For those who don't know, my dog Clara is the most energetic, pestiferous, pushy, bratty, annoying, trouble-making little knee-high creature I have ever encountered. She makes up for it by also being the most loving and affectionate animal I have ever known.

I was on a run with the dogs today when a passerby stopped me and asked to meet them. This ( Read more... )

Happy Christmas, friends!

I got a fantastic Magids fic for Yuletide! And books and t-shirts and workout equipment and candy and coffee for Christmas!

Also, I made M. a Doctor Who scarf (my sister-in-law made the Tardis cross-stitch in the photo), which is finally finished! Well, it still needs a fringe, but the body of the scarf is done.

I got to see ( Read more... )

I have both! I'm going back to crossposting to both for now. If we have each other friended one place but not the other, let's fix that! (And if I don't have you friended at all and you'd like me to, drop a comment!)

I don't feel like talking about the politics of all this just now, because I've had a difficult couple of ( Read more... )

Six months later, I've finally finished Fortune and Fate. Yay!

( thoughts. spoilers. i like it. )

And why do all the Enterprise-D crewmembers have sons rather than daughters, anyway? There's Wesley and Alexander, plus Troi and Picard each have a one episode "son." The only exception is Data's one episode positronic child, who chooses to be a human female.

So possibly I need to write fic in which Geordi's ex is assigned to the enterprise and ( Read more... )

Have I mentioned my love for lentils? I love lentils.

Let me tell you about this thing I've been eating for dinner this week.

• box of whole wheat pasta (14 to 16 oz)
• can (28 oz?) of Progresso lentil soup (which is too highly salted for me to want to eat on its own)
• smaller can (16 oz?) of not-very-interesting tomato sauce/spaghetti sauce
• 3 cups total ( Read more... )

What I was going to say on Friday:

DAMMIT, SELF, STAY AWAY FROM THE FREAKING SPOILER THREADS.

Ahem.

I picked the wrong time to go poke the Mastiff board at Goldenlake. Now I'm two-thirds of the way through the book, spoiled, distressed, and too tired to finish reading tonight.

Also my knee hurts.

Now that it's Monday, I've been finished with Mastiff for ( Read more... )

As I just said in a comment on q_sama's journal, MY BRAIN IS ALL MASTIFF ALL THE TIME! I expect to finish it by Saturday and then I can return to Pierce fandom with all my flailing and commentary. :D

Well, also part of my brain is mega-ridiculous-work-stress with a side of, "dammit, why did I schedule myself to go in for one day in the middle of my time ( Read more... )

Post fic-exchange season, it may be necessary for me to write some Geordi and Data fic. Or Geordi/Data. Regardless, there will be one about Geordi attempting to train Data's cat. BECAUSE. PET!FIC IN SPACE.

Relatedly, guess who just got the whole entire series of TNG at 70% off from Amazon.com's pre-Black Friday sale? Awwwwww yeah!
