible core, where she's compassionate but knows how to look after herself, and instead makes her seem immature. And what the hell is with making her suddenly afraid of things she doesn't know about?

    And I don't like that instead of Sookie gently telling him that she'd like him to indicate interest before they took a step forward and that unless it was a two-way street she wouldn't impose herself upon him again, Bill was the one announcing (angstily wtf is up with this extra angst VAMPIRES DON'T HAVE TO HAVE ANGST DAMNIT at least Blood Ties got that) that he wouldn't call on her again.

    And I hate that a) they made every single human person in the goddamn show prejudiced against vampires except for the ones that lick their boots and b) you can't just dislike vampires, you have to be nasty and irrational and rude about it. It irritates me.

    And I despise Sam's flagrant character rape and shredding. I never realized how much I liked his character until I watched this series, where the only resemblance was the name.


    I still love her Gran, though. And I still love Sookie. And I like Bill okay, even character-raped Bill. Dilemma!

    I want book!Arlene back--at least the woman from the first book--the sassy and confident mother of two, unattached to a man, who had reservations about vampires but was willing to put them aside over Sookie's relationship because she loved her so much.

    SCREW YOU, HBO. SCREW YOU.

    [info]umadoshi was right: it is trying way too hard to be gritty and adult and managing only stupid.


    B-but Sookie! Though it hasn't yet produced anything that flat out made me start watching, I can definitely tell you this is going to be a show where I skip through many bits.

    Oh, Detroit.
    Oh, Shock. Don't ever stop being really fucking obvious. Seriously. It's one of your more redeeming qualities.

    It's like, wow. This Shock team might be gayer than the '99 Liberty. That's the '99 Liberty that had Sue Wicks and Michele VanGorp, along with Spoon, Whitmore, Crystal, VJ, and Hammon, along with a butched-out Sophia Witherspoon, along with Kym Hampton and Rebecca Lobo (who might just be the two of the queerest straight women in the league's history). But there was no importing girlfriends into the locker room, or declaring joint custody of dogs.

    I may not like the Shock's style, but goddamn are they ever the flagship team of WNBA RPFS.

    True Blood
    I have no excuse to be madly in love with True Blood, and I have an awful lot of reason not to be.

    For starters: what the heck is up with making Tara a) in love with Jason Stackhouse and b) no longer a confident, independant businesswoman who ran her own successful dress shop? The hell? Coupled with the removal of Portia, who was a high-powered lawyer, I'm seeing a distressing trend in female portrayals and I DON'T LIKE IT.

    Also, they made Andy a tub of lard.

    Also also, I don't give a shit if you wanted to put Tara in the most-prominent-friend cast--there was no fucking need to vilify Arlene while you were at it.

    And why the hell is everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, except Sooke prejudiced against vampires? I liked Sam a lot in the original books and they're shredding his character now and it's pissing me off. The original book's portrayal of the population rang very true, and didn't need to go overboard on the fanghate. This just feels really stupid and unnecessary. Frankly, I like a good supporting cast so this is the part most likely to make me ditch the series. We'll see as it goes on.

    But Anna Paquin is awesome, so awesome, and Bill is pretty neat, and Eric is quite spiffy and as long as I skip over all the bits with Jason in it I'm fine. I'm actually having a lot of fun. I love Sookie--they kept her quite consistent with the books, and her character was why I loved the books.

    And I love Anna Paquin. SO MUCH.


    I am scary-easy to please. Who cares! Keep bringing it!

    Hey, lookie loo, an original fic!
    Title: For Certain.
    Rating: PG.
    Characters: Captain Rutter, Meg.
    Description: Just a brief scene where Rutter speaks to Meg in his cabin and wonders if she has used any of her skills to help him.
    Note From Me: This is kind of experimenting. Rutter is a character I've had in my head for years (although he has had lots of different names, none certain, and Rutter is just the newest name) and Meg is a character influenced by my friend. Rutter has been paired for years with another lady - she also switches names a lot, but most commonly is Katrina. She won't appear in these stories, though. I'm planning on writing a longer story with these characters, so am just writing little bits to get to know them.

    Blowing my own horn
    Though the festivities will be on the 11th (my godmother and I are sharing a party), I've already had a pretty good birthday. Sears gift card, Amazon gift card, a new wallet, a new cart (no, that's not a typo; I asked my parents for a new shopping cart because my old one refused to fold, and this new one is blue! and has a trunk!)… material things are wonderful. And even when I bought myself things, I pulled a Shanna Crossley auto. No, you no can haz. If I'm going to go for a league collection, I need to get her somehow.

    And then the Giants bitchslapped the shit out of the Seahawks and Pretty Pretty Czarina and her team finished a most epic choke job. Yes, I know, Darling and Lawson-Wade were both hurt. Yes, I know Detroit was a bad matchup for them. Yes, I know this means I was rooting for Detroit. Yes, I know this makes me a bad Liberty fan for VJ's sake, and I feel bad for VJ, for Sophia Young, and for Dan Hughes.

    But, on the other hand, Taj! Ring!

    All in all, a pretty good day. Now, if you'll excuse me, mama's going shopping. I'm also showing off new userpics. Oh, how I <3 Ashley Battle.

    Plagiarism news, tv shows, and the chiropractor appointment that wasn't
    Update on the plagiarism: the little weasel's stories have been removed from FF, also from another archive she'd posted other stolen goods on! It's not yet a total clean-out since she has some freeweb site thingie with one or two(?) stories, but for the most part, we have success!

    I am very relieved that my Lucius/Draco story was removed, because of the whole "indecently young Draco having sex with his father" thing. I really, really don't think that should be spread far and wide... *sigh* I love that story and what I tried to show with it, but not everyone can take a step back and see it, just because of the fact that yes, it *is* disturbing, and it is supposed to be too. If anyone should be flamed for it, it should be the writer, not someone who stole it, yes?

    Anyway, full report from [info]stop_plagiarism is here!

    I'm not sure I can keep watching True Blood. It's... People get on my nerves and are annoying as fuck in it! Like Sookie's randy little bugger of a brother. Can he get killed already, please?

    On the other hand, I just watched the first episode of Fringe, and holy hell! I want to watch more of that!!! That is so my type of show! :-) Yay for torrents! I have three more episodes downloading now. That's a heroine that I enjoy to watch. Sookie, are you listening?

    Forgot to mention that I poured very hot coffee over my hand about 30 minutes before my appt with acupuncturist last Wednesday. Ouch. Apparently, I didn't scream loud enough for the other people in the car (yes we were having coffee and sandwiches in the car) to actually notice I hurt myself?! We had nothing cold to soothe it with, and I also couldn't tell Sven-sensei (my acupuncturist) about it since he thinks I should stop drinking coffee completely.

    Weirdly enough, I only got a slightly reddened mark on a knuckle... that's all. It stung a bit for a day. It's like all the times I've pressed a thumb or other part of my hand to the grill-part of the oven... I might get a blister, if I didn't press hard enough to go through that top layer of the skin, in which case the skin just goes white and hard. O.o And stings like hell for a few days to a week, before it's gone. I also generally just go ouch on these occasions.

    However, if I nick myself with a knife, I scream loudly and basically go into shock and panic and omg! And bleed a lot. It's disproportionate, you know. But yay for knowing how to turn on the flow of endorphines. That does help a lot, I think. Maybe it's because that's easier for me with burns, they don't get so bad and heal faster?

    I thought I was going to my chiropractor tomorrow. I was supposed to go to my chiropractor tomorrow. I have an appointment with my chiropractor tomorrow. Am I going to my chiropractor tomorrow? No, I'm not.

    I'm not, because my still-befuddled stepfather set up three appts for tomorrow. The problem? We're four people who need to see him. Three appointments, four people. Not so good. The step-dad had not set one up for Elle. So, I'll give her mine. My neck is shot but it's mostly due to my muscles having turned into concrete. And the vertebrae between my shoulder blades are remarkably flexible and non-aching for a change. I might survive until next time. It wouldn't be fair to Elle to tell her the afternoon before she thinks she's going to get help with her back that nope, sorry we forgot about you.

    I just wish I didn't have pounding headaches every day. :-(

    But that is probably because of the reason why my landlord is paying to have me moved to another flat: the waterpipe problem. I highly suspect mould has developed. And I am so allergic to that stuff! Really, why is it so few people understand how dangerous that shit is? Watch House, people!!! (Especially the hotel owners in the UK, please? Will I ever stay in a hotel that doesn't have a huge mould problem?) They always check for mould when they suspect environmental causes. And that is not something the writers just make them do because it's fun.

    Still having writer's block. I'm getting worried about the Allen/Kanda story now. *le sigh* I know it's the stress/allergy/apathy/depression that's causing it though. Problem is that it has to be done, latest, the day I move. So, I'll have to just push through this somehow.

    let me go easy
    Boy, that's quite the headache I've got. One of those being-stabbed-in-the-eye ones, fun. Anyway. Taken some aspirin so it'll be gone soon, I hope.

    New Supernatural tomorrow, YAY! Was the season opener a double episode? Because it's listed as going for two hours. Could be just they're showing two eps, which is even better. New Ruby! She's what I'm most excited about, honestly. Those Winchester guys? Eh, whatever. *g* It just better not freaking rain, is all. The aerial has decided to AGAIN get temperamental whenever it rains. Which was why I missed the season opener of NCIS last week, GRRRRR.

    And ten axed 90210, sadface. I wasn't really watching it, but it was kind of fun, meh. It seemed to have some pretty good femslash potential, too. Naomi/Silver, I thought.

    Daylight savings started today STAB STAB HATE. I was doing so well with my getting up earlier program! I was up somewhere between 5.30 and 6.30 every morning. And now, BAH, I have to start all over again.
