To see if that helps with the deluge of spam. The next step will be friends-only, hopefully it doesn't come to that.
Went to a preview of "Skyfall" tonight, sponsored by Hubby's work. As James Bonds go, it was a good one, with the requisite amount of explosions and bon mots. And, in the squee heard 'round the world...

It's writing! Sort of!
From fanfromfla:
1: Pick five fandoms. List them in alphabetical order.
2: Visit this site to find your first RANDOM POEM OF POWER. Write down the 5th line. Repeat five times and list 'em in alphabetical order! (No cheating! This is a challenge and it's about creativity.)
3: Write a very quick 50-word half-drabble for each fandom.

Rock of Ages
Not an epic film, but a fun one if you, like me, have fond memories of a childhood baby-sitter who was into big blonde hair and acid-wash jeans (or perhaps if you yourself were once that baby-sitter ( Read more... ) -
mcicioni has inspired me!
Not to immediately rush out and write more, unfortunately (although it would be great if I had the time for that!) I have uploaded a bunch of my old favourites to the Archive of Our Own, though, mostly because I really like their interface (I understand this is something of a political button in some ways, like so much of fandom, but I don't know ( Read more... ) -
I have ficc'ed!
For the first time in a long time. It's not long, but it's porny. Blame Hubby, whose reaction, upon seeing two extremely close male characters in the manly Cold War spy thriller "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy" was: "They're totally sleeping together." I have taught him well ( Read more... ) -
Lucy Liu as Watson?
Article hereWhy is the BBC Sherlock fandom not agog over this? Or are they, and I'm just not in the fandom deep enough to see (very possible.) I would like the idea, if not for the all-but-foregone conclusion that it will turn, Castle-style, into yet another mess of forced UST until they hook up sometime in Season 3 and immediately jump the shark ( Read more... ) -
Sick! But getting better.
This may be TMI, but not enough for me to cut it because it's a source of pride I don't get to share: I went twelve years without throwing up. January 2000-February 2012. That includes three pregnancies, one long labour, nine years of working with germ-infested elementary students, and not a single morsel reverse-passed my lips. Three months into ( Read more... ) -
A word about Jack Layton..
As most of you already know, we lost him yesterday. He left us an inspirational letter which has been tweeted all over the place, but which is still well worth reading: "Dear Friends..."For my foreign friends, while he wasn't prime minister, "Jack" had a great personal popularity (I'd even compare it to Obama or Tony Blair dying at the height of ( Read more... ) -
Happy Canada Day!
As wpadmirer already knows, I celebrated early by taking Little T to see Will and Kate at the War Memorial yesterday, so she could say she saw him once he becomes king (probably about the time she's putting me in the nursing home.) We waited for two hours (Little T is amazingly patient at this kind of thing, hamming to the crowd all the time) and got some ( Read more... )
