Fading fast...

Been ages since, but really need to have that subject line on my journals, just 'cause, so here I ramble.

I love twitter, but have never spent any time following something in 'real time' until yesterday when violence hit a mall in Oregon. Still staggered. Unreal. Makes me feel other.

What makes me feel connected to the world and happy is watching Mackiedockie writing in google docs. Nothing, nothing, nothing, then explosion! Words cascading down, a deluge! Preformance art, if there ever was. I'm honored to be witness. Lucky me.

Oh, and there never was a more perfect grandchild than mine.

I will just leave out the crap and call that the state of absolutely on 12.12.12.

Packing! Of late, I have started loosing things rather spectacularly. My own little katana space. Wish I could figure out how to pull them back out to my plane of existence. My little note book with the pockets into which I stuffed baby pictures to show off at the con, gone. ((sigh)) Well I still have gazillions of pics on my laptop. I lost a whole unopened sack of dark chocolate chips a few days ago. And when I bought a new bag and baked the cookies I forgot the flour mixture in the first batch. So that's how they make butter brickle. I think I'll blame that one on Anya with whom I was chatting online at the time. Yeah, that one's Anya's fault.

Still raining. And the creeks are high. We are leaving extra early for the train in the morn just in case the freeway traffic goes psycho in the snow and rain. I apologized to my fellow convention goers for the Oregon weather on twitter this morning. We never did promise you dry, but we make up for with the beer.

Hope to see some of you soon.

Brand new travel drive came with two folders and three other files on it and I'm wondering if I can just delete them. Anyone on my list know if any of this stuff is necessary?

*folder: club_application (contains 37 items)
*folder: SanDiskSecureAccess (contains 2 items)
*autorun.info
*RunClubSanDisk.exe
*RunSanDiskSecureAccess_Win.exe

Interestingly enough none of these file names make me feel the least bit secure.

Sitting here in my easy, drinking a bloody abomination, while listened to a new voice. Sherlock has finally started talking to me. Been able to hear John Watson for awhile, and even Mycroft. Come along now Lestrade. Welcome to my hovel boys. Mac, Joe, even Methos have stilled...watching me struggle. Good timing for good times. Two paying docs to write, that old guardbear claiming to be 'original' and finally bread crumbs cast by the detective. It's all good.

I wrote a bit of shiny pencil for Anya. She was been requesting Sherlock/Methos for sometime now, and though Methos is always willing, it was difficult to get Sherlock to agree to it...

Thanks very much to Mackiedockie for beta.

Slash, swearing, alley sex, PWP

Have finished 95% of my crocheting for Christmas, and have a good start on my last gift story (Yes, Anya there will be shiny pencil for Christmas -- or at least by New Years.) Finally felt ahead of the game enough that I could read a couple of the yummy new Highlander stories at
Highlander Holiday ShortCuts

Won't get them all read before the reveal, but at least I'm ahead enough now I don't feel guilty about sneaking away to sample a few.

Also very excited that the bbc Sherlock is returning on New Years.

Happy Holidays!

This is really worth reading. Louise Brealey tweeted the link this morning. It's an article written by Henry Porter about and for his friend, writer Gilbert Adair. Link is to the Guardian.


My dying friend found kindness to be the rule, not the exception

Time keeps marching....Today I switched out our companies old website from the Precambrian for a spiffy new one. I wrote the oldie with Front Page on a Windows 98 system and the new with KompoZer on Ubuntu.

Archived a couple stories, the first and the most recent of the stories that mackiedockie and I've written together.

The Case of the Burglarious Bibliophile to HL Fiction

Joe's Truth to AO3

Last day of a week in Alaska and not even one mosquito bite. How can this be?

Will be home by Thursday evening. I think. To tell the tale.
