Firstly, yay for things arriving in my letterbox and my email box ::smooshes you know whos::

I've spent the morning revelling in the exploits of two of my favourite men (er, Stephen Fleming and James Franklin *G*) and trying to recover from all the intensely weird dreams I had after seeing the film Caché. I thoroughly enjoyed it (mainly because I ( Read more... )

Was in conversation with alwaysjbj yesterday about the good__evil month of Wes and Evil!Willow and decided that as most of my f-list writes very good Wes stories, I'm peering at all of you and suggesting you go over and consider posting your fic!

Two posts in one day. I'm positively spammin'

I feel like I’m doing my masters in fic-reading rather than that other silly topic (er, what was it again?) at the moment. There’s so much stuff out there!!! I joined some communities new-to-me; one I discovered via bookishwench called ficathon_codex that lists all ficathons past and present; another one that amavel_bel pointed the way ( Read more... )

Sorry to those of you who don't give a flying fig. And sorry to skylee and alwaysjbjDid someone pull an act of mojo and we're all in an alternate universe or something? The Australian crickets finished the day on 210 for 7. Crikey ( Read more... )

I thought I'd do a general wave to the people who I've friended and who've friended me lately ::waves ( Read more... )

It's hot. It's amazing how dehydrated you can get. On the other hand listening to Primal Scream's Loaded is the perfect soundtrack to such warm weather.

The Australians crickets lost to ::drumroll:: Bangladesh. How much is that Christmas, New Years and ten birthdays all wrapped up in one? (Sorry skyleeCaptain Jack ( Read more... )
