Spent most of yesterday post-driving lesson being majorly pissed off about said lesson and instructor. Woke up still feeling pissed off. JFC, with everything else that is going on in my life, I don't need this to be a source of shit as well ( Read more... )

Pleased to have managed to finish a story for the darkfic exchange. Still needs an edit, and it'll never be the best thing I've written, but I think it's passable and interesting and even if it took a month to write less than 10k, at least I'm writing again. Troubled Tales next ( Read more... )

I went to see Ghostbusters. Life goes on, I guess. The little girl enthusing as we came out how she "really liked how it was all girls!" says it all about this movie. These are the kind of women I want to see films about. I liked Erin, personally, but I can see why the Holtzman love too. And Patty ( Read more... )

This week has been fairly interesting/busy in terms of RL. Random Project of the Week started when I was at the allotment on Sunday and swearing about the sheer amount of dandelions growing there, which prompted me to declare that if they were going to grow there anyway, they were going to get eaten just like everything else. Hence snap decision to ( Read more... )

Anyone into Daredevil at all on my flist? My epic_rec last week was a DD crossover, and I ended up reading the fic (an old favourite) again, which led to me watching the director's cut of the movie again, which leads to me now having a re-read of the comics for the first time in a while. (And I'm doing a catch-up on the recent TPBs, having ordered ( Read more... )

The steampunk AUfic is turning out to be kind of a monster, given that I'm 4 chapters and around 20k in, and it feels like it's just really finished the beginning stages. I'm guessing 40-60k ( Read more... )

Went straight to the allotment after work, where half the windows that we'd propped up against the fence yesterday had blown down in the wind, so had to move all the windows into the shed in nervousness of the forecast worsening weather. And then some digging. And I split my boot! Dammit. I am never buying Sketchers boots again. Lasted less than 9 ( Read more... )

Spent the afternoon carrying windows up a large, muddy hill to the spot at the top where we could actually park the car. I think this goes down among "things which gardeners/allotmenters do that sane people wouldn't". Snaffling windows from people who have huge piles of them going to waste that they're getting ready to skip ( Read more... )

I am so exhausted this week. I've been having eye problems, and finally went to the optician. So now I have drops for the eye I'd been having the most problems with, which apparently has a dysfunctional tear duct, and a referral for a corneal lesion in the other damn eye, which comes as a complete surprise. I still don't think I've caught up on ( Read more... )
