Yay, we're a knitting parlor!
Oh dear... Now I'm imagining a mystery story where they find an alligator (the town macot, no less) lying dead in the street having been viciously murdered with a tuba and the MC has to figure out who did it.
I appreciate my stir fried brain children being turned into bunnies.
Somehow this has evolved into a deranged Snow White retelling. And Snow White is a goat.
And there are dwarves playing trombones and tubas.
And Frank gets stuck in the tuba.
Aaaaaaaaaaand Artie may end up with a pet goat.
ETA: for the record, I may be cursing Richard right now.
Yay! Hi amergina! Nice spiff new title, too!
I'll read that.

Hi Zanz! I'm still around.
Somewhere.
Movie tip: if you intend to watch Chocolat, make sure you actually have chocolate to go with it.
Fortunately we had chocolate chips, so I mixed those into some peanut butter. But quality chocolate would have been better.
Yay Sian!
On my end, I didn't go online at all yesterday. Wound up watching 10 episodes of Star Trek: Voyager. Yes, 10 episodes in 1 day. It was epic. However, that meant that this morning I finally reached the point where Seven of Nine comes into the show! (Seriously had such a crush on her in high school. And now I remember exactly why. )
I must say, I'm thoroughly enjoying Voyager. I think it's about on a par with Stargate SG-1, in my opinion. Two very different sci-fi shows, for sure, but of similar quality. And I gotta say... The perennial question of "Star Trek or Star Wars?" that comes up a fair bit has now been answered. (Sorry Obi-Wan Kenobi - you're *not* my only hope!) Definitely planning on buying the box set for The Next Generation or Deep Space 9 once I'm done with Voyager. Which would people recommend? I've never seen many Star Trek episodes outside of a few years watching Voyager in high school, a few scattered episodes of various shows here and there, and now the first 3 seasons of Voyager.

Morning. I had a piece (non-fic) that had been accepted on proposal ages ago, but then there was just radio silence, so I figured they weren't interested.
Anyway, I was going to send it out other places, but I was all "maybe I'll just check in with them again" (keep in mind that over a year had passed at this stage).
Turns out emails do get lost. 10 cents a word guys. For something that I could write in my sleep. I'm so happy.
*dances around*
Those two things only go together in fantasy.
Richard has clearly been feeding my plot bunnies behind my back. Because when I read the whole alligator and tuba thing up thread, there was a suspicious wriggling of noses and tails.
I think there's a croc involved in this as well. Of the shoe variety. Because shoes. Oooh! And Frank the imp and Artie the troll might be involved....
blast.
Also? I hate you all so much for this plot bunny right now.
Especially Richard.
*plans to name the alligator or the tuba after evil Richard*
"It was Mr. White, in the swamp, with the tuba."
In five weeks I am going to Florida and it is likely I will be seeing many alligators who may or may not be killed by tubas. What about manatees? Or armadillos?
Seriously, I am also going to spend a day at Disneyworld's water park. Any advice?
Congrats! 10c per word is great! (If only I could get that much for internet posts... I'd be rich! )

WHERE'S THE YARN THERE MUST BE A YARN VAULT HERE SOMEWHERE SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE THE YARN IS!Yay, we're a knitting parlor!
When I went to Florida for my highschool graduation the only armadillos I saw were dead ones on the side of the road. Would have liked to see a live one, but apparently the little buggers have horrible timing when it comes to cars.In five weeks I am going to Florida and it is likely I will be seeing many alligators who may or may not be killed by tubas.

I'm crocheting because I've GOT to finish the baby afghan I've been working on for months. (It's been months because of my tennis elbow issues, but now that I'm better at dealing with that, it's going faster.)I'm doing cross stitch because I'm a rebel.
I haven't gotten to see Deep Space 9 yet, so I have to vote TNG.On my end, I didn't go online at all yesterday. Wound up watching 10 episodes of Star Trek: Voyager. Yes, 10 episodes in 1 day.

Yeah, Voyager and SG:U's shared premise (being stranded a long way from home) was handled sooooo differently! I really didn't like SG:U, to be honest. I thought it was a really disappointing end to the franchise, after the awesomeness of SG-1.
Hmm... So, one vote for TNG, and one vote for DS9. I've never watched Babylon 5 beyond a few episodes at a friend's place, so that comparison won't help me unfortunately.
*waits for more votes* I'll admit, I was leaning more towards DS9, because the premise interests me. A space station in deep space? Sounds like there'd be plenty of random races popping up, like in Voyager. Honestly, all I really know about TNG is that it's a more "normal" Star Trek, with being based around Earth and that general area, and the whole Klingon / Cardassian / Romulun / Vulcan sort of warfare storylines. I think? I don't even know that for sure - that's just the general impression I've absorbed over the years.
GINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!1!11!!!
'sup?
