Fan poem in runo meter for page 304 of Stand Still. Stay Silent

One of the pros (in opposition to all the cons) of December is that I start getting little appreciative comments on a six-year old community post. :D

My birthday was fine, I guess -- I spent it at home, sewing, and being on the phone. A surprising number of people called me up to wish me a happy birthday, enough that I didn't even get to make breakfast until after noon. And I got presents! Two of the Patterns of Fashion books that I didn't already have, from sneprinsesse and solbirger! You guys, I have no idea what ( Read more... )

Last day of the winter school holidays... And I've been really lazy. I've been walking my neighbours' dogs at lunchtime during the weekdays, and getting my new computer in order, and knitting. I bought a lovely organically dyed wool yarn with changing colours at the beginning of the week, with the plan to knit a pair of thick, warm and pretty leg ( Read more... )

It's the 25th of May, but since I'll be staying in all day revising maths, there won't be much point in walking around with a towel. (If I were to venture outside, though, it might actually be a good idea to bring one, considering the look of impending weather.)

It was a very nice afternoon in the café backyard, in the shade and the warm breeze. Then acropetal and I went to the cinema and ( Read more... )

A tip for anyone who -- like me -- felt less than happy with the way series 4 of Doctor Who ended: go read dwseason5! It's a fanfic journal, and it's quality fanfic. It's about what happens after the end of series 4, and it's brilliant. Well written, well plotted and excellent characterizations. (And I'm picky about things like that.)

Guess why I've been kind of absent? (In case anyone noticed...) I've been sewing. I haven't read my flist for several days, and now I'm going away for almost a week, so I'll have to try and catch up when I get back (on Wednesday ( Read more... )

So, since pnr and I made a hugely successful gingerbread TARDIS last year, we had to raise the bar slightly this year. Geekiness ensued.
