So, hey, there's a snippet from a post-CoE story under the cut.

( London was a mess, afterward. The rest of the whole bloody world was as well, but London was its epicenter, the feverish site of the primary infection. )

Just finished watching Torchwood: Children of Earth. Some thoughts:

( That's right, there are spoilers for the whole series under here. But hopefully not too much whining. )

Although it's certainly not for lack of trying on my body's part. Eurgh. I loathe fevers. I'm by turns too hot or cold, and everything aches, my eyes are all puffy, and now-- for added fun!-- I can't manage to keep anything down. Joy ( Read more... )

1. Yay, Michael Phelps! I have to say, I've greatly enjoyed watching Phelps swim this past week-- even if it meant enduring the endless lovesick odes to his greatness that NBC's been shoving down our throats.

1. So a couple of months ago I got shanghai'd by my mother into working at the day camp she runs every summer-- I'm leading a group of rising sixth grade girls, so you know.
