Various and sundry
Here's some random stuff because that's the way I'm flying today.
1. I think the dizziness is starting to abate. It feels different. Not gone yet, but better. Yay!
2. I am working on polishing up my fic. Hopefully it will be ready for public viewing in a day or two:D
3. School cannot start soon enough, especially because both girls are excited about their teachers and I'm especially thrilled about DD1's teacher.
4. I can't believe it's only Tuesday. The week will not slow down until the girls go back to school.
5. Yesterday, the phone could not receive calls. I called Verizon (puke). This evening, the phone rang. We were stunned. I know Verizon has not fixed it yet. WTF? Very strange. I kind of liked it that way.
6. I am out of frozen yogurt. This is tragic. I will have to make some tomorrow.
7. Feeling much better about life since yesterday. The gloominess has been banished!
8. Also, I'm looking for more betas. We all have lives. I hate to burden one person with my insanity. I want someone who is not afraid to give me concrit. If you think you are mean, we are probably a good fit.:)
In much better/fun news, lewisian_gneiss would like to know your favorite quote(s)/lines from Merlin. Bring 'em on.
Hereare a couple of my favorites:
Arthur: *takes bite of stew* What kind of meat is this? It has a very strange texture...
Merlin: It's pork...?
Arthur: *shakes head* This is not pork. It's much to stringy. Is this-- *puts down spoon* This is rat, isn't it?
Merlin: *nods* Try not to think about it...
Arthur: *sarcastic* Look at me! I'm being rude! Here I am, stuffing my face with this delicious stew, when you're hungry, too! *stands and pats chair* Sit.
-------
Arthur: He said each of us is only allowed to drink from a single goblet. (pause) I had no idea you were so keen to die for me.
Merlin: Trust me, I can hardly believe it myself.
From 1.13
Arthur: I'm glad you're here, Merlin.
Arthur: I sometimes wonder if you know who I am.
Merlin: Oh, I know who you are.
Arthur: Good.
Merlin: You're a prat. And a royal one.
Arthur: Are you ever going to change, Merlin?
Merlin: No, you'd get bored. Promise me this, if you get another servant, don't get a bootlicker.
Arthur: If this is you trying to leave your job...
Merlin: No. I'm happy to be your servant, till the day I die.
Arthur: Sometimes I think I know you, Merlin. Other times...
Merlin: Well, I know you. and you're a great warrior. One day you'll be a great King.
Arthur: That's very kind of you.
Merlin: But you must learn to listen as well as you fight.
Arthur: Any more pointers?
Merlin: No. That's it. Just don't be a prat.
From 2.04:
What are Wilderen?
They are like giant ... baby... rats.
Baby rats? They don't sound so bad.
They feast on human flesh.
Maybe we should go over the mountains.
From 2.10: Arthur: It is destiny, my love! And chicken.

- From ep 1.01:
- Merlin. Merlin. Merlin
- I'm in disguise.
- My fans are waiting.
- How's your kneewalking coming along?
- I could take you apart with one blow.
- I warn you, I've been trained to kill since birth.
- Wow, and how long've you been training to be a prat?
- Sorry, how long have you been training to be a prat, my lord?
