    Linkses!
    Short one today. First of all, marmots! How can you not like marmots? Everyone likes marmots. We like deer and we like marmots and we like all the fluffy animals and we really like the moon. ;)

    There is now a mouse designed specifically for use with OpenOffice. I am intrigued but feel I wouldn't use half the functionality.

    Many of you may be familiar with Failblog. Well, now there's a blog detailing the opposite - Succeedblog! There are some truly impressive feats in there, although in some cases, I do have to ask why?

    ION, someone's found a mandrake!

    This is really clever and yet disturbing - Face Paint artist from Michigan paints his face to look like the members of Kiss, octopi and a dog's arse. Um. Yes. It's good, but it's not right! Not for the face paint phobic, that.

    Everyone's got a Twitter now, and now even Big Ben's got one. Nifty but a tad repetitive, I feel.

    Daily Fail's current poll is more leading than even I'd expect. Should female MPs be allowed to employ cleaners on expenses? Well, yes obviously. Get in there and skew it, my friends. :)

    And finally! Got kids? Worship the Elder Gods? Want to make sure the kids grow up in your footsteps (or flipper tracks or tentacle trails, depending on just how far you've gone with it)?

    Look no further. Let this educational video assist you. The Adventures of Lil' Cthulhu. I feel it lays the finer points of the mythos out quite adequately. :)

    Snarry art?
    This feels like a stupid question to ask, but I know many here on IJ loves Snarry stuff.

    Anyway, my stupid question is: Where is the best place to post Snarry artwork?

    I know LJ has many comm for Drarry art, but if I'm not mistaken, most Snarry lovers are here on IJ, right? The reason I'm asking is because there is a fantastic artist I know on LJ and I'd like her to post her work where it can get the most recognition.

    Thanks!

    Snape's career choices sans Voldemort
    I've been wondering lately what Snape would have done with his life had he not come under the influence of Voldemort. I doubt he'd have gone into teaching at all. But it occurred to me that we really are not shown such a lot of choice of career in the wizarding world, and this is probably because of the fact that Harry is concentrating on other more pressing matters during his years at Hogwarts. But the Ministry seems to be the big employer, with a few other bits and pieces such as dress shops (Madame Malkin's), inn-keepers (Tom and Rosmerta), Borgin and Burkes, Ollivanders, etc. None of which I can really see Snape working in (although there's a few Snapefen I imagine who wouldn't mind him measuring us up for a new dress at Madame Malkin's LOL!)

    I'd love to know of other options the members here might come up with for a satisfying career for Severus. I've written one fic "Back to Basics" where he abandons the wizarding world and lives out his life amongst the Muggles, running a string of naturopathy shops. Of course he'd be successful since his potions would work!

    But that then gave rise to another question: would magic potions work on Muggles? We see Mr Weasely in hospital not responding at all well to stitches after Nagini attacked him, so I wondered if the same held true for Muggles' response to potions.

    I look forward to the birth of plot bunnies!

    My first real "weekend" since the end of September.

    All the month of October, my boss at the apartment complex decided to take all the Fridays off as vacation time. I support her doing this since working full time at the apartment complex is very stressing and all our residents or at least a majority of them, are completely insane. Anyway, since M. took Fridays off, that means I've been working those days for her. That means for all of October, I've been working six days a week. Great paycheck, but not enough time off from work.

    And this past Thursday and Friday has been my first weekend in a month. :) I'm feeling very good.

    Went out to dinner at his Italian restaurant earlier this evening to celebrate my friend's b-day. The food was fantastic and pricey. Next week we'll be hitting a club to go dancing.

    Today was also my Daddy's b-day. Too bad he had to work, otherwise, I'd have taken him out for lunch or something.

    Took the baby monster to get her H1N1 vaccination this morning. Waited an hour and a half in line. She said it smelled like chocolate. How freakin' cool is that!? :D

    Then we hit up the bookstore (got her Ladybug Girl and Bumblebee Boy - cute story), and the Jamba Juice next door. The drinks were good like they always are, but the sandwich wrap wasn't anything to brag about.

    Cleaned out my car since it was a nice day (and like any good packrat, crap had been piling up in my car). All that's left is to take it down to the car wash.

    Star Trek Big Bang Fic: Diamonds, a Club, and a Couple of Hearts
    Title: Diamonds, a Club, and a Couple of Hearts
    Author: Flora ([info]florahart)
    Artist/Mixer: [info]elanorofcastile
    Beta(s): Several people have read bits and parts; [info]lauriegilbert has been the most involved culler of commas and shortener of sentences (half of which I defied her about anyway).
    Series: Reboot/ST XI
    Characters/Pairings: primary pairing is Kirk/McCoy; however, there is a Kirk/Gaila scene and Spock/Uhura and Pike/Number One are referenced.
    Rating: NC17
    Warnings: mostly just smut (het and slash), AU.
    Word Count: ~23,500
    Summary: Jim Kirk is a hotshot new shortstop in the Constitution League. His team is young, but they have a lot of potential, and oh by the way, the team doctor? Is hot.
    Notes: Written for [info]startrekbigbang. Baseball AU in which all the characters are human, and the setting is some nonspecific time between now and 2258. Lots of nods to various baseball movies mashed up with lots of moments from/rearrangements of ST XI. Lots of other nods to things from the Trek canon (of any timeframe/reality) and para-canon, such as character names and backgrounds. Concept is [info]inell's fault.

    Things to do instead of writing:
    Tonight, instead of writing, I went to see a local community theater production of Equus. I went with the Mr, [info]sartori19 and his female counterpart. It was excellently done, extremely disturbing. The young man who played Alan and the gentleman who played the psychiatrist outdid everyone else in the cast except for the young man who played Nugget the horse.

    I am going to have some seriously jacked-up dreams tonight.

    And tomorrow afternoon, instead of writing, I'm going to pay someone to put a new hole in my head. Because, clearly, I need it. I'm going with a couple of co-workers (one my age, another who just turned 50). Just remind me that I'm not going there to get a new tattoo. There will be pictures and Twittering.

    But for now, I'm going to do some writing. I need to Rally this weekend to catch up and get a lead, and it might be a good idea to make a dent in that word mountain now.

    Also, I need a new default icon. Thoughts?

    Every Weeping Cock Has Its Day
    MY POST IS NSFW.

    But first, a Word Count update! \o/





    And now, because you've all been indulging me lately, a tasty snippet.


    "Malfoy…Draco? Your cock it's…" Harry smirked, swiping his thumb over the wet head. Malfoy's hips jerked beneath him. "It's crying. It's crying tears of sperm."

    A pillow smacked him in the face, and Harry fell over laughing.

    "I abhor you, Potter," Malfoy grunted into the mattress.

    Harry only laughed harder.


    Now, to cut this or not to cut this. That is the question.

    evening out
    This evening the lovely [info]alisanne was in town, so we met up for dinner and tea and much chatter of fandom and other topics.  It was quite a nice time. 
    Now I must prepare for my weekend adventure in Austin, plus try to make some progress on my art coming due.

    First daily_deviant fic!
    So, I put up my first post to [info]daily_deviant. For something I wrote quickly (having been obsessed with A Confusion of Will and Desire for the last two months), I'm pretty happy with it, except for the title, which is lame.

    Title: Lost and Held
    Characters: Sirius, Peter
    Rating: NC-17
    Warnings: Castration, sex, cross-dressing, manipulation
    Themes/kinks chosen: Eunuchs/Castrati, Costumes
    Word Count: ~5,300
    Summary: An accident gives Sirius and Peter a shared secret
    Author's notes: November prompts included the theme "eunuchs/castrati". It's listed in the tags as "castration", which would have been a rather different story. I have been as accurate as possible with the theme, but do not guarantee all details are correct. ;-) Thanks to Clauclauclaudia for very short-notice beta work.

    Link to post

    This one was odd to work on. The themes for November were clamps, costumes, eunuchs/castrati, and symphorophilia (arousal by watching or causing destruction and/or death). "Costumes" didn't really seem like enough to me, and I hate clamps so much that it's hard for me to write about them. Symphorophilia would be easy ... but I wasn't in the mood for something that dark. So I wrote castration because I didn't want to write darkfic. Um....

    Researching physiological details was truly weird. I found support services for castrated men, historical notes on castrati, and quite a lot about self-castration, either for practical reasons or as a one-use-only fetish. o_0

    Writing Sirius/Peter was also weird. I'm generally a Sirius/Remus person.

    This is going to be another one of those fics no one reads, isn't it?

    It's time to nut up, or shut up...
    Okay, so yeah. We went to see Zombieland tonight. I was 500 words shy of daily quota (but am still ahead by nearly half of tomorrow's, thanks to yesterday's push,) and I decided that I wanted a real, grown-up date, with dinner out, and nice drinks, and, apparently, zombies.

    It was laugh out loud, ridiculously funny, that movie. Predictable leik whoa, and probably the closest America will ever get to a zombie movie in league with Sean of the Dead. Zombies come from eating mad cows, apparently. Who knew?

    Look, this movie isn't gonna change anybody's life, but it will make you guffaw at Woody Harrelson fan-humping *Secret Stealth Celebrity Cameo who's name I am withholding*'s leg in an epic geek-out moment. Or the four-gun funeral salute, with pause in the middle to reload the double-barrel. Or the Purel scene. Or the squeaky nose.

    I'm just sayin.

    And I'm also sayin, for a movie in which The Rules Of Survival play such a prominent role, how the HELL is it that when the Hummer rolls up on the gates of Pacific Playland, and pushes gently through as twilight gives way to dusk, Dominus and I were the ones who leaned over to each other and murmured "Rule one: Don't go at night. Rule two: Don't go alone. Rule three: Save the last bullet for yourself." Sadly, none of those rules made an appearance in this film. Though they should have done, as they were all broken at one point or another.

    Still, I believe I will officially add Zombieland's rule two to the list from now on, as it bears keeping in mind.
    Double tap. Always double tap.

    Brain dead, and CSA
    Okay, I'm in not too bad of shape with this assignment, I guess, unless I've woefully misinterpreted what it's supposed to do. The instructions were... terse. But my brain is seriously shutting down, so I'm going to quit working on it for tonight and come back in the morning.

    CSA this week included: daikon, red radishes, turnips, a few little carrots, garlic, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, arugula, turnip greens (in addition to those on the turnips), dandelion greens, and purple beans. [Still around from previous weeks: cherry tomatoes, radishes, daikon, turnips, acorn squash, butternut squash, beets.] Turnip puree again, probably; cook some of the red radishes for SO; plain steamed beans; lettuce salad. I might turn the other greens into a tart (don't have that recipe online yet). I also have a recipe for shrimp with cherry tomatoes and feta (also not online) and have a pound of frozen shrimp, so maybe that (using last week's tomatoes, which are now about ripe).

    Other than that... Taught classes. Got prep done for Monday for both classes. Had a meeting. Dealt with work email. Dictated about 800 words each on two different fics; one for a fest, the other DD. Played some with Juno.

    Now waiting for SO to get home. He'd indicated he was going to try to get home early tonight, but that didn't happen; he decided he really needed to work out since he hadn't all week. Okay, fair enough, and I worked on the assignment meantime. But if he doesn't get back soon, we probably can't have our Friday night date since restaurants around here close pretty dang early even on weekends. So we'll see. There are some leftovers if we end up not doing anything tonight.

Mine was this lovely picture of Harry looking off into the distance, wistfully, with Snape in a dark profile in the background, so I used it as inspiration for this, though I'm not sure it was quite what [info]littleblackbow was envisioning with her art.

    *breathes in then sloooooooooooowly out*
    Wow, OK, hi. This week can go screw itself over on a pointy stick. Like, really. Wow. I've been back from the beach since Sunday morning and have done nothing but work since Tuesday. And that's because I had a holiday on Monday or else it'd have been non-stop work since Monday. And I literally mean non-stop, because I was even working in my sleep. What little sleep I managed to get anyway.

    Anyway, Sunday I took to catch up on all the TV I missed over the week and then Monday I started on my skip-300 flisting spree and managed to get it down to skip=75. Then, I basically... wasn't online pretty much all this week because of all the overtime and all the bringing work home with me and the stormy weather and the power going out and, oh lookit, my flist is back up to skip=200 *flails*

    Speaking of TV, on the way back home (after another hour of overtime at work, oh joy) I watched this week's SYTYCD which my sister downloaded for me because she's a sweetheart when she wants to be and she felt sorry for me heh ( Spoilers for SYTYCD 12 here )

    Still haven't watched this week's SPN or Vamp Diaries. There was no new Glee this week and I don't think White Collar has even aired yet? If it has, the download isn't available yet anyway. Speaking of White Collar, let's talk about it up to last week, yeah? ( Cut for White Collar spoilers )

    Tomorrow I get my hair cut YAY! Not that I'll do any drastic changes to it or anything but it's gotten to the point where it just won't behave *sighs*

    It's the weekend, peoplez! \o/\o/\o/

    Happy, Smiley Poems
    My toes are partially numb but I am in a ridiculously happy mood. Why? I went to see Poe Evermore at the PA Ren. Faire tonight.

    I spent a half an hour silently shipping Irving/Longfellow. Longfellow blew a cork into Irving's ear. Mary Shelly had a mental fit. And Poe cracked jokes about his own stories, and gave us the run down of Pit and the Pendulum and The Fall of the House of Usher in under a minute.

    He also insisted The Stylus would only involve happy, smiley poems.

    Yeah. Yeah, it just was that kind of show.
