( 2009 fics by fandom )

Right, okay, here's the deal. Every year I say I'm going to send out holiday cards, and every year I fail miserably at it. (This also goes for gifts I say I'm about to mail but which are probably all still sitting in my house. Oy.)

But guess what?

:D :D :D

Comments are screened and I've got my writin' hand all ready to go. I SWEAR TO G.O.B., THIS YEAR IS THE YEAR!

EDITED TO ADD
If you have one of these posts, let me know where to go!

La la la typical Monday work bullshit.

Is it too early to be staring off into space and daydreaming about all my lovely vacation time that starts in 11 work days?

Hmm. It's probably also too early to try to figure out how much of a tax refund I might get.

Dammit.

Has anyone read any good fic lately? I've just gone on a re-read of some of annakovsky's older stuff, and some Spock/Uhura to boot. Ooh speaking of, would kill for some TOS!Spock/Uhura or !Spock/Chapel. Shit I'll take anything Chapel related.

I think Eric Clapton might be the homeliest rock star ever. Seriously. I'm looking at these old pictures from the Cream era and he looks like his face is melting under his giant sunglasses.

Wait, sorry, I forgot about KISS and David Bowie's original teeth. Never mind!

This fascinating entry brought to you by waiting for my lunch to finish warming up.

I love all ridiculously self-indulgent navel-gazing song intros by Bruce "Bossinheimer Jones" Springsteen, especially when he talks about what dicks he and his father were when he was a kid.

That is all.

Oh except that this last.fm multi-artist radio station for Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson & George Harrison is my favorite thing of the week. Well, that and all the other multi-artist stations I've had on recently (&Patti; + Neko + Elvis Perkins *_______*)

Okay now that is all.

I just saw a blurry picture of thenewno2 on that last.fm radio slideshow thingy and I swear to God I thought Dhani was George for a full thirty seconds.

I'm trying to get caught up on HIMYM and, did this show always have a laugh track? I feel like it didn't. Which is pretty weird because I'm sure they didn't just randomly add one in season 5.

Mind. Blown.

Also that's probably a good sign that it's not as good this year, yes? :(

I wonder why I don't have an icon for this show.

You know what's really fun? Being in charge of the turkey-making when you normally do everything in your power to never touch raw meat. Thank god for the existence of paper towels and this thing.

Don't mind me, just making a post with my recipes so I don't have to hunt when the next holiday rolls around.

( turkey, 2nd best ever )

( winter squash casserole thing )

( easy pull-apart rolls )

( mama stamberg's cranberry relish )

for leftovers:
pot pie cups

for new years:
ham + sauerkraut, potatoes, onion

One of these years I hope the lesson that I really shouldn't eat an entire plate full of stuffing will actually stick.

Picked up two new family celebrity nicknames this week. These typically come about when my dad tries to remember someone's actual name and doesn't quite manage it, but occasionally are inspired while watching some craptacular movie. (see also: Carpaccio DiCreepio, Hailey Bailey, Brimford Wimbley, Scary Oldman, &c)

Pudgy Muttonface,
aka Mr Muttonhands
aka Shut Up Don't Talk About My Future Husband Like That
aka I Feel Like Maybe We Shouldn't Call Him Mutton- Because It Seems Anti-Scottish
aka Or Anti-Sheep


IDEK.

And fyi The Ugly Truth is a really craptacular movie. On the plus side, it's reminded us that we need to watch Craig Ferguson's hairstylist movie again.

Can I use this icon on every post between now and Christmas? WHY YES I THINK I CAN.

I always forget how much downtime there is on Thanksgiving. Dad and Honorary Uncle are playing Wii and/or bullshitting, Sister is ill and asleep, I'm cooking the last of the side dishes and hoping the turkey (my first solo turkey!) is okay, Mom is ... I don't know what she's doing actually. I should probably check.

Hope you're all well and happy today, flist, even if you don't celebrate the Annual American Festival of Overeating.

And welcome back, Santa Bruce! :D

I really need to get my reading lists under control. I just spent ten minutes clicking on various filters to find just one comm. The name of which I cannot remember and which I still have not found. :|

Hope you all have a lovely Thanksgiving and/or Thursday tomorrow (today? Y halo thar Australia & New Zealand!) and if it is Turkey Day for you that you get to eat your favorite dishes. Yay carbs!

That's dishes as in food, not dishes as in plates. Unless you're Cookie Monster, in which case you should go for it om nom nom.

Let's pretend that this is actually farewell for the holiday and that I won't be bored and spammy all day tomorrow. :D :D :D

CARL SAGAN IS MY BOYFRIEND.

That is all.

I just want you all to know that I fired up last.fm radio just now and picked a friend-radio-stream thing at random. It was howtoswim's and the first song?

OH THE YEAR WAS 1778

♥

ETA
UGH WTF DID I DO TO MY THEME LAYER TO ERASE MY PAGE NAMES >:(

I worked from home today, which actually meant that I passed out in bed at two and didn't get up again until five. Yay?

Also just freaked out because I need a shower and dinner, in that order, and thought that BBT was on at eight and I wouldn't have enough time. More sleep would be of the good.

Another new fic, because I can't stop. It's also a fanmix! Oh my god, I made a fanmix.

& what should never be; 1600 words; R; Penny/Sheldon
prequel/sequel thing for Warm Gulf Wind

Tiny covers:

Posted two ficlets and a monster 20k fic this week:

Kafka, Schmafka
PG; 20,000 words in two parts; Penny/Sheldon, Howard, Missy, Raj, Leonard
Total, utter crackfic with accidental plot. \o/

Raj made a strangled noise and pointed at Howard's back where two lumps were visible under the purple and black stripes of his sweater, just above the familiar protrusions of his bony shoulder blades. Howard reached for the plug end of the power cable, pulling the sweater tight across his narrow back. When he did, the lumps twitched and wiggled like something alive was trapped under the fabric.

ERROR!
PG; 325 words; Sheldon
Post-ep for the 3x08 drabblethon on sheldon_penny

(she is clearly in no mood to hear about the usefulness of rain protection vis-à-vis aquatic birds but the entire situation seems to have been recreated in its entirety from unguarded moments he cannot deal with while she is naked and wet and helpless; when taken all together it momentarily short-circuits at least four major functions of his thought processes)

untitled
G; 265 words; Community ensemble
Just playing with their voices to see if I want to do more in this fandom

Pierce Hawthorne was a self-made man, a true American success story. Like Bill Gates. Or PT Barnum. Or those oil guys with the big hats.

And I don't know if I've mentioned it, but OMFG &COMMUNITY; *_______* I want Troy & Abed & Señor Chang to just be hilarious at me every week.

julie_reads: Wouldn't it be awesome if you could send your pets out to run errands for you?
ishie: (looking at Cat B) Will you go buy me some socks?
julie_reads: Um, she'd come back with a hammer and a burrito.

And then she watched a Bruce Springsteen video and did all the same faces he was making. Like this:

:| :( :( :| >:| >:( :( :| :o >:o

It's kind of amazing how little has changed since we were kids.

I'm done pretending I write any fandoms other than BBT at this point and I'm surprisingly okay with that.

Newest fic!
It's Been One Week; PG13; Penny/Leonard & Penny/Sheldon; written pre-last night's ep & was based on promo spoilers but holds up pretty well I think. I hope!

By Tuesday, Sheldon had apparently decided to unilaterally ban all round or spherical fruits, vegetables, and baked goods from the apartment, except for any cookie deliveries that might come from his mom or meemaw.

Jesus, I really need to sort out what else I have due before the end of the year. Have I flailed yet about my Yuletide assignment? Because I freaking love my Yuletide assignment now that the initial wave of OMG PANIC has receded!

FYI I WILL NEVER STOP LISTENING TO GARTH BROOKS AGAIN BECAUSE I FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVE HIM.

PLEASE EXCUSE THE NOISE YOU HEAR. IT IS JUST ME FREAKING THE FUCK OUT OVER BIG BANG THEORY TONIGHT.

♥_♥

I still don't have a single clue about how it's supposed to be helpful but if anyone wants to connect on Google Wave, I'm ljishie there.

:D?

( Dear Yuletide Santa )


Oh god, ♥♥♥, I am so excited for this I can't even tell you. Can't wait to see what you do!
