I did a teeny-tiny LiveJournal FL cut last night - or, rather, early this morning; mostly dead comms, plus one or two people who'd defriended me (the nerve of it!) (actually, I'd met a couple of them in person, so it was a bit wounding. I don't think I'm that obnoxious!). I also removed a few people who it's fairly obvious aren't reading, so what's ( Read more... )

I have, FL dear, once again been out and had a wonderful time, in spite of all the woes of looming unemployment and residual concussion. Unfortunately, I am now too tired to tell you about it in any detail. Suffice it to say that I have been to visit Green Knowe, which is actually called The Manor at Hemingford Grey, and that it is just as ( Read more... )

Here's an aberration for you.

Title: Summer in Another City

Fandom: The West Wing
Characters: C J Cregg, Danny Concannon
Rating: G
Word count: 640
Notes: Written 18 July 2010 for sorkinverse challenge #20, fic with prompts, prompt: ice cream. Also note that the first line is "she is sitting" not "she is sat". Please stop doing that, everyone!

( She's sitting on the Embankment steps, her shoes off and her $400 Donna Karan skirt hitched up way above her knees. )

So, sorry about that, FL: two whingey posts in less than a week, but things have been poo on a fairly regular basis (although I suppose that's the best sort of poo, at least you can save on Actimel) round here and yesterday they were SUPER poo - home, work, even the people in the computer rose up and conspired against me - and I spent quite a long ( Read more... )

It isn't a waste of a weekend to spend most of it sleeping, is it? Not if you're tired ( Read more... )

Excuse me, My First Dictionary!

That's not nice.

Also, Daily Twitterscope, in re you cannot stop the words from buzzing through your mind: there are a number of words buzzing through my mind at the moment, some of them rude ones (never mind why) and some of them even relating to the fic I should be writing, but they're still refusing to be pinned ( Read more... )

It has been a(nother) dull and humdrum day. This is what I've achieved:

1) Have not killed our alleged supervisor, but only because she's in New Hampshire and I'm not. This is only one of the things that makes her a crappy supervisor;

2) Have not killed anyone, actually. Aren't I good?

3) Have ordered season one of Leverage from Amazon.com. This ( Read more... )

I have been up to London today, and now I am terribly, terribly homesick. I miss London. A lot. There are shops there! And cafes! And theatres, and museums, and art galleries, and cinemas! And statues, and interesting buildings! And transport systems that (almost) work! And people who are not everyone else's second cousin! Some of whom are standing ( Read more... )

I am in that distressing state where I am awfully bored and want to talk to someone or do something but have nothing to talk about and am too tired to move. Clearly there's no point talking about films, so scratch that off the agenda ... a meme it is, then.

Reply to this meme by yelling "Words!" and I will give you five words that remind me of you ( Read more... )
