Just so you all know, I've spent 4 hours writing tonight.

Looks like the movie has given me some good mojo.

Feels good. :)

*blows dust off journal* Well, hello!

I've been lurking of late, spending some time on MySpace and being busy with things like Holiday cards, baking and shopping.

I got nuthin' to say aside from that.

Oh! Look what some lovely person wrote for me! Observation, a Neville/Ginny fic that is actually HOT. Wow.

Hopefully I'll feel more verbose later. Right now holiday stress, work and family drama leaves me so drained that everything else has kind of fallen by the wayside.

*hugs to you all*

Welp, bad news. In the PC migration, I managed to lose half of chapter 7 of ANIP. *headdesk, infinity*

Goddamnit!

I'm working to salvage it as best I can. My goal is to have it finished and posted before the beginning of July.

Usual suspects beta readers, are you available for slicing and dicing in June? Anyone else?

Wow, it's been almost two years since I updated this fic. Not for lack of inspiration, just time and energy.

Off to rejoin the world of active hacks!

Watching I Love The 80s 3D. My love for Wil Wheaton knows no bounds. We're going to have to discuss those sideburns, though.

Saw Stay yesterday. It was...okay. I like my psychological thrillers to have a more coherent ending. Ewan almost made up for that. :>

I'm almost in as much anticipation for Syriana and Walk The Line as I am for GoF. Oh, and Brokeback Mountain. Jarhead, too. All that Jake Gyllenhaal....

I have a long list of pseudo-interesting things I ought to write about in this journal, but I'd rather post blather.

Work has been...work. Rainbow has been...work, lately. Writing has been coming along, surprisingly. I actually considered nanowrimo for about 0.000001 seconds before I came to my senses. Not a serious writer am I.

I've been gorging myself in my other fandom - Jane Austen. Amazingly good fanfic. Also reading some Lost fanfic, although I'm a little surprised at the lack of safe sex (I mean, they're on an island with limited resources; you'd think Kate/Shannon/Sun would be more worried...okay, okay, it's fanfic, I get it).

If you haven't read gmth's beta requests III, well, you're missing out.

So much with the randomness, so little with the coherence.

Hot rec for you Snarry fans out there:  Paint It Black by tarie.  Ron's in there too.  Hot, wow.  Totally not kid/work safe; best read late at night when you can squirm around in your chair without rousing suspicion.  :>

Heck, head over to Diagon Alley and read all of Tarie's fics.  Then review, of course.

Went to Buca di Beppo for father's day...except my dad was a no-show.  I'm not really upset about it - if he doesn't want to spend time with his family, that's his perogative.  Me, I never miss an opportunity for a good meal!  :)  My BIL is a future father, so we met criteria (same thing happened on mother's day, but my sister wasn't showing at the time, and my mom is long dead).  Both times, the servers seemed relieved to deal with "regular" customers on two of the most horrible days to be in the service industry.

In other news, I've really gotten into the show Kept.  It's different from most reality TV because the "star" doesn't do much interacting with the glory-seekers.  No hot tub scenes, no skin, just a bunch of guys trying to get over on each other.  Ego-bashing & petty arguments v. funny.  I'm rooting for Austin or Anwar - they might not be the most handsome, but they certainly are the most mature of the bunch.  Now, I just need to remember to watch...

Damn Tom Cruise and his beard antics!  I really don't want to see War of the Worlds now, just so I don't have to look at his leering, Scientolgist face.  >:O

Tagging entries is addictive.  Tags are love.

Other than ravenclawgrrl's few ficlets, I do not have an extensive list of good Arthur/Molly fics.

Anyone know of well-written, rated Arthur/Molly?  Anyone?

Oh, and Lost?  I'm so about the Charlie/Hurley love.  Please help.  O.o

I swear, it's my angsty mood-of-d00m posts that are the most embarrassing, forget posting while drunk.  Just ignore me, kthx.

But HUGE thanks for the virtual hugs.  I needed those, big time.

I watched Trekkies 2 the other day.  And wow, that Gabe turned out to be almost cute.  Almost normal, too.

I saw Trekkies before I joined the fandom, and while I still regard the hard-core Trekkers a little warily, I had a TOTALLY different reaction to T2.  Now I can see how much of a community it really is, how much people care about each other, and what they can do when they come together.

Cool.

Oh, and if you've not been through the latest posts at erotic_elves, let me point out two great pieces of Trio-fic:

Mental That One and The Emotional Range of a Teaspoon, both by argyle_s. 

They made me do a little happy dance of joy.  :)

( random thoughts on eating )

OH NOES!  1anonymous1 just showed me this.  BEST COMM EVAR.  Maybe they can tell me how to overcome my addiction to awful, terrible, legal entertainment!  And tell me how I'm contributing to rape and kiddy porn, yay! 

Ah, that makes my day, I tells ya.

Anyone available to beta the next chapter of A Night in Paris for me? George/Hermione, mainly looking for style/continuity. It's about 7000 words.

Comment and I'll send it to you. Thanks!

Hee! It's done! Now I can work on the gazillion other things I've got going. :D
