who are you, echoing street signs?

For me, it's Saturday morning. In the UK it's mid-afternoon, and Shim is cooking a hare (long story). I am doing my yuletide nominations. We are doing this at the same time via Skype. It is, at once, we're-living-in-the-future!, and oh-woe-why-am-I-not-home-cooking-a-hareStill. You do what you can, etc. I went out last night to drink cocktails, and then I

Yay promotion!

In the interest of keeping things all in one place, I'm actually just hosting it at my LJ.

(DS9! I hope that one gets in so I can read fic for it.)

[loneraven]

Yay! I have edited. :) I reeeeeally hope DS9 gets in! Really, really.

Secondly, [info]rs_small_gifts is running again. Do I want to sign up, flist. Do I, do I.

I disapprove of this as a null question! You do, because you ask. I am more interested in the question "How much schoolwork does Iona have due 10/30 - 11/30 (or IMMEDIATELY after), how difficult is it, and is she doing an insane amount of travelling during it?"

[loneraven]

*grins* You raise a fair point, my dear. Answer: LOTS, kinda, none. So I can sign up if I'm good about my work. Whether I will be is a whole other question. *dithers*

[dormouse_in_tea]

Perhaps it will motivate you about the work if you put stick-its with 'R/S' on all of it!

[yiskah]

Aw, I was hoping you might ask for A Suitable Boy fic! As someone not in fandom, I have to rely on other people to do these things for me...

[loneraven]

*grins* I am torn! I can re-do the sign-up, so these are basically my preliminary choices. I kind of think someone else will nominate it, so I don't have to. But then there's danger in thinking that way, isn't there. *dither dither*

[yiskah]

Oooooh! Well as long as SOMEONE does, I'll be happy!

Ooh, I love the Casson Family series! And I have somehow missed that fic every time I've browsed the Yuletide archives, so thank you.

(Rob owns a garlic press, and I tease him for it frequently, claiming it's ridiculous extravagance and he can get on Perfectly Fine with a knife. I have t say, though, I am very grateful for his large amount of cooking stuff.)

[loneraven]

It's called "Feeling Blue", and it's fabulous. :)

jacinthsong has a garlic press, and we used to cook together a lot in my second and third years, and it was AMAZING. I don't know when or why I internalised the thought that "having a garlic press = GROWN UP".

[littlered2]

Reading it now! Oh, poor Indigo. *weeps*

Ideas of what constitutes Being Grown up are weird. I'm not really sure why I think that shopping for food at the Covered Market = grown up, but apparently I do.

[highfantastical]

I really want to read those Hilary McKay books, because I loved her Exiles series so much. When I once again have monies, they shall go On My List...

[littlered2]

The Exiles series is brilliant! I adore those books wholeheartedly.

[loneraven]

Oh, they should! If you have not read them by the time I'm back in the UK, I'll lend you mine. :)
