I had a really lovely weekend - starting Friday evening. On Friday, after work, I went to something called 'Taste of London', which is a foodie gathering in Regent's Park (I got tickets for the bf and I through work). It's an open-air sort of thing, fortunately with marquees because it rained quite a lot. There were various top restaurants, and top ( Read more... )

Okay, I was talking about this with

I haven't squeed about my course lately. Mainly because, for the last two lessons (which are once a week), our usual tutor was away. We had someone who claimed to be "just as knowledgeable". That may well have been the case, but his ability to communicate that knowledge was non-existent, so we spent the lessons pootling around with the programme. ( Read more... )

I haven't actually blathered on my lj much this week. I think I unnerved myself by tagging all the posts I felt were blather (i.e. the random thoughts in my head about green tea ice cream, the doors at work, my ankle itching, kitchen cupboard picnics...), and that tag being so damn huge in the little cloud to the left. But, heck, I do blather, and ( Read more... )

I was just thinking about my fic writing habits, and started to wonder... when did I last write Sam/Jack? I had to check, and the last fics / ficlets I've written have been, from most recent and working backwards -

• Sam/Daniel
• gen
• gen
• gen
• Jack/Teal'c, Sam/Daniel, Daniel/Jonas

So, I'm writing a fic, and... I'm completely hopeless at anything sciencey. (Not that Stargate itself doesn't suck majorly at that, too, on occasion, but hey.) So, question, oh brainy ones ( Read more... )

Okay, I am going to post my sd_ficathon story today... it's just going to be a little later today.

In the meanwhile... some replies to comments wot I didn't reply to at the time (and now if I post in people's ljs, they might not be seen - and I want, of all things, to be seen!), and other random stuff.

My sunflowers are doing very nicely, thanks,

It had to happen sometime. Animation lesson yesterday went a little pear-shaped. I managed to do... something... which meant the figure I'd spent the last 45 minutes designing ceased to exist. Except I could still see it. But I couldn't alter it or select it or do anything other than click repeatedly on it and growl, "Why? Why is there no object ( Read more... )
