Not-Safe-For-Work Icons

I like to listen to music while coding, it helps me to get the energy and to stay awake when relevant (like right now). And suddenly I'm overwhelmed with the feeling of a huge conceptual mismatch between the user administration software and Rammstein songs :) Am I doing not what I'm supposed to do, or listening to what I'm not supposed to listen? On the other hand... one word - BOFH ;)

Aparrently it's spamming day here at the office of Helen (well, it's always spamming day, it's just that some times I don't get to post them LOL).

This is a last call for X-mas cards and stuff! I'll be writing them this weekend and sending them out on Monday.
Poll and post this way (For insanejournal go here)

*pokes arami hard* Sweetie? Send me your address again? Last year the card came back to me :(

I seem to bouncing around this morning! Don't ask me why?! (Also? Abusing the exlamation points). It could be that am not wearing all black, but a jean skirt and black *g* Yeah, I know. I haz a new pair of boots that am dying to put on (will do that after this post), even though am at work :)

( Cut for those that don't want to hear my party election ramblings )

Dreamed of a nice romantic (non-explicit) scene, and upon the transition to another scene it was revealed to be an ad for a TV show, the episode where my character dies the most gruesome death! This woke me up and now I'm curious how it would've happened :) (being the character, not the actress, I have personal interest :) They had mentioned something about mafia and betrayal but nothing specific.

Actually, I had a bad feeling right away upon realizing that I had forgotten my Rammstein ring. Heh, guess I've got too dependent on this item (I've read these things can happen ;) Whenever I have to go out without it (like the beach - for the fear of damaging it), I feel insecure and vulnerable. But I'm never forgetting it in strange places...

The sleep challenge tally so far:
Day 1: 6:50am (woken up by the cat)
Day 2: 6:58am (unknown reason)
Day 3: 6:00am approx (bad dream)

Moar origfic! Because...it's here, though part of it's not very exciting. ;P Goes some time after Devil's Bargain. Proooobably makes no sense unless you've read that first, too.

Betel HATED coming out of stasis. Hated it with the burning passion he reserved for people who underestimated him or backplanet knuckledraggers who talked over Till because she was a woman or Inner World aristocrats who thought that because Stine was strong and quiet that he was DUMB.

So, in the previous cookie entry there were:

• Sugarcrafter's Chocolate Crinkles


• Snickerdoodles


• Alton Brown's Toasty Coconut Macaroons

In this entry, there are several more:

• Alton Brown's Sugar Cookies - totally yum even w/o icing


• Easy Peanut Butter Blossom Cookies - I used Hershey's Hugs in mine *g*


• Jell-O Pastel Cookies - except I didn't include the Jell-O and I put them through a cookie press and topped 'em with sugar sprinkles =)


• Cut-out Cookies - a recipe from a friend of my mom that makes a zillion cookies! (recipe below)

( Cut-out cookie recipe )


I also made another batch of Snickerdoodles so my family types would stop snarfing my cookie gifts!

This weekend, niece and nephew will get to cover the kitchen in icing and sprinkles for great decorating art! Hmmm - I think we need more food coloring. *makes a note*


At some point between now and Christmas, my friend's coming over to make Hermit Cake. If anyone wants that recipe, let me know. =) ETA: Hermit Cake recipe - just looking, it looks to be the same as the one my grandmother and mom have been making for years.

ETA: I got my 'Inner Child Secret Santa' goody box yesterday! (I mailed mine today! I promise! It should be there in 2 days or so!) My goody box had: A My Little Pony, 2 Matchbox cars, a PEZ dispenser and a holiday card! Very cool! Thank you, Secret Santa! =)


Also - my hockey countdown! XD

LOL!

Well, we're (obviously) back, but we're busy as one-armed paper hangers. Running snapelyholidays is fun, but hectic and there is the upcoming holiday prep and all. I'm just glad my lungs have improved enough to allow me to do more things, although the weather change has made my joints freeze up, and sometimes that's literally. Silly things.

Anyway, no time for more now, maybe more later. Hope everyone is warm, happy and as healthy as can be.

Oh, and an fyi for those who have us on their holiday card list - please use our po box addy! Our home delivery is spotty at best and goes missing gets stolen at worst. *sigh*

Drop a comment here, with your name and address if you'd like a Christmas card from me. Even if you think I have your address, drop it again so I have addresses all in one place! Thanks.

All comments will be screened.

...kill the monikers. Please? Gee whiz.

Is anyone on my flist considering a pureblood boy at BW who is in need of a girlfriend/future wife? I really want to pick up a 5th year Ravenclaw girl.


(anyone who is interested please comment, I'd rather talk to multiple people to make sure I find the right fit -- assuming ANYONE is interested anyway!)

Author's Notes: Let's see if I can do it this year. My goal is a series of drabbles. And I've already failed on the 100 word thing. Thanks to eeyore9990 for crawling out of sick bay to give this a once over and alisanne for the brill advice. *smishes*

The Weather Outside is Frightful

Which is just to say, it was a day. Taught as usual, then had a lunch meeting, then caught up on the gradebook etc. (though did not do actual grading). Realized to my enormous chagrin that I had the final exam period wrong for one class; it's actually next Wednesday, and I have it in the syllabus as next Friday. Luckily I'm not actually giving a final exam, but rather they have a big paper due. I decided it was a bit last-minute to change the due date, so they'll just have to bring their papers to my office on Friday since presumably another class will be having their exam in the room at that time.

Came home and have done some beta-ing *g*, also transcribed dictation. Wrote a bit of next HotM installment, finally, and also a few hundred words for Yuletide although I'll probably trash most of them. Now waiting for SO to come home so we can have dinner. My stomach is making all sorts of noises! Tomorrow, Imust grade, also run some errands and work on LIS project.

Forgot yesterday to thank the_dala for this lovely, lovely gift fic: "World Enough, and Time." It's a PG Kirk/McCoy, and simply wonderful, so those of you who like that pairing, go read!

Today's ficlet is ST:

• The Stockings Were Hung [Kirk/McCoy, general]: Jim gets Bones to reminisce. Here at IJ.

You know, every once in a while, I completely astonish myself.

It's good for me, admittedly, but most definitely surreal.

*chuckles and shakes head, still stunned by it all*

bilo: I remember the first time I went to the states was the visit my friend in Florida, and at one of the airports they had a Fox store.
bilo: Like, Fox news.
bilo: And I wanted to cry.
sherlock: lmfao fox news
bilo: I feel like the experience was equivalent to if Sirius went to a new country and they had a Snape store.

Okay so Stacey has a muse. A MASSIVE MUSE. One of those WRITE ME NOW BEFORE I KILL YOU MUSES.

So I was thinking about all the fun teams not represented in MU and how they'd be fun. Heros for Hire, New Warriors, ect ect. INhumans? But then I had a brainwave. HELLIONS.

No one died in Emma's school. Her students didn't die in this movie continuity history. So now Roulette is in my head taking up space and being a massive bitch. (She's sort of mini-emma.) In her history she'd definitely be one of Emma's Massachusetts Academy students. (With this low rent Jersey accent, girl was working class Atlantic City born and raised.) There is one of three things I want to do with her though.

1. I WANT IN ON SQUAD SHENANIGANS. My first thought was to make her a student at Xavier's and a senior. But that means SOME OF YOU on this list need to take some male students ASAP. She'd be hilarious and possibly spy for Shaw since the Mass Acad was HFC funded, you know plot willing. She will think Emma Frost has gone all soft, since this was the woman that created the monster used to reward her behavior and stuff. lol

2. Which isn't my favorite idea... Stick her on X-Corp, which I think M has their bitch quota completely full, and I don't think she's the best team player.

3. She could have been an older student at the mass acad, and the explosion was her last year, and she went to work for Shaw (And I'm thinking office manager sort of work for the NYC office or something) or I could do this AND retroactively say she went to Xavier's her senior year which would be the year Hisako et al graduated or the year before. Either way I NEED EMPATH, TAROT, CATSEYE and EVERYONE. OMG.

What do you guys think?
