This will be my last entry to LiveJournal. It's quite a sad thing, but at the same time, long overdue. I've been cross-posting my DreamWidth entries for a long while now, but it seems LJ is no longer willing to live the co-operative life with DW, and DreamWidth is by far a better place to be, so that has for a long time been my primary journal ( Read more... ) -
Snowflake Challenge #12
I believe #11 was 'interact with someone', and I'm reasonably confident that I have done that.

The Jinjurly Audiofic Archive is missing a bunch of podficced stories, and would like help in locating them. Check here for more info:

Snowflake Challenge #10
In your own space, rec a fanwork (fic, art, vid, playlist, anything!) you did not create.
Well, fic is my jam, so here are a select handful of stories spanning several centuries of canon.
A really excellent prequel to 'Much Ado About Nothing', in which Benedick and Beatrice find common ground and then manage to lose it again. There's just a little ( Read more... ) -
are the stars out tonight
My lovely online knitting group met this evening, and among other things discovered that the Royal Astronomical Society is putting together a Bicentannial Quilt.

It looks amazing!

I've just discovered Wordle, and overall do reasonably well, but when the word to be guessed is something ( Read more... ) -
it's all in the plan
I'm not interested in today's Snowflake Challenge at all, so I'll be skipping it.
Quite a busy day today. Beast woke me with the reminder that I had to take Boy to UEA's medical centre for a blood test, which I had completely forgotten. That accomplished, we were trotting about a bit for various reasons this morning. The plumbers were plumbing ( Read more... ) -
Snowflake Challenge #8
In your own space, celebrate a personal win from the past year: it can be a list of fanworks you're especially proud of, a gift of your time to the community, a quality or skill you cultivated in yourself, something you generally feel went well.
Um. It wasn't a good year, last year, and for one reason and another I slid mentally slough-wards for ( Read more... ) -
slip a sable under the tree for me
I don't read Captain Awkward nearly as often these days now there are no comments to the stories, but I had a look through and oh my, I like this page. The absent questions hang horribly in the air like a gamekeeper's rotting gibbet, and the answers are very sound.

It was Sable's official birthday yesterday. She is.... FIVE! She celebrated with ( Read more... ) -
muddle through somehow
Beast had put "Tenet" on his wishlist and received it for Christmas, so we watched it this week. It was... clever, I suppose. Not surprised at all by the final revelation, but it was done very well.
Having seen 'The Night Manager' as well, I don't think I'm going to be able to believe Elizabeth Debicki as anything other than the elegant, innocent ( Read more... ) -
Snowflake Challenge #7
Yes, skipped #6. Might post it later, depending.
Snowflake Challenge #7
In your own space, tell us about 3 fandom resources, spaces, or communities you use or enjoy. (One or two is fine, especially if you're in a smaller fandom!)
I have only one space/resource/community to recommend, but it's something that has brought me enormous pleasure and which ( Read more... ) -
Snowflake Challenge #5
Was it yesterday or the day before that I woke up happy, due to the news on Radio 4 announcing that the Gove creature was stuck in the BBC lift? Heh.
The drilling crew are *still* here, but have at last drilled and filled all the holes, and are now doing the trenches to take the pipes from the holes to the house. My back garden looks like a ( Read more... )
