*trying to choose between used DVDs at a yard sale*

"I'm trying to think about what would be the most positive choice for Finn's future viewing: Goonies or The Neverending Story."

(we ended up going with Goonies, BTW. Goonies never say 'die'!)

Chapter 3 is still a go, and is hopefully coming this weekend...if not this weekend, then the beginning of next week for sure. Sorry for my little hissyfit the other week - fighting with your husband all weekend will do that. :/ (we're much better now, though)

Oh, and it's my berfday! I treated myself by going to see Godzilla (pretty silly), and then going out for a beer and a burger. My parents all just gave me Amazon gift cards for my birthday, so I went ahead and got myself David's Richard II...that's actually a Shakespeare play I've never read, I'm looking forward to it immensely! Now I still have about $150 in giftcards left (also got myself a necklace and a new lunch bag for work)...what other stuff of David's has come out recently that's worth owning on DVD? (Keeping in mind that awhile back I acquired a burned copy of Broadchurch, which I'm just now watching, along with The Politician's Husband, which I haven't seen yet)

I have a bad case of What's-the-Point-itis. :(

Title: By Any Other Name, Ch. 2/3
Author: meself, fid_gin
Beta: unfolded73
Pairing: It's Loved 'verse, so overall it's Ten II/Ten/Rose. And, eventually, there will be Rose/Rose. Yeah, that's right, I went there.
Rating: Exposition chapter, we'll call it Teen for some insinuation of sexy tiems, but nothing graphic.
Disclaimer: I own nothing, all hail the BBC
Summary: She felt territorial towards a perceived intruder (even if it was herself), but also, for the first time since this younger version had appeared before them and quickly explained the rescue plan, she felt curious…
Notes: So, I'm continuing the (hopeful) trend of posting chapters on Sundays while the kiddo is napping. Because nothing says 'I'm being a responsible parent' like posting (eventual) porn on the internet, amirite?
Sadly, no porn this chapter, but a whole lot of Meaningful Conversations, and Ten II dressed a bit different than the norm. ;)

Chapter 1

( Chapter 2Collapse )

Remember when I said I was writing? I totally wasn't lying about that, I really honest-to-god am writing. Still. ON THE SAME GODDAMN THING.

Seriously you guys. If I finish this fic, it will be a goddamn miracle. Who knew femslash was so hard?!


OOPS. Did I say that out loud?


In the meantime, go enjoy the Loved 'verse on ao3 - I'm all the way up through Boys' Night In!

...I'm baaaa-aaack, and I'm writing.



Hope you're all (well, the three or four of you left, anyway) well!

It's happened. I have a Tumblr.

After the kiddo goes to bed at night, it's my time to have a beer and relax with some Netflix. I've watched a ridiculous amount of TV this way...The West Wing up to, once again, S3 (I figured this out: the first two seasons are SOOOO GOOD that I seriously mainline them, then by the time I get to S3 I'm just sick of it and promise myself I'll revisit it in awhile. Then, when I do, I think "Man, seasons 1 and 2 were SOOOO GOOD...I think I'll start there!" Wash, rinse, repeat); The X-Files from the very beginning (it turns out I'd NEVER SEEN many episodes in S1 - how is that possible?! Mulder had a kinda-slutty English ex-girlfriend...what?); Parks and Recreation (still working my way through this one...absolutely love it. But I've also kinda reached the same point I reached with The Office where, it's like, why is this documentary crew still filming?!); Buffy (sorry, no. Too ridiculous. Made it through one ep, couldn't do it. I'm sure, if I'd tried it about 5 years ago, I would have loved it, but I'm just too old and jaded now). And now, predictably, I've started watching DW over from S1 which has been immensely enjoyable and a novel experience (my word the 'effects' were horrible back then, weren't they? bless them), despite the fact that I OWN THE DVDS I never think to, like, watch them. This has led to a lot of discussion between Mr. gin and myself about Chris Eccleston, his nature as the Doctor and why he seems so very disgusted with his whole Doctor-experience now, including the following exchange:

Mr. gin, after Nine just watched Cassandra dry up and explode: "Maybe that's why he didn't like being the Doctor, because Nine was so bloodthirsty."

Me: "NINE WAS NOT 'BLOODTHIRSTY.' He was dark and brooding."

Mr. gin: "Whatever you say."

I'm waiting to see and hoping that rewatching the show like this might reset my fic switch, but no far nothing. :(

Any suggestions on other stuff I should check out on Netflix?

I promise one of these days soon here, I'll give an honest to God, happy update about how Finn's doing, 'cause he's doing great - but right now, I'm kinda down.

So tomorrow, we are dropping our cat of 11 years off at the no-kill shelter here in Reno.

( Cut for history and justificationCollapse )

Please tell me I’m doing the right thing.
