Fic Search
Does anyone remember the title or author of that fic series where Spike has a pet flying snake that was not at all borrowed from Alan Dean Foster's Flinx series?

Still too damned hot
BUT THE FLOOR IS FINISHED.
I left my phone at work on Friday, so I can't post pictures yet. But it looks really good.
We disassembled the entertainment center Saturday morning - Kathy had taken everything off/out of it over the previous week. We laid the tiles, went out grocery shopping, and when we got back I made a peach/blueberry pie to use up ( Read more... ) -
In which it is no longer QUITE so hot
Still considerably hotter than normal, though. Supposed to get up to 108 this week. We got more tile done this last weekend. The last part is going to be tricky, because we'll have to move Ma-San's kitty fortress, and that will freak her out.
Costco had a bunch of citrus trees of various kinds this week, and they finally had the stripey pink ( Read more... ) -

Flops feebly into a chair

So we have to move the furniture out of one corner, lay the tile, wait for it to dry, grout the tile, wait for ( Read more... ) -
Would you vote for ________ even if s/he wasn't a baby-eating slime monster from the planet Zorg?
We've been getting phone calls of late from a local market research firm (I looked it up and confirmed that it is indeed a local market research firm; their office is practically next door to my current place of employment) conducting what I am betting is internal polling for the Republican party. The questions range from the usual partisan "Biden ( Read more... ) -
Dreams
Last night I dreamed that I was at some kind of sf/fantasy convention, taking part in a writing workshop. We were given a starting setup for a story, and we had to finish it within twenty-four hours. The setup was that Wesley Wyndam-Pryce and Spike had disappeared, or been captured, and Buffy and Faith had to find or rescue them. The setup had ( Read more... ) -
Ow
After the Incident of the Niece's Stuff, I re-packed all of said Stuff in plastic bins, because we were going to have to keep it on the back porch, and on the slim chance that we got any rain this sorry excuse for a monsoon season, I did not want it getting damaged. And a good thing I did, because last Thursday we got the first and so far only ( Read more... ) -
Huh
DW's latest code push seems to have broken my journal's style. Rats. I'm going to have to poke around in years-old custom CSS that I've totally forgotten the purpose of and see if I can fix it. Or try a new style. :P
