It's snowing again here in New England.  What else is new ( Read more... )

The working hypothesis is that a spike from the blade of the snowplow was buried in the iceball I hit.  The guy at the tire shop was quite impressed!  Thankfully, it is all repaired now, and I have the car back.

Got another 11" of snow during the night.  What a joy to wake up to.  On the good side, technically I got my workout in for the day while shoveling the driveway (the plowridge, actually).  The hard part wasn't the shoveling itself, it was throwing the snow up onto the 4-5 foot pile already there from the previous storms.

For my own personal (and twisted) amusement, I thought it would be fun to let my iPod pick a song at random, and then try to write a Good Omens drabble inspired by it. Fine idea, until it was put into practice. Brad Paisley's Throttleneck?

It seemed like such a good idea at the time.

Last year, I made socks for my husband and two daughters for Christmas, and it worked out great.  I got them done in time, and they were loved by all.

Um.  Not so much this year.

It's late on December 31st, and I have, oh, half a sock done for one girl.

Ah, well.  Anyway, here's a picture of what I have ( Read more... )

"I wish you a fiscally successful, personally fulfilling and medically uncomplicated recognition of the generally accepted calendar year 2011, but not without due respect for the calendars of choice of other cultures whose contributions to society have helped make America great.

Well.

I'm about to take the plunge and post my first bit of Good Omens fanfic to the lower_tadfield community.

It's a bit nerve-wracking, actually.  I love to write, and I love Good Omens, and I have so many ideas and scenes and vignettes floating around in my head.  All very well, you might say.
