A Can of Worms

Apparently it is. After a relatively warm October, the rain and the cold and the darkness have all conspired and struck and made misery and mud. The thrice-cursed daylight saving disaster has been forced on us again, I have made fire in the stove twice (though admittedly usually I have to resort to burning woodblocks earlier in the autumn, so not bad) and after looking at the pup shivering in the bus stop last week, I decided it's time for the dogs to enter the coat-wearing part of the year. Puppy looks like either a determined mop with a rat head or alternatively, the little My (because of my honest effort to buy her a coat that balances the thin line between being wearable now and hopefully at least for the next two months. Though one can never know with a creature that is currently gaining around 0,5 kg a week.).
I'm doing the WRISOMIFU again this year ... last year I lasted less than a week, but I guess it was also pretty much last time I wrote anything remotely fic-y at all, so... Maybe this year I'll make it for two weeks *is optimistic. or deluded*. Anyway, I've filled my today's quota of 10 minutes by opening the Google Docs and outlining a few things I might be able to make into ficbits. Most of it is crack, but far from mebe the idea to sneer at crack. At this point, I'll be glad of whatever I get written.
I've had a few weeks of what has felt like a lot of work, though in reality there have been days off, but those have been spent doing other stuff that needed to be done (like spending a day judging dogs at a charity match show, and doing translation jobs), so yesterday I finally got around to cleaning the flat, and though today was again a long workday, I now have a Newcastle Brown, SGA happyfics to read and two days off to look forward to. And I plan to just lie back and sleep and read and be lazy. Well, and do my 10 minutes of writing *g*.
Anyways, have a nice November, everyone - whether it be for various celebrations or NaNoWriMo or the daily NaBloPoMo (was that the right acronym?) or for WriSoMiFu (especially warm supportive regards to my fellow MiFus!)!

John Sheppard would just LOVE to try THIS? y/y?

...because though I saw the SGA one, giandujakiss pointed out that there was this one first:
When you see this, post a quote from Supernatural in your journal.

Dean: Saa-am!!

...with your opinion on the US presidential elections, and are not the citizen of US, go http://iftheworldcouldvote.com/ (found via tmelange)

...only vevvy vevvy quietly (link to Insanejournal).

There is a new challenge up at Highlander100 - Midsummer Eve/Old Ways, if you're inclined to drabble.

Also, a yellow Ford Galaxy. MMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm.

I heart the effort people are making in providing information about fandom-friendly candidates for the Advisory Board elections. But. I CANNOT PUT THAT INFORMATION INTO ANY USE. BECAUSE THE FREAKING LJ AUTOMATICALLY PUTS ME INTO THE *CYRILLIC SEGMENT*, which has SEPARATE VOTING, with candidates I know nothing of.
I AM NOT RUSSIAN. Not by nationality nor by country nor by culture. I deeply resent being FORCEDLY included in *Cyrillic segment* and frankly, it makes me also deeply uncomfortable that a Russian-money-owned company automatically slaps Russian-language service etc onto the user accounts that originate from countries that were formerly OCCUPIED by USSR, countries, towards which Russia still keeps having territorial ambitions. THAT is the last and strongest reason to keep away from LJ for me.
*xposted to LJ because it concerns LJ*

...well. The plane part isn't really true, but I guess it says it all in a more or less succint way.


( To elaborate ) - I will stop double posting to Livejournal and Insanejournal. I will move my posting to Insanejournal for now, at least until something better comes up, either from OTW or Squidge or somewhere else. I will leave my LJ account for keeping track of people and communities staying on LJ, and I will post links to my IJ posts to LJ. So, if you're interested in my doings in the future, you're welcome to check over there now and then. I will keep on doing the highlander100 (I have been very remiss in my duties of late, and for that I apologise), and I have a few plans for the Highlander100 community on the Insanejournal.


Anyway, see you on the flip side!


( ETA: some more relevant links about LJ censorship of interests and moving: )

...I can still wish my f-list all the best for the upcoming year, I guess.









ETA: the pretty photo is taken from www.delfi.ee free e-cards, and unfortunately there is no author listed. It is a very nice representation of Estonian forest in winter, which is why I like it.
