brrrr fall is here
For most of Friday I had little to do at work (even got Gotham watched) and then all of a sudden around 2:30 it went crazy--phone ringing off the hook, people coming in, work being thrown at me. Gah
Then I had errands to run and finally got to the grocery for the week (I usually go Monday). I collapsed with dinner and watched a bunch of tv. I didn't even realize I hadn't posted until today.
Yesterday's happy was that I caught the last half of Walking Dead's first ep of the season and saw the real end with Morgan (my recording stopped before that) and YAY!
Today I woke up around 6:30 and just stayed up. Finished reading "Ever After" and started the next and penultimate book in the Hollows series. My plan to work outside got derailed by how frickin' cold it was, so I spent about 90 minutes in the garage breaking down boxes and filling bags with clothes and goodwill stuff. Found several vintage items and some clothes that will fit me.
Mom stopped by with a "Be Loyal" tshirt for the Royals with the implied message of 'loyal since 1985' which mostly, yes, except for about ten years from the 1994 strike, not that I was loyal to any other baseball team; I just was sick of the huge salaries and egos (also a couple years later I was consumed by Buffy and online fandom).
I printed off the form to order a dumpster and it was so confusing I called the waste department and I can't just order one over the phone, but I can bring the form into the office on Monday (opens at 7:30) and they'll help me fill it out. Whatevs. For some reason they need a picture ID as well (plus a deposit).
I'm pretty sure I got water here without needing show a picture ID.
But then I can't buy allergy medicine without showing a picture ID.
I keep forgetting that the World Series is on Fox and not TBS. I get Fox on all my tvs, not just the on with the digital box/DVR, so on Wed I can record two shows at both 7:00 and 8:00 and watch the game in my bedroom when I'll switch out my summer for winter clothes during commercials.
So, I assume Yuletide has already made fandom wank over the whole unofficial/official letter posts. *snort* Screening comments that weren't critical at all really doesn't help your case, "official letter grid creator". Letters aren't required anyway! If you're going to volunteer to set up a grid of them, then any help you're offered should be graciously accepted. It's like they got their noses out of joint because someone else started a letter post and grid.
Also, I'm probably doing Yuletide wrong but I haven't even decided on what I'm asking for let alone come close to drafting a letter! The tagset isn't even official yet! I usually don't do my letter until assignments go out (because frankly I forget about it). I guess for some people they start reading letters before sign ups even begin and start ficcing treats! I have so many other fics due before December even rolls around, that's not going to happen. If I have time I'll try for some pinch hits, but I have big bangs to write and other holiday exchanges as well. Maybe a lot of people only participate in Yuletide. Not me.
The sun is shining in my back yard. :)
KSU and OU keep going back and forth on scoring. Currently 21-17 KSU near the end of the first half. I'm having soup for lunch at halftime. KU plays TT at 2:30.
I need to fic desperately. I need to come up with my IWRY idea as it's due on Tuesday!
