eeyore9990 @ 10:10am: FEST SEASON YAY!!!!
OMG OMG OMG!! FEST SEASON HAS BEGUN!

MY EXCITEMENT CANNOT BE CONTAINED!



Kinky Kristmas started with GORGEOUS art and an AMAZING fic. Go here to see them both!

And snapelyholidays kicked off with a bang this morning, as well. A lovely smutty bang. Lots of banging, if you ask me. :D A Haunting Past is a scorching hot Remus/Lily/Severus potions accident made them do it fic. So awesome.

*waits impatiently for harry_holidays, happy_trekmas, and severus_lucius to start posting*

WHEEEEE! FEST SEASON!!!

icarusancalion @ 10:24am: Why did I trust him?
Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'll find my dresses in one of the boxes, buried under some books.

I should never have listened to WG.

I was supposed to go to Seattle September 9th. I had the tickets and it was all set. We were going to go through all our things together and split them up. Take things to Goodwill. I was going to help him move. I was going to take him to his oral surgery appointment. I was going to put together furniture for him in his new apartment. I was going to spend some time with Monte kitty to say goodbye.

He called me and asked me not to come. He'd send me my things.

Why did I trust him?

icarusancalion @ 9:13am: Fucking crossdressers.
I just discovered that WG kept both of my stretch velvet cocktail dresses, the deep blue one and the black one.

That's just beyond the pale.

He went through my stuff and just decided what he wanted to keep. Regardless of whose it was.

sams_cafe @ 8:18pm: So I was all, "aunty_marion, I would like a hat!"

And aunty_marion was like, "Dude, I can make you a hat!"

So I was like, "Can you make me...a Dalek-head hat?"

And she was all, "TCH, YEAH!"

And thus I acquired a hat.



Teddy bear not included. He's mine and his name is Picnic.

Prices vary by yarn type and shipping and such, but mine was $20 and it is undoubtedly the finest fannish $20 I have spent since I bought Travelin' Jack Harkness. It is going to INSULATE. INSULATE. INSULATE. my head all winter long!

It has bobbles for speaker lights!

sams_cafe @ 7:48pm: MY FLAT SMELLS AMAZING.

After I got of my poor bruised ass, I gathered up a ton of leftovers from Thanksgiving and made some brand of turkey curry in my dutch oven. I love my dutch oven, which after frying two batches of stuffing and a game hen is pretty much non-stick these days.

Curry veterans reading this will no doubt lol, but I have never made curry before and I feel like a CULINARY GOD.

( Turkey Curry )

I still have about 4lbs of turkey left. Tomorrow night, after I have bought an onion: TURKEY CHOWDER.

swtalmnd @ 4:45pm: Fic! I posted fic!
accioslash requested that I save Thicker Than Water for santas_lap, since that fest wasn't getting a lot of love this year, so I've made it my first entry into the fest. Finally, my LLM fic is delivered only 11 months late. Please heed the warnings!

In other news, anyone wanting stuff from Antemortem Arts or my Etsy shop can mention this post and get 20% off through tomorrow (as a refund).

But really, I POSTED FIC!

\o/

sams_cafe @ 6:03pm: I have this weird thing, ok, I don't like to be away from home after dark.

It's not that I'm afraid of the dark or I think the Creepy People only come out at night, because Creepy People often accost me in the middle of the goddamn afternoon. I think, though I can't be certain, that it comes from never having strayed very far from home as a kid. Even as a teenager I never had a curfew because I never needed one -- the times I was out after dinnertime were so rare that we negotiated them on a case-by-case basis. I had to be home; Mum was in classes most nights, and there was Bernard to look after, dinner to make, homework to do.

I get this terrible sense that if I'm away from home or out of touch for too long, something terrible will happen. Granted, I have my cellphone, which is rarely more than ten feet from my body, but what if something at home catches on fire, or my flat is robbed, or some Awful Thing happens?

I've been trying to push off from this a bit, because there's no reason I shouldn't be out at night; I live alone, I make sure my home is safe, and I have my phone. But I still get this scary sense of urgency, even tonight when all I was doing was going a couple of blocks out of my way to pick up some food for dinner. I had to force myself to slow down, for one, and also to go past my normal turning and onwards to the shop, rather than chickening out and bolting for the El.

It might not be terribly helpful that while I was cost-comparing some mushrooms in the grocery store someone rammed me with a shopping cart and, because I have no sense of balance, I went over sideways in front of the tomatoes.

Some days a monastery looks awfully appealing.

eeyore9990 @ 9:50am: Wheee!
I just submitted the last of my official fest fics for the holiday season. One day early, whoot! I still have a few pinch hits due throughout December, but it feels good to have the "official" stuff out of the way. And one of the pinch hits is at about 75% complete, so yay!

Today is going to be jam-packed with RL-ness, though, so hopefully I can carve out time tonight to finish THAT fic and then get started on the next one.

I can't believe everything starts posting tomorrow! It seems like I've been waiting forever (and/or praying for deadlines to not approach so quickly). Okay, so if you want to catch my fics, they will be posted throughout December on the following communities/asylums:

• harry_holidays
• daily_deviant's Kinky Kristmas
• snapelyholidays
• snarry_swap
• severus_lucius's Romance Fest
• happy_trekmas

And... I think that's it? There'll also be a couple of my fics in the Severus Shorts Birthday Celebration.

Anyway YAY! Holiday fest season, whooooooooot!! What will y'all be following?

sams_cafe @ 6:21pm: REMEMBERED ONE!

So, R went to his 10 year high school reunion on Friday night. He kind of had to, since as the class president he organised it. I missed mine, which is just as well since I've no real desire to return to high school. He said it was fine, a little weird, and that someone had assembled a photo montage...

R: There were a lot of pictures of me.
Sam: Were you the prom king? You were totally the prom king.
R: Yeah, I was.
Sam: Class president, star football player, prom king...god, you were the guy I hated in high school.
R: And don't think I wasn't very conscious of that. I thought about wearing a hat.
Sam: To protect yourself from thrown things?
R: To hide how bald I am.

Poor lad. He's very sensitive about how much more forehead he has now.

Also, I am watching the new Doctor Who animated cartoon, "Dreamland", and I have to say I'm enjoying it way more than I have the last few live action episodes in the franchise. I'd feel guilty about this, but frankly it's nice not to be clenching in anticipation of someone's horrible death.

sams_cafe @ 1:05pm: I went over to R's yesterday afternoon, to hang out and watch the Notre Dame-Stanford game and eat lots of takeaway. We had a good time, but if there were any especially quotable moments I've forgotten them. We also watched a film called Kandahar, about an Afghani journalist returning to Afghanistan after years of absence to try and find her sister, who sent her a letter saying she would kill herself during the next solar eclipse. The journalist has three days to get from the Iranian border to Kandahar to save her sister, traveling incognito under a burka.

R fell asleep about halfway through and I finally gave up when the significant pauses between characters and the incredibly repetitive dialogue got to be too much for me. He texted me this morning to ask if I survived it and I told him no. Apparently you never get to see if the journalist makes it to Kandahar to save her sister. On the one hand I get it: the journey, the experience of Afghanistan under the Taliban, is the important message. On the other hand, seriously, that was a really boring film with no apparent climax or denoument. I'm positive there are better ways to document the cultural wealth and material poverty of Afghanistan.

ANYWAY. This post is just to say that I haven't fallen off the face of the Earth.

I will admit that the peanut-butter-and-apple pie tastes better the day after it was cooked; apparently it really needs to be served cold.

I have to go back to work tomorrow. I like my job and all, but I really like staying in and watching movies while eating mediocre pie, too.

icarusancalion @ 1:03pm: SGA Santa
Uh-oh.

My requestee for sga_santa requested a rarepair which I couldn't resist.

And it's ending up with a totally different rarepair in the final scene. Shit.

Any volunteers for a beta? I've been chopping at this fic rather ruthlessly trying to solve quite a few problems.
