How hard is it to predict the weather, really???

I'm sorry, when they could predict the path of tornadoes down to a five mile radius in oklahoma 10 years ago, there's no excuse for this.

It was supposed to be sunny and 47 today. No prediction of precipitation.

So why was it colder than hell during my walk to work and spitting flurries at me??

Oh, that's right, this weekend is the one the gods laugh at me.

I realized when I got to work that I forgot to freeze my tubes on friday from my experiment and instead left them at 65 for about 36 hrs too long. *bangs head*

Hmmm, maybe I'm not intelligent enough for that PhD after all...

So I posted about the experiment snafu from friday.

My blondeness gets worse and seems to be snowballing.

There was the not noticing that my refrigerator didn't close all the way and spoiling all my food last night. Which was discovered this morning.

Then I left my cell phone at home when I went to work today. Normally, not a big deal. Normally. Right now though, I think it might be best if I just call for directions to find my front door the way this weekend is going.

So I finish my experiment up, right? And I'd borrowed the spiffy ultlra special repeating pipet from B, so I needed to return it to him (especially since he thinks he's not going to work tomorrow since he's working 12+ hrs today). So I called and made sure he was still at work. He said, "fine, but come on up to the 7th floor and I'll let you in" since my electronic key doesn't have access to the floors on the new building.

( Okay, take a trip with me to see B. )

Really, if this blondeness doesn't go away and stop affecting my day to day activities, I'm just going to stop getting out of bed until it does. It'll be safer. Because at this point, I don't know if I'm bright enough to be allowed to use a hairdryer, let alone play with toxic chemicals.

Holy...

Or maybe unholy

SPN rec journal/communities --- not exhaustive

So, here's the deal, alethialia asked for pimps to good SPN rec journals. I knew of a couple when I went and did a search a while back, so I decided to be a bit more thorough and actually make a post about it.

*This is not exhaustive, rather it is what I can easily determine from LJ search and then also the summaries off of several reccing the reccers lists. If I left off what you consider to be a penultimate SPN rec community, please comment with the appropriate link*

Of course, there's always crack_van, but for some reason, this hasn't been working well for SPN. Methinks the poltergeists keep kidnapping our drivers. Or it's a curse. Yep, that's it. It's the curse of the yellow eyed demon.

spn_themes is a themed rec community for SPN that strives to help you find good fic via themed posts (eg, Valentine's Day, J squared, etc). Looks fairly active with posts at least every month.

Then lali_lewicki provides her recs on sn_recs. Mostly gen and wee!chesters. Also, not updated very often.

37flavors hits a lot of fandoms, but it also does list several people who list rec communities on it's profile page. Looking through, I didn't find many that seemed to be Supernatural oriented and SPN only has 7 recs in the 37flavors as a whole.

37flavors pointed me to recsrainbow, a lists of various rec journals which is actually updated frequently it appears, listed the following: (Note, this isn't exhaustive list of those that are SPN recs, but rather the ones with the largest number of recs or ones who recced what seemed to be unique stories/genres to me)

Hallelujah, jackpot! fic_me_twice, a rec community by darkenedsakura and princess_dexter, actually has a whomping number of SN fanfic recs dating all the way back to September 2006. Just looking at the memories, it looks to be varied.

makesmewannadie does a lot of reccing and has done several SPN recs of varying lengths and different genres.

polyfandomrecs also has supernatural recs

reccer seems to have only wincest recs, but several of them.

rec_a_day only considers completed fics and doesn't have many SPN recs, but those it does have seem unique to me. Of course, I should qualify that statement by reminding everyone that I'm a hermit with regard to the SPN fandom generally.

alikcin has a few SPN recs as well as Dark Angel recs mixed in with the SPN.

Ooh, another big list: sareads has 68 SPN recs currently

Okay, that's what I've found so far. I hope that helps everyone.

**Of course, my own way of finding recs, is by stalking the memories of other authors. :) I'm so very glad that almost everyone besides me is all organized and shit.

Thanks to hossgal for these catches:
barkley regularly recs fics (het and gen) and has a searchable rec page here

musesfool keeps a recs journal,unfitforsociety, and her SPN recs are here

Also, shrift and nestra host Polyamorous Recs, which has a supernatural section with a good selection of slash, het and gen stories. (no rpf, no wincest)

---

Stumbled across this completely by accident: crack_impala (like crack_van, but all SPN, all the time). They have a schedule for when to see what recs:
* Monday: Gen Fiction.
* Tuesday: Real Person Fiction.
* Wednesday: Sam/Dean rated G through R.
* Thursday: Het and Other Slash.
* Friday: Vids/art/icons/misc.
* Saturday: Old Fic Feature.
* Sunday: Sam/Dean rated Hard R and NC-17.

oxoniensis found spnroundtable which is a new community: It has themed recs twice a month, a person assigned to rec weekly for a month, and several people who guest rec regularly. There'll probably end up being some recs on other posts as well, the author/artist/vidder Q&A sessions, and the chat posts.

SPN fic rec journals

Okay, alethialia asked to be pimped some rec communties. I went searching and then made a post of what I found (why yes, me and the frog are having issues again, why do you ask?).

Anyway, you can find the list here.

(no subject)

Umm, is it just me, or is tonight's episode of Bros and Sisters like a poorly plotted fanfic? I mean, the huge gaping holes!

maybe I'm just in a bad mood from this weekend.
