I had a dream last night that Russel Crowe and I were sitting around this old style type diner talking about breakfast cereal.  I had Russel Crowe circa Gladiator in my dream and we were talking about breakfast cereal.  Breakfast cereal.  Holly crap, I'm old.

For what it's worth, my subconscious thinks he's a Fibre One guy.

December is mostly about observing the rituals required for the sun to return.  Around our house we've had latkas on the first day of Hanukkah, baked a few dozen shortbread cookies, and today at lunch, because the beloved's working the late shift, we ate our pig-in-a-can.

I've been trying to catch up on my flist and wow, there's a bunch of us feeling kind of non fannish and cranky.  On the up side, I don't feel quite so alone.  On the down side... actually, not really a down side.  Some of us are feeling detached -- twittered and tumblered -- and deciding to re-attach and return to actually conversations.  Moi aussi ( Read more... )

Am digging a 3 ft by 2ft by 2ft deep hole in the front yard and I call bullshit on the Winchesters being able to get down through six by four by six feet of old (not recently disturbed so it's nice and lose but old so it's packed tight) dirt in the time allotted (adding lovely squared corners) without a freakin' back hoe.  Okay, granted, there's ( Read more... )

Work has had me on my feet since last Tuesday -- actually Wednesday, Tuesday I was still mostly on my ass -- and my feet are killing me.  I've had no time to be fannish, and behind with Dr. Who and haven't written a frickin word in almost a week.  Thursday we return to our usual programing and thank god for that.

That's all.  Just, you know, not

Because I am frugal --  okay, fine, I'm cheap -- I usually color my own hair.

Now, when I was a dark ash blonde this wasn't a big thing because you can't really screw up dark ash blonde.  If dark ash blonde was a food, it'd be a bowl of honey nut cheerios -- a little more going for it than regular cheerios but, bottom line, it's a breakfast cereal ( Read more... )

And to celebrate the whole new year, let's wrap up the old year.

Favorite television show I'm fannish about:  Hawaii Five-O
Close second: Supernatural
Honourable mention: Leverage

Although I was still very involved in Supernatural fandom and although I spent way too much of my emotional capital on the show and the meta and the fic it inspires, I wasn' ( Read more... )

No, not really. I couldn't get Sam and/or Dean within ten feet of the eliptical. Apparently, it's not manly enough. And doesn't face the tv. However, since for medical reasons I'm back on no impact for another two months, running and/or biking with Sam and Dean will return in January ( Read more... )

Dear Allergy Meds:

Who made the rule that I can breathe or I can think but I can't do both at once? Because seriously, it's a stupid rule.
