On the bright side, chapter posted a short bit earlier on “the repair guy”.

Aww! Buuuut that means you get a day off to spend more time writing dirty things and playing with us. Soo… Yay?

I didn’t take a full day, simply left early because I wasn’t up to doing the job as I wasn’t feeling well.  Don’t worry, got plenty of time off this month to work on dirty things (and research said dirty things, well, most of it, with all those … erm … “nature” documentaries)!

Read an essay about lesbian lizards. Some species that no longer had males and could still reproduce didn’t need to have sex anymore but did anyway or something. 

Well, sex is recreational too, so what else is a lizard to do when they have nothing else to do?

IKR? They can only sun on rocks and eat crickets for so long!

I’ve been meaning to start that one on procrastination for ages.

I never quite got around to getting the degree, which might be possible if I ever get around to enrolling.

Link please?!

Thanks!

“Think of the children!”  Of course, especially for the witches who find them a delicious snack.

Someone at my office brought it in  – in plastic tubs.  I have to walk past the @#$%^&*! mini-packs of peanut M&Ms as soon as I open the office door.

Oh my god, Marley! I both pity you and want to be you. 

I think there was a Tales of the Unexpected that had that as the plot once. This guy could hear his neighbours rose bushes screaming as they were pruned. Eventually, he took an axe to a massive old oak tree and deafened himself or something, after trying to convince people that he could hear plants were in pain. He was trying to record it, I think.

My mother reckons it’s some old drama/ tv play for today series we have on DVD. Forgot what it’s called.

LOL You made me double check. Though I do like shit violent. 

One little letter change, that’s all it takes to go to the dark side.  It’s so warm in the fading light.

You make it sound so tempting… 

Nope… I actually need it to be back in August, so I can still be in Japan  and school not having started back home… So… we’re rewinding back to August, sorry… 

My Halloween story is ready and I’m itching to post!

No spoilers now     Naked teenagers, indian burial ground, and truth or dare.  Also, I seem to be playing story tag bingo with this one.

Best kinda bingo, imho.

Story is now in LaTeX and I’m working on the revision.

That sounds like a good idea. I’m just going to write a scene with established characters so the temptation doesn’t strike me to write something longer.

This particular halloween fic has been tough to get started, with so many options, but not wanting to stomp over where my other stories are heading.  Same universe, as always, with a nice bonus that it’ll set something up to feed into another story.

Oh crap… Thanks for reminding me early. I always want to do a oneshot for halloween, but only ever think about it when it’s too late. Now what the hell am I gonna write?! Gaaah… 

Then there’s getting the LOTR fans with “Say, did you ever read Celebrían?”

Ah.. you can’t get me there. One does not simply forget Celebrian.

And honestly? Given the choice between that and Legolas by Laura… ? Compared to that Celebrian was actually kind of well-written, and in some ways much easier to stomach, as it were. I know which one would make me scream first if put on constant repeat, and it’d be the one without proper use of full stops and commas…

If only Celebrian had been written withoutthe endless bucketloads of semen, unrealistic horse and warg rape, and with just a little bit more attention to the elements of psychological torture and horror elements… wait, what am I saying?!

Sorry. Yes. *dutifully falls into line*

Still wonders if it could be saved, privately.

Though, for a halloween fic, I’ll keep it shorter, obviously, but yeah, this has potential.  (I’ve already trashed like three or four starts to it.)

Hey, chin up… *hugs*

I will get caught up on it eventually, I swear. 

Catchy!

Normally I use random name generators, but this came to me after seeing just “Riggs”, and I like this way better! 

That’s the best way round. Mortis and Riggs just sounds austopsy turvy.

I don’t know what any of that means, but grats! Show that thing who’s boss!

This morning, I was almost done with replacing my kitchen microwave (over-the-range, so some minor work required), when the plug wouldn’t go into the outlet, despite having test fitted it earlier.  The “tamper-resistant” part is a “safety-feature” to keep kids from putting things into it, supposed to be spring loaded to let in a plug but not a butter knife.  Fortunately, I had a spare outlet laying around w/o this nuisance “feature” and replaced it.  Seems to me that “child-proof” features seem designed to let the kids in and keep the adults out.

I saw totality, and...it’s different from partial.

Oh, I know, and I wish we had been able to see totality in real life, and not via the NASA feed.

Cameras, or at least mine, don’t have the dynamic range to do it justice.  At least I did get a couple of decent pictures though. 

Ha! Yes! Doooo itttt! 

I have no explanation, but it’s got potential as a wicked plot bunny…

A dating site leads to a dating site to a dating site. Some char goes so far down the rabbit hole that they end up in an alternate reality that’s just one big dating site. Like those 90s movies about video games… Brainscan? Pretty sure there was an ‘Are You Afraid of the Dark’ episode like that. Maybe even Goosebumps. 

BW said plotbunny – of course, I immediately went to horror references. What, there are other kinds of stories? Psssh.

Maybe people who use dating websites usually sign up for more than one, so any business a site loses to the competition is made up for by ad revenue.

Or maybe nobody's paying attention at corporate HQ.

I’ve got the 2003 honda civic… manual transmission!  (It’s really fun to drive.)  Since bought it used in 2006, I’m not 100% certain that it was the original battery, but most likely was.

Oops—I just assumed it was a Prius. I didn’t even know they made a Civic hybrid back in 2003. And I didn’t know there were ANY hybrids with a manual transmission. *”The More You Know” rainbow appears*

I thought the same thing when I first heard about it from the salesman.  But yeah, some civic hybrids were manuals.  (Not certain if any still are.)   And so it’s got the advantages of a manual including being able to compression start it (ie, get it moving and pop the clutch, downhill preferred), and the security in knowing that some of the younger thieves won’t know how to operate the thing.

Ha! You should put that in your sig.
