I have SEEN the light: keyboard shortcuts
I'm not talking about using keyboard shortcuts to copy/paste, print, rename folders/files, and all that. I'm talking about using keyboard shortcuts to open often-used folders and files. Why didn't anyone tell me about this? It's only the most brilliant thing EVER!!
Like, most of this post was composed in a specific plain-text document, which I can open from anywhere by hitting Alt+P. The minute I think of something I'd like to post on, I don't have to go online and find my draft post at DW, or open some program, be it an LJ/etc. client or gedit (Ubuntu/Linux version of Notepad). I can just hit Alt+P, type out my thoughts, hit Ctrl+S to save and Alt+F4 to close. My fingers never have to leave the keyboard!
It can also be used for sneaksy things, like hiding folders you don't want people to trip over (like e.g. I hide my fandom folder). But in the olden days, hiding folders also meant more time spent finding them, yourself. Now I can open my fandom folder by the mere hitting of two keyboard keys. Have I mentioned how brilliant this is??

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!

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]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) florahart)
Artist/Mixer: elanorofcastile
Beta(s): Several people have read bits and parts; 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 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 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, 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?

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.

Dear Blog,
∴ I got a new adapter for my laptop, but have been busy this week doing a new work practice and battling another crappy cold.
I bet I have missed stuff, and I invite you to nudge me!
∴ I did a clean install of Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. It runs ok fine, but it doesn't seem noticeably faster than 9.04, the way 9.04/ext4 was noticeably faster than 8.10/ext3.

It may not shock you to learn that after six months of intense RPG action, the Askworld kids have kept in contact. Because we both work for nonprofit agencies, snaxcident and I tend to have the occasional "Hey, NFPs could use this!" moment, which I swear is all that I intended when I sent an innocent email...that prepared me for WORLD DOMINATION.

November Blogging: Day 6
drusillas-rain asked, "How long have you been writing? Have you written original fic? Can we expect to see more stories like Spooky Little Girl or was that a one-off? How do you and arionrhod collaborate together (the process)?"
I've written about our collaboration process before here, and even though I wrote that in 2007, it's still pretty accurate regarding our process. The only thing that's changed in the last two years is that we've moved toward writing more single POV stories than the alternating RP style.
As for more SNB next gen stories... We'd been kicking around the idea of writing one for a while, and we finally got around to doing it. "Spooky Little Girl" was a lot of fun to write, and we like the characters a great deal. Although we don't have concrete, specific plans for another next gen story, I'd say it's likely we'll write the kids again. Some of them proved to be quite... vocal about having their stories told, although I can't say when we'll get to it.
I wasn't sure if the first two questions were for me alone or for me and Arionrhod together, so I'll answer both ways.
I've been writing since I was old enough to hold a pencil. My earliest memories of writing is of writing what could be called Disney fanfiction. As I grew older, I branched out into bad hobbit, bad dragon rider, and bad wolf rider fanfiction, with a dollop of bad teen angst rhymed couplet epic poems thrown in for good measure. I've dabbled in original writing and had a few short stories published, and I got thisclose to getting a Regency romance novel accepted before the publishing company I submitted it to closed the Regency line. I've got a manuscript I've been tinkering with for years, and some day, I would like to finish it and try to get it published.
Arionrhod and I have been collaborating since August, 2004, and we've actually toyed with some original writing. We've played with the idea of turning the "Blood Bathory" concept into a novel, and we've done some brainstorming on a steampunk idea, but I think we need to stop getting distracted by fanfiction if we want any hope of finishing some original writing, either together or separately. There are only so many hours in a day, after all, and we're both busy with our jobs and relatives (and knitting! *G*), so if we focus on fanfiction, the original writing goes by the wayside and vice versa.
Maybe we'll get the original muses in gear after we finish all our holiday fest writing!

HEY GUYS
WE SURVIVED THURSDAY
And now I have freshly made peppermint-tea ice cream in the freezer, and fresh bread for gashouse eggs for dinner tonight.
And I'm hauling a bunch of stuff home from work so I get to take a taxi, and tomorrow I'm going to the Art Institute (!!) to see the exhibit of Caldecott book art and the Victorian photocollage and the freshly opened Apostles Of Beauty.
And it's member discount week, so I am going to treat myself to the fancypants restaurant instead of the cafeteria for lunch. I love the fancypants restaurant!

Update on the Clue, in bullet points.
* 3,000 words today. An entire action scene. I am exhausted, but I still rock.
* I officially adore Hairy Meg. I predict I may have trouble keeping her from upstaging the main characters if she keeps on being so very awesome.
* Cat piss flouresces AK green under blacklight. This has led to some innovative, and infuriating revelations around Mandala House this week.
* No, I have NOT checked to see what other bio-fluids flouresce, thanks, I've been writing, like a good girl!
* Forgot to remind Allyson to come and visit tonight. Woe. Although solitude did contribute to wordcount win, so... *shrug*
* saw Chiropractor. Made The Noise. Now have fierce adjustment headache. (And am planning to raid the final hold-outs from last year's broken-shoulder painkillers, so I'll be able to sleep through it while my neck and back get used to things being where they're meant to be again.)
* Am suspicious that the writers of Criminal Minds are setting out to deliberately nail each and every one of Clue's personal squick-triggers this season. *Huddles under the bed, shielding eyes with fists, and rocking quickly back and forth. There might be keening as well...*
* Brother Godric wishes it known that he is not a fan of NaNoWriMo, as it drastically cuts down the availability of lap and pettins.
* I have a venus flytrap. Alas, I no longer seem to have any fruit flies infesting my kitchen for said flytrap to trap. Hamburger will do for now, I suppose.
* And now, to bed. More words tomorrow. Avaunt.

LONG(ish?): One Dark and Stormy Evening (Al/Scorpius, NC-17)
Title: One Dark And Stormy Evening
Pairing: Al/Scorpius
Rating: NC-17 for language, graphic sex
Word Count: about 2,050
Summary: Al and Scorpius drink Polyjuice to look like their dads; hilarity and fucking ensue.
Warnings: They're both 17 and acting their age. Does teenage stupidity need a warning?
Disclosure Statement: two large bags of Chili Cheese Fritos and a nice bottle of Riesling were killed in the making of this fic.
Notes and thanks: Happy belated birthday, Jana! I tried to combine your present with this month's drunken fanfic challenge -- hence the title, stolen from the prompt -- but didn't get off my arse in time to post it there, so it morphed into something even stranger. Hope you enjoy it. :D
ETA: Jana got the bunny for this fic from bryoneybrynn 's hilarious work of staggering genius, Another...and Another...and, Fuck It, Just Leave Me the Bottle. It's 1,200 words of sheer brilliance.

The hell is up with this day? Everyone I know has had a rotten time of it today. I burned myself baking bread. Now every kitchen implement I use regularly has officially bitten me at some point.
THIS DAY IS MORE THAN FIRED. I'M PUTTING OUT A HIT ON IT.
To the brave soul who inhumes this Thursday (never could get the hang of Thursdays) I offer a scoop of peppermint ice cream and a glass of Sonic Screwdriver (one part vodka, one part blue curacao or in my place rum hurricane mix, and four parts lemon-lime soda. It's evil in a glass).
I did get 1200 words on Valet of Anize today, though.
Hey, does anyone know the supposed reasoning behind drinking hot tea in the summertime? This is my supposition:
"In Anize, we drink hot tea even in the summer," she said, as I stood awkwardly by the desk. "Sit down, Carry. I think it's a mixture of masochism and common sense. Supposedly," she continued, as I settled on the edge of the bed, "the tea either raises your body temperature, making you more comfortable in the heat, or it makes you sweat to cool yourself. On the other hand, as a country we seem obsessed with discovering who can survive the worst heat."
Are either of those correct? Are there other theories? I'd love to hear superstitions about tea. :D

It's a low-commitment, very friendly little exchange; participants only have to write as few as 100 words (up to 2000 max), in one of three fandoms: Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, or Pirates of the Caribbean. You don't have to be familiar with more than one, and you can request fic in a fandom you're not comfortable writing. Go here for the info/signup post, and spread the word!
Finally finished and posted the next installment of HotM. I need to edit/submit a fest fic, finish another (which is becoming rather longer than I thought initially), and start on December's DD. Phew. Then there'll be Yuletide fic to write, too, and 3fan. Clearly my sanity is, hm, marginal when it comes to all this.

November blogging: day 5
A quick one, because it's been a long and busy day, and I'm running low on brain cells.
Lore asked, "I know you love Johnny Depp, but what made you pick that particular quote and title for your journal?"
This refers to my Insanejournal only, because I haven't transferred the title/quote over to LJ or DW.
For those who haven't seen it, the title is "Upsetting All the Buffalo", and the profile quote is "The story opens on these mysterious explosions. Nobody knows what's causing them, but it's upsetting all the buffalo", which is from Ed Wood.
I have a fondness for Ed Wood and his movies (ditto William Castle, king of the gimmick), and I went to see the bio pic (Burton directed; Depp played Wood) when it was released. A while back, I realized it had been ages since I'd seen it, and I was in the mood for it, so I rented it from Netflix.
There's a scene where Ed Wood is poring over random bits of stock footage, including a scene of a buffalo stampede and a scene of bombs going off, and he makes up a story on the spot about what he's watching and starts thinking about how to turn it into a movie script. I was vastly amused by the sheer badness of the story, but also impressed that Wood was such an enthusiastic storyteller, he'd make something up about anything and try to make it work, no matter how crappy the end results were. He wasn't a good writer, but he had passion, so it was the juxtaposition of something that's awful and funny and pathetic and yet somehow inspiring that struck me enough to preserve the quote.
It serves to remind me that passion and determination trump talent. You can have all the talent in the world, but if you don't use it, it's wasted and no good to anyone. Meanwhile, someone who's utter crap can get things done if they have enough enthusiasm and drive to do it. The mere fact that Plan 9 from Outer Space is still available, aired, and watched attests to that.
It serves to remind me that I need to get off my ass and upset some buffalo while I still can.

OTW stuff
⇒ Dropped the grammar course, so no group presentation for me. Yay! On the minus side, have to do the course next year. Next year shouldn't be so busy, though, so it's okay.
⇒ So apparently, in addition to relaxing by writing, I relax by doing, wait for it, OTW translations! Yes, ![[info - personal]](http://s.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png) lian, I'm finally translating Vidding History. I just need to edit it and run it by paceus and it'll be ready. It's weird that during the summer, when I had lots of time, I could get nothing done, but now that I'm insanely busy, I can find time to do my volunteer work for OTW.
⇒ Speaking of OTW, lian is recruiting people for a new OTW committee, International Outreach. If you're interested in reaching out to non-US, non-English speaking audiences, contact her. I would volunteer for the committee if it weren't for the fact that I have never been in the Finnish-speaking fandom and know nothing about it.

Last night I dreamt my sister had got hold of my uncut muslin and was chopping it up into little pieces to make some kind of Christmas-related things to put on her dining table or something for when she was going to have people over. I was shouting and waving my arms but it was too late to stop her and I was going to be unable to make what I had planned to make out of it.
I don't know what that is yet. I have half-decided to take the embroidery book out of the library again and make some smocked nightgowns, but I'm not sure. The practical thing to do would be to save it for the toiles I'll be making after aprilmayinjune comes and wraps me in duct tape.

I don't even know what to do with that. I just know that I woke up disgruntled and er, have remained so. My gruntle has been dissed. Or something.

I'm not a Yankees fan, but I thought they were kind of adorable last night. And I really don't like the Phillies, though I think they are a really good team, so I can't be too upset with the outcome.

New show tonight! YAY! I am looking forward to this one a lot. Plus, new Bones, too!
Ah, tv, never leave me!
