Notice - Many of the links in here that were put prior to June 2009 will take you my livejournal fanfic archive. The tags on the side will keep you in dreamwidth and ad-free. Haven't combed through them to see if any formatting was altered, though I guess I'll need to do so for the multichapter fics. Doh.

For multi-post stories, not all posts have been linked here, so use the tags to determine if there's more for any WIP. WIP are only posted to dreamwidth; I only post finished fics to AO3.

I know a few are missing, but after over an hour, this is what we have...Standard disclaimer -- NONE of these shows belongs to me and I'm making ZERO money off of this.

ETA - since links have been changed with the end of frogs_fics, please let me know if there's a broken one.

Ah well, another winter that we know he's alive, warm, and getting fed

Pick up the nearest book to you. Turn to page 45. The first sentence describes your sex life in 2012.

It's one of the burn notice novels, so you know it will be humorous no matter which character it is.

"If he's got cops," Sam said, "I'm a little limited on my sources."

Soooo, was mildly bored and looking for something light to watch. Figured I'd give Fringe a whirl since so many of you talk highly about it.

Yeah, then I bought season 1. Though at least the eps are slow enough paced (at least for now) that I can resist the urge to do major binging.

But oh the dry humor!

I think I've discovered the absolute secret to making kick ass soup - always include a tsp to a tablespoon of bacon grease in the oil mixture used to saute veggies/meat. First the beef stew, now my ham chowder. Mmmmmmm, bacon. :)

Also, I am in love with my new gps unit. I might marry it. (the old one that was perfectly functional started having problems connecting to its power cord to charge). First, the screen is much improved - more like iphone glass screen than the old fashioned lcd touchscreen thing. Which means that it is much more visible when wearing polarized sunglasses in the daylight! So much better to not have to lift my prescription sunglasses and then squint at the screen to try to read a street name!

Second, it came with a traffic subscription. Which means, that when I have to drive home from Northern NJ after a work meeting, it automatically takes me which ever route has less rush hour traffic! I'm sure it's not perfect, but since I was racing the start of rush hour today and managed to beat it, I declare a win! (I'm sure it still has superior ghetto crime neighborhood sensing abilities, because life can't be perfect).

\0/ I finally made a vegetable beef soup that I like! (for some reason, you have no idea how hard this has been. It would be okay the first bowl or so, with added ketchup, but then get rapidly worse). I think adding in extra sugar to counteract the fresh tomatoes was the key. Mmm.

Watched H50 last night. First ep in quite a while I've seen. I think I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion, that like NCIS:LA, I'm breaking up with this show for the forseeable future. Loved the first seasons of both, meh since, but still enjoy what fandom does with it. Cest la vie. We'll see if White Collar can rescue itself from being put into this category this winter.

Drove for 3 hours for a 30 minute meeting. Soooo productive. *rolls eyes* But, on the way back, I bought calendar for home office (Scotland), desk daily calendar gift for boss (Dares for the Office), and coffee beans to try out with my new grind and brew coffee maker I bought this weekend. My old 4 cup inherited from B had started getting cracks in the plastic etc. So I figured it was time to grow up, and buy a 12 cup maker. Plus, gold tone filter.

OMG, it's cold outside. I mean, I shouldn't complain about having an Okie winter in NJ, but wow, 28 degrees all day long w/ wind chill that makes it feel like 18 is ever so harsh after months of 40 and 50 degree weather during the daytime. I didn't even have to ever really walk very far, and had on my wool coat, and I was freezing!!! Who's up for a fandom commune in Maui?

I think I want more soup. :)

Perhaps all this is 2011's way of reminding myself I need to take better care of health now, cause otherwise the being completely lax is going to become a permanent habit with really bad consequences.

Also, apologies for all the health/headache crap, but wow, I want to get this figured out.

( undercut now )

ION, I'm mostly current on vampire diaries now.

Got hit with the same type of headache as what I had last friday. Did the exact same thing of start with muscle above the ear and ache in side and back of my head that spread down my neck, though this time there was also lovely sinus pain in the front on that side as well. Caffeine, food, and aleve did nothing. Took a claritin and that didn't see to help either. Definitely not a blood pressure headache, doesn't feel like an allergy migraine, especially as there was nothing the same that I ate last week and this week other than oatmeal (and if it was that, surely I'd be having them more frequently). Weather was changing....if this is the new weather migraine, i DO NOT WANT. Today, feel the same "hangover" that I felt last week combined with a bit of pain in the other side of the head (though nowhere near as severe). And really, this is the only type of headache I've had that well and truly comes accompanied by honest to goodness nausea. If I'm getting the migraines like my mom used to get when I was a kid, i DO NOT WANT. I now understand her feeling of "pain such that it seems like it must feel better if i did go ahead and throw up".

Really, I have enough going on that I don't need weird cluster headaches or whatever this is. It can knock it off.

Uggh. So, I'll be working this weekend to make up for the time I was just staring at the tv in pain yesterday when trying to wfh.

So, I got SW:TOR by preorder, but life worked out such that I never got to play during beta testing or early launch. And then the first time I did play, my connection kept booting me every 5 minutes regardless of server.

Finally figured out that I needed to reset my wireless router and that fixed things...for better or worse. BEcause it's definitely the most addictive game I've played in a long while (and no, I'm not doing the actual mmo portion and mostly doing it as a single player). Pretty much > 24 hours of playing as smuggler and I still haven't managed to even complete part 1 or recover my ship yet (or clean my apartment in RL).

It's a little buggy with my biggest gripe being when you are in safe areas, the entire thing seems to slow down horribly when actually in area trying to find trainers etc (especially once you get on to ships). Of course, leveling up is something I've always had the least patience with any game too.

Okay, now, I have to go to bed at a somewhat decent hour since I have to get up and go back to work tomorrow.

ION, between migraine on friday to the point that I had twitchy muscles on my head the next day (and left over headache), finally decided that yes, this low level ear infection is screwing with my head more than I thought. So started taking my antiobiotics of gold (aka 130 bucks for a corn free compound), and after 2 doses, felt a ton better even though I reduced the claritin D at the same time (and haven't cleaned). Beginning to think that between house, a few things in my diet, and then not having gotten rid of the entire infection on the first round, my body just wasn't happy the last few months.

Okay, bed time. Hope everyone had a lovely holiday weekend.

Gaaah. We've proven without a doubt that I'm much more mellow when I ignore the news. However, when out of the loop and tuning back in, that level of mellowness quickly turns to apoplexy

Due to bond and derivative deal funding (as well as bribes), leaves one municipal works department on verge of bankruptcy Service has already been cut off to a number of outlying areas, and folks in poor areas find it cheaper to buy bottles water for hygiene than to pay their water and sewer bill. But, remember folks, capitalism and deregulation works just because it outlasted communism!

But it's too difficult to prosecute bankers and investment firms

And if we didn't know it from the 1920s and the recession in the 70/80s, Europe has been proving for past 2 years that austerity won't end a recession or grow jobs But hey, it probably means there's no money left over to prosecute bankers and investment firms, or enforce tax laws on the 1% and all those corporate citizens, so who cares, right?

But I got to sit around this weekend hearing my mother and a cousin going on about how horrible it is that people who drive Cadillacs get food stamps or welfare. As if you could survive in the middle of the country without a car.

The only renewable source of energy I know of: the hot air and idiocy of politicians and policy makers. Talk about the definition of insanity
