Update with Food
I've been on another emotional downswing, which renders me uncommunicative at best. On the other hand, we're swinging up again.
Update on School Issues: #2 is being evaluated. This involves lots and lots of tests at school and a longish questionnaire for us. The meeting was all kinds of awful; I only made it through by pretending it was about someone else's family. They had a folder out on the table, with #2's picture on the front. I kept getting sandbagged by his little grin. #1 made honor roll again, which makes me want to set off fireworks.
Update on Writing: Working on lgbtfest story. Over 1000 words now. Am terrified it will offend somehow, although I have nothing but benign intentions. It is a little inside-baseball in orientation. Hopefully the prompter knows his/her B5. It's a gapfiller, early S2. Nothing on Chick Flick: The Missing Scene as of yet. Well, a paragraph or two, but that's it. femgenficathon is is trouble; that one's a Who story. Well, a Donna story. There are some lovely B5 prompts in multiverse500 over at Dreamwidth, but it's summer too! Can't these things be spread out some? I put in for B5 love to be late, late, late, but don't know. I have no ideas at all for that one. With the way things are going, Chick Flick might be ready by August/September. *gloom* But that means I'll have an entry! *bounce*
Update on Reading: Bought an Elizabeth Peters mystery (Tomb of the Golden Bird). Was totally freaked out by weird POV issues in the tale. Either I can't read anymore, or she's made some major head-hopping errors. There were places I literally couldn't keep up with who was talking/thinking etc. Am I reading with Edit Eyes, or just Crazy?
Update on Watching: Really liking Doctor #11, although he is still too, too young. Amy is cool, although I feel she is Steven Moffat's Donna-As-She-Should-Have-Been, which irks me. Watched the new Foyle's War last night. Smackdown of Milner made me v. happy. 'You were unkind to Sam.' That is quite enough said, sorry if spoilers. I just can't watch the last few B5s for the re-watch. They hit way too close to home for me right now. I will try to man up for next week. *gulp*
Update on LJ: I renewed my paid premium or whatever at Dreamwidth. If enough of you go, I'm tagging along.
Update on Food: I have (in the last week) roasted a chicken (stuffed with cut lemons, rubbed with kosher salt), baked a sour cherry pie, make asparagus and leek soup which I heartily recommend. It's an elastic recipe; I substituted all sorts of stuff, like cream cheese for fromage blanc. Doesn't make near as much as the recipe suggests though. Also made sweet potato biscuits with dates and pecans. They are all kinds of yum and wicked easy. Meatballs with red peppers and onion. Spaghetti with shrimp and red peppers (seasoned with dill and lemon pepper). Green beans with butter and blanched almonds. Also joined the CSA at the local farmer's market this year. I am really looking forward to it.
