...Huh.
...Looks like I won a MOME Award. For my Viggo/Elijah drabble I May Be Getting Older... Which I wouldn't have known if I hadn't been congratulated on someone else's LJ as one of "the other winners." So, thank you, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) mews1945, for the heads-up. Also mazel tov to you, and to the other winners. Kinda suspect that mine was the ONLY Viglijah entry, but an award's an award. Also rather amusing that the drabble was created as the first of 50 for the ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) viggos_50 challenge. I was going to pair Viggo with a different person for each drabble...only to find out that all 50 had to be one pairing, and all had to add up to one 5000-word story. So I stopped at the one drabble. | | Sunday, November 15th, 2009 | | 2:29 pm |
Req: Tape of "Real Ghostbusters" SPN ep
I ask my nephew to tape ONE thing for me. ONE thing. ONE thing, while I'm gone for a weekend. ONE. Thing. And once again he forgets. (Last time the ONE thing I wanted him to tape while I was gone for 2 weeks, the Season 3 opener of SPN, he also forgot -- it was about a year till I saw "Magnificent 7.") If anyone has a copy of the SPN ep "Real Ghostbusters" I'd appreciate it. The Youtube version is backward, for some reason -- starts with "NEHT" goes to "WON," and Dean is driving British style. And I have a crawly, creepy feeling this one's embarrassment factor is right up there with the worst of an actor-con, so I don't want to watch it in the public library. Thanks. | | Sunday, October 11th, 2009 | | 9:37 pm |
Cool enough to cook again.
Now that the 100+ degree days are realio, trulio behind us here in Concord, California, my cooking muse has awakened from her estivation and whacked me with her Revereware saucepan. I can once again indulge my love for cooking without worrying about adding to the unpleasant heat. Today I: * Baked two loaves of Anadama bread * Chopped up my dying tomato plants for the compost heap -- and pickled the half-cup of tiny green cherry tomatoes salvaged from the debris. * Cooked a pot of "cowpoke beans" (pintos, bacon, tomatoes, onions, chile powder, YUM) * Boiled a dozen small eggs and did some brown rice in the small rice-cooker (In the Pacific Rim, you can get by with no blender or mixer, but you probably have at least two rice cookers). * Stuffed and baked a giant zucchini from my sister's garden (and shared it with my sister and nephew) * Made butterscotch pudding from scratch I'm set for the week ahead. Who's hungry? Current Mood:  full | | Saturday, October 3rd, 2009 | | 12:07 am |

The Inevitability of McShep Crack!Fic
The other week I was watching the extras from the film March of the Penguins. One of the extras is some kid-science type show about putting cameras on animals' backs (CritterCam). The emperor penguin the science team chose for the camera work? They named him Rodney. | | Sunday, July 26th, 2009 | | 1:42 pm |
Missing Comic-Con...Like I Care
I have zero interest in coming within 20 miles of San Diego this time of year. That's because I'm a comic book geek. I'd rather riffle my way through comics and talk to the artists and writers at leisure. They should rename San Diego Comic-Con to the more honest San Diego Movie Mega-Promo Blowout and quit pretending they're a comic convention. I have no wish to pay a ton of cash for the privilege of elbowing my way through 200,000 people, 99% of whom are there to gawp and goggle at Ac-Tors promo-ing films and TV shows that are kinda sorta vaguely attached to something in the comic genre, and wait in line for hours to get into 2 panels, or have 5 seconds to talk to someone scribbling on my program. (If I wanted that kind of crap, I'd go to a damn Creation-Con, and I'd rather go to a real convention.) I can go a whole summer without seeing a film. It's better for my blood pressure anyway -- I'm tired of paying $10 to sit in the same room with screaming toddlers, yelling kids, and their 17-year-old mothers cussing into their cell phones at top volume. And that's at a 10pm showing of a 3-hour zombie film. No way am I chancing a Pixar film in this town. So I'll see you at the next Alternate Press Expo. Or the DVD rental place. | | Tuesday, July 14th, 2009 | | 8:49 am |

Woodjin Drabble, "Taxonomy"
Re-reading "Woodjin" and remembered a vague promise to write this one -- well, in my own head anyway. Kind of a parallel-universe companion to my drouble, "Sign."Title: TAXONOMY Author: gardnerhill Word Count: 100 Pairing: None (one implied) Rating: G Fandom: LOTRPS, “Woodjin” AU ( Drabble under the cut. ) | | Monday, June 15th, 2009 | | 9:55 am |
On Holiday
I'm sitting in an overstuffed chair adorned with dog hair, I'm watching birds at a feeder, I'm drinking tea and reading a Terry Pratchett novel. This? Is the only way to spend a wet Monday morning. | | Thursday, June 4th, 2009 | | 9:20 am |

For Earth Day: an odd drabble, "Green"
A bizarre little drabble that hopped out of me. But it seems to tie in to the cycle of life and death and regrowth so close to us in Winter and Spring. Title: GREENAuthor: Gardnerhill Word Count: 100 Fandom: Will be made plain. Pairing: None Author's Note: A time to die, a time to live.

SPN: Happy Birthday JDM!
Okay, so Papa Winchester (Jeffrey Dean Morgan) is actually observing his birthday on the 22nd. For once I'm a day early rather than a month late. Face it -- John is still the hottest Winchester, and he's been dead for 3 years. *** A CAVEAT ABOUT HOMONYMS, OR SOMETHING... Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles asked Jeffrey Dean Morgan if he wanted anything special for his birthday. Jeffrey thought of those shiny, pricey timepieces both Jared and Jensen wore on their wrists. "Yeah," he said. "I wanna watch." So they let him. *** | | Sunday, April 19th, 2009 | | 9:19 am |
Happy Earth(quake) Day!
Yes, most people were out composting or cleaning up parks or such on Saturday for Earth Day. But in San Francisco, April 18 is also remembered as the anniversary of the Great Earthquake of 1906. It's a time to think about disasters, and your preparedness for them. I spent Saturday revitalizing my earthquake emergency bin (a big plastic trash can full of water, food, blankets, meds, etc.). Tossed out most of the cans of fossilized food, threw away the flashlight (ugh, batteries leaked, next time take them OUT), and went shopping to refill everything with fresh goods. What kind of natural disasters do YOU have to deal with on a regular basis -- if only to prepare yourselves for handling the aftermath? | | Monday, April 13th, 2009 | | 7:37 pm |
