I am really enjoying season six. Night before last I watched the one with the Chinese were-dog (forgettable) and then Mulagro which I found fascinating and creepy and touching and thoughtful all at the same time. I was trying to work on an original story while watching (multi-tasking *sigh*) and kept thinking about that quote by Red Smith:"There's ( Read more... )

A short seasonal piece, my first foray into X-Files fic. Be aware I have not finished the entire series, and this was started just after I'd seen the relevant episodes in S5. Un-beta'd but credit to

So a part has not arrived, and the move is deferred. Given I spent most of the week disassembling the microscopes and boxing spare equipment that had boxes, cleaning out my office, etc., this is a bit anticlimactic.

I set up an experiment for the weekend, then moved it to Monday and Tuesday since the move is deferred. I have to go in and set up ( Read more... )

It's been crazy around here. I'm prepping for the lab move, which is stressful. R is off to Ohio to deal with legal matters about his Dad, which is stressful.

Have you ever re-read something you wrote and not really recognized it? Every year or so someone reads Lennier/Ivanova and comments. This time I re-read New Beginnings and couldn't really ( Read more... )

I feel like I've been off-line for years although the calendar says it's only been a week. I was on my own last night and decided to get through a couple of things I'd been putting off; a one episode re-watch for B5, some writing, and a lot of reading. R and the boys were camping with the Scouts so I had the tv to myself and could do that pause-and ( Read more... )

Are you all watching Haven? I just started watching it this season; been meaning to start for a while, but you know how it goes. In any case, I was practically a guaranteed fan. I mean, it's set in Maine. You all know how I feel about Maine. I make Maine icons. I go to any course I can wangle in Maine. I vacation (well, twice) in Maine. Not sure I' ( Read more... )

Just a brief note before I'm off to grocery shop. When I get back,  I will dig into the B5 episode du jour.

A constant distraction this morning is my newfound ability to capture screenshots, which is sideways due to kungfuwaynewho 's kind offer of Anna shots a while ago. I looked at the name of the shots and saw 'vlc'. I have that, thought I, and we were off to ( Read more... )

Brief update today:

Worked 12 hours yesterday so took the morning off.

Managed to catch a virus on the big laptop this am. Maybe by printing out maze patterns for planned cake. Damn those Cub Scouts on Facebook anyway! McCaffee is checking things out, which will take longer than I have to stay home.

But while I was home, the hose burst outside. Damn ( Read more... )
