Current pet hate...
Avengers fanfic wherein Peter Parker is (somehow) Clint Barton and Phil Coulson's son. Drives me up the bloody wall. -

Thanks for encouraging me to hop on the scales, azziria!
I have lost 3lb since I last braved the scales about two month ago (and probably more if you consider how much of Lucas's birthday cake I ate), and am now finally back to 42 lb or 3 stone lost. So I am now back to the same weight as I was in May, before Clot-Gate. It's a shame that my leg isn't as ( Read more... ) -

Oh, LJ... I have been lurching from one health problem to another. It's getting both tiring and annoying.
Currently I am having lots of pain in my left foot. I have a horrible limp, and the constant throb is ruining my sleep. Had an x-ray last week to see if there are any stress fracture(s), so I guess we'll go from there. The only positive is ( Read more... ) -

Just introduced Lucas to The Fellowship of the Ring. As ever, I dissolved into tears at poor Boromir's death.
I think I'll probably cheer myself up tonight with some Viggo/Bean. -

The banana cheesecake, you'll be pleased to hear, came out really well. The base isn't soggy, so I have no idea why there was still water leaking from the tin when I opened it? -

Ugh.
It's amazing the things that eat away at you, even though they're utterly ridiculous.
Today is "Wear it pink day" at school, to raise money for a breast cancer charity in the UK. Lucas really didn't want to wear anything pink (on account of him being a boy, y'see) but begrudgingly put on a pair of pink socks and his uniform. He was okay with ( Read more... ) -
Last night's TV (well, TiVo)
I watched the first ep of Arrow last night.
I've been highly sceptical about this show (ie I bitched my ass off), but it was really, really good! Within a minute I'd turned to Dave and said, "This looks like Green Arrow: Year One". And it is. In both the look and the tone. It isn't afraid to be... harsh. Ollie's fighting style works for me, ( Read more... ) -
Things I am liking (and looking forward to)
glammetalkitten was saying on Twitter that she missed the Good Old Days of LiveJournal when our friends lists were buzzing with posts, fannish glee and fic. You know what? I do, too! So I thought I'd at least post and say so. And maybe talk about some geeky things and entice her back...
I have seriously fallen behind in my comic reading. I am pissed off at DC ( Read more... ) -
Snowflake challenge: Day 9
"It's a common misconception, Ray," Fraser says, standing at parade rest, looking earnestly at me. "The Inuit simply do not have hundreds of words for snow. I mean, really... snow is, well, snow."
"There's no smoke without fire, Fraser, old buddy."
"Smoke? Why would there be smoke, Ray? The snow would simply melt..."
"I swear to God, Fraser. Stop ( Read more... ) -

Here's an updated picture of my Dalek cross stitch. I can't believe that it's been almost a year since I started it! Wonder if I can get itfinished by the 29th?
