At some point today, I saw a fic posted that was Torchwood/Blake's 7, Toshiko/Avon. I was going to go back and and take a look after Nin went to work. But I can't find it now!! I went back through my f'list three times, and checked comms it might have been posted to, and nothing. I finally see fic that looks promising, and then it disappears [sigh]

I did get a little bit more done on 'Fondly' last night. It's been a long time since I've written so much LaCroix, so I'm getting back into the swim of it, as it were. I'll work on some more tonight and see if I can't get more accomplished!

I've pretty much done all my assigned tasks, including beta reading for dejla. I'm just waiting for the Carne Asada to be done, which will be another few hours. I even remembered to eat! [nom noms sourdough and cheese]

So now, do I read, write, or watch a DVD? Or I could make more food for freezer. Nin wants Pinto Beans and Caramelized Onions.

I pledged I'd stop being lazy and get back to cooking large batches to stock up the freezer. First up, I just put a 4lb chuck roast into the crockpot to turn into Carne Asada. It has peppers, chili powders, onions, garlic, and it will cook about 6 hours. Tomorrow, I'm making a big batch of macaroni and cheese to freeze in those foil loaf pans. Then I can just pull one from the freezer and pop in the oven.

But I began my cooking day by making a Lemon-Berry Puff Pancake. It was kinda like a lemon Yorkshire pudding. It was yummy!

( The Recipe )

I used Blackberries and extra powdered sugar [g] And served it with apple wood smoked bacon. It was supposed to serve 4, but Nin and I finished it off all by ourselves!

Now, I'm waiting for the milk to cool to make this week's batch of yogurt. By the time I'm done cleaning the kitchen, it should be ready.

I'm reading Iron Man fic. And liking it.

I'm doomed, I tell you, doomed! ninjababe's going to laugh!

It's all amonitrate's fault [pouts]

What 5 series/books/movies can you rewatch/reread time and again?

Lord of the Rings: I usually reread it every year.
Highlander: I rewatch the Methos episodes several times a year.
Firefly: I usually end up watching it at least once a year.
Pirates of the Caribbean: gets rewatched a lot!
Bridget Jones's Diary: my annual Xmas movie, or if I'm depressed.

We did go and I did enjoy it. Even Gwenyth Paltrow didn't annoy me like she usually does. And yes, we stayed through the credits, though not having any prior knowledge of the comic books, it meant nothing to me [g] But Nin explained in the car.

( My reaction to the post credits bit... )

Well, the endodontist actually. This time, to have my bite adjusted to see if that helps at all. Another 1pm appointment. That seems to be my permanent slot.

Still no sun today.

ninjababe wants to go see Iron Man tonight. Don't suppose it can be worse than that robot car movie she made me go to last year [g]

But best thing about tonight? New Grey's! And an added dash of excitement, because ( subtext is becoming canon... )

Here's the pics Nin took this last weekend at the River Road Winery Day.

Utilized new tags over at occhallenge and am now appropriately tagged.

Redid Twitter bio.

Read a few short pieces of fic.

Replied to comments.

Twittered to many people I don't know.

Have finally given up on seeing the sun today.

Will use Xmas icon just to confuse everyone.

Nice writeup on last week's 'How I Met Your Mother' and 'House'.

Bored and cold. Spring seems to have been misplaced here. Email is a trickle, so is LJ, even the sun can't seem to work up enough energy to break out from behind the overcast.

What's up with y'all? Doing anything exciting? [peers through monitor]

Still incredibly bummed that Men in Trees has been canceled.

Nin only works till 7pm tonight, and is home most evenings this week, so I'm hoping we can catch up with the backlog of TV. We're two to three weeks behind on BSG, Doctor Who, Womens Murder Club, Moonlight, SPN. Tonight, new House, Bones, and How I Met Your Mother + Dancing with the Stars.

And did you hear that Highlander is going to be rerun on SciFi, along with STNG? This according to Variety.

My wine collection either needs to be drunk faster, or I'm seriously going to have to look at getting more wine storage thingies. Even considering a wine cooler! speaking of wine, one of the discoveries this weekend, wine from Montoya Vineyards. They're located in the Paso Robles area, on the edge of Monterey County. Doubly amusing since that the area I placed Santa Elena. tequilajen and I had a giggle over it!

Tonight's dinner: fresh sourdough, brie and roasted garlic. What we didn't eat from the snack I bought for company this weekend.

Guest have left, Nin's at work and I'm all by my lonesome. And now feeling oddly depressed. The long foggy cold day hasn't helped, I'm sure. Maybe will watch mindless television to distract self.
