After fighting wicked writer's block and general fannish ennui for the last few months, I've finally had a rather good week when it comes to fannish endeavours. I have ( Read more... )

I love msmoat's Post About Your Fandom Weekend idea, and wanted to contribute, even though my current fannish interests are far removed from Pros--some day I really want to interrogate my muse about how its interests changed from spies, special agents, and scruffy men with swords to a boyband, but for now I'm just enjoying the ride *g*--and I'm gong to ( Read more... )

I've finally had some time to write up my fab trip to Frankfurt and my Mark Owen concert experience.

( This way to pics and me going on a bit )

I'm still working to get a post ready about my Frankfurt trip and Mark's concert, but in the meantime, I've been debating the fashion merits of the jacket Mark's been wearing to a lot of the gigs with cenea.

I don't know that I'll have much online time from here on out, so I'll see you all on the flip side.

One week tonight, I'll have seen Mark live. To celebrate, I thought I'd post my favourite pic from his current round of publicity. Mark might be known as the smiley one in TT, but I'm rather fond of his more serious expressions.

After two miserably rainy soccer nights, today we got glorious perfect weather for the game: blue skies and just slightly cool. The kids were up for the game and they did really well against a strong team. We lead for the first half, but then they caught up to us. The final score was a 5 - 5 draw, which we were all very happy with ( Read more... )
