.... is that it's never written fast enough!  Debra Noellert has a new story going on here:

http://www.fanfiction.net/s/7844663/1/A_Good_Guide_is_Hard_to_Find ; and if you look at the dates, she's not exactly writing *slowly*.  she is, in fact, updating in a 'timely fashion'.  it's not fast enough for me, because i've *got* to find out what happens next!

*wriggles in impatient anticipation*

and also, i hereby apologize to everyone who's waiting on any updates from me on any stories anywhere - Miss Noellert is outpacing me by a long-shot, and if *i* think waiting for *her* is hard, waiting for *me* must be downright torturous!

.... or does this look like a young Micheal Beihn to you?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNKbHJ3PTu4&feature=related

it's Kyrie Elaison by Mr. Mister... and then i got to thinking... if that lead singer looks like a young Micheal Beihn, the keyboardist reminds me of Ezra... and of course, once i started down the rock band AUs, then that has to be Vin Tanner shyly peaking out from under his hair on drums (the 1980s did *nothing* for his hair... just sayin')... which means the guitarist is probably Buck... with a dye job... ooo, boy.

back to your regularly scheduled fandom, now...

gym stats

so finally made it back in to the gym today, and i did:
3 miles on the reclined bike
time: 18.50ish.

my feet and muscles hurt, which is good, but eesh.

in other news, i felt the need for a worry stone today for the first time in *years*.  before GW, i kind of walked into the trash/bathroom guy at work making a pass at me.  i didn't realize he was going there, and i didn't mean to lead him on, but i'm not attracted to him, and he managed to push all my paranoia buttons by asking me if i'd date him right *after* he determined i was all alone in the area, *and* after he started the conversation by admitting he couldn't remember my name.

i don't think i've done anything flirty or whatever, but i let it go and figure i'm over-reacting.

today, he changed his route on the second floor to come past my cubicle - usually he goes up the middle.  i still don't think he's dangerous, and i still think i'm over-reacting, but he's hitting all my 'oh shit!' buttons, and i don't know how to let him know it's not appreciated without making a big deal over it.

the sad thing is, if i gave him any 'signals' at all, it's because i talked to him like he was an equal, not an inferior

this afternoon, i kept wishing i had a Buck Wilmington handy to take care of this problem for me.

just out of curiosity, does anyone in fandom on my flist know of a story that takes the 'Magical Healing Cock' trope (FanLore link) to it's logical conclusion - that of making the character an actual sex therapist?

i seem to recall that there was one AU in The Sentinel fandom where the Sentinel could literally f*ck his Guide into health.  which is kind of a scary thing, now that i think about it, because what happens if you're already healthy when you have sex?  grow the tail that evolved away?  maybe turn on some of the bits of 'junk DNA' left over from millions of billions of years of evolution?  maybe we shouldn't go there.

anyway, i was wondering about this because i suddenly had a vision of the mag7 guys as a collection of psychiatrists/ psychologists/ therapists.  maybe at the '4C Mind and Body Center'.  i thought yeah, that might be interesting.  the 7 of them working in a whole-body health clinic that integrated therapies for their clients.  Josiah, as the oldest and presumably most experienced, could specialize in profiling patients, building a baseline of personality and needs so that the others could tailor the therapies they offered to fit in best. 

Nathan could be in some kind of internist/ nutritional balance/ pharmacist position, specializing in integrating medicinal therapies with patient requirements.  like, how people with blood pressure medications can't eat grapefruit, or how taking St John's Wort may be a good substitute, but it should be treated like a MAOI drug and the diet adjusted accordingly.

Vin could be the physical therapist, knowing how the body moves, and/or is supposed to move and helping people regain their flexibility and muscle movement.

Ezra could be an occupational therapist. :) 

JD could do be the genius who figures out how to handle each patient's accessibility needs, and how to accomodate them.

Chris would be another psychologist, specializing in helping traumatized patients with PTSD and/or wounded warrior type stuff and etc.

And if Buck ain't a sex therapist... i'm not sure where to put him ;)  just call him mr. Dr. Ruth.

this idea is up for grabs, if anyone wants to use it.  i'm tagging this post as a dream-journal entry so it's easier to find.

sorry for the double post tonight, but i didn't want people to have to go thru the gym stats to get to the dream journal.

I woke up this morning covered in sweat, and dude, 

it wasn't even much of an action dream! )

And then I woke up, because my alarm went off, and the sheets were
soaked through with sweat.

why does it always end when it's just getting good?

boogieshoes: (Default)
I want a new story in the Skip Trace AU, preferably post-Vin having any lasting doubts about the threesome with Chris and Buck, with hot sex between Buck, Vin, and Chris.  It can be a PWP or longer fic mostly made of sex scenes, or a long, angsty h/c fic with lots of hot sweaty sex in lots of configurations.  But mostly, I want the smut. ;-)

Hi, just a quick note to say I've posted a short-short at AO3:

http://archiveofourown.org/works/281766

It's called 'An Immortal to Thanksgiving-Day Invitation'; no warnings, no kinks, rated General Audiences.

Hopefully, it'll give people a giggle.  You might want to check out the Collections Home Page for it first, just for a bit of background information.

there is absolutely no reason for the title of this post - except that i ran across some of these today while visiting Mobile's battleship park, and instantly fell in love with the idea of shoes issues to submariners to help keep the noise generated while working in a submarine minimal.  kind of awesome.

in other news, i had a fannish dream the other night, and as usual, i'm writing it up for everyone's perusal - and laughter. :-)weird dreams are weird )


and that's today's entry.  well, one last note.  my birthday present from my parents is that Dad's taking me shopping a bit.  Mom suggested a nice top, but i was thinking about buying ballet/sympohny season tix this year, and i think getting the earrings/ necklace to the evening gown i want is a better idea. 

while Dad and i were at the Battleship Park this morning, we met a survivor of the Bataan Death March.  interesting old man with incredible history is interesting.  and incredible!  he said HBO wanted to do a film based on his autobiography of the march, he told them he didn't want to have any cursing or swearing in the script - 'i don't say that, and i don't want to be associated with it!'.  the company contact told him that he wouldn't have any control over that once he signed the contract - so he decided not to sign.  go you, awesome old man!

wot i did this weekend

well, happy late 4th - and Canada Day. i went to a friend's house this weekend in NOLA.  great time there, ate too much, and too many carbs, but i got to play D&D, which i haven't done in *years*, Guitar Hero, which is a favorite of mine, and we saw a couple of movies. first up: TF3 - actually a reasonable plotline, although Gellis (my friend) thinks the movies are over for now, since they killed off all the Decepticon upper echelons.  i'm not so sure, since it seemed like there were a lot of Decepticons left after the final movie battle.  we'll see.  one thing is sure, you don't really need a plot when you've got 40ft tall robots.  they're nice to have, but frankly, you go see things like TF3 for the robots and special f/x.  which were awesome.

next was Green Lantern, which i didn't really care about, i just wanted to hang out with my peeps.  it was reasonably good, although i didn't know the comic books.  the best part was seeing the main hero in nothing but undies.  that scene opens with a close up of his face - so close, we can see his pores.  yeah, yeah, we get it.  i had to make a snarky comment, so i was all, "we don't really need to see - ooooo!"  the 'ooooo' was when they pulled back to show his whole body, with only a pair of tighty whities on.  yeah, we know where my brain was - Gida, Gellis' wife - was laughing at me, but that's ok. :)

one thing that my fellow mag7 fans will want to know is that i have my previous computer back, the one with the files on it i'd like to get back.  Gellis thinks i probably just need a new cord/adapter, which i've bought, but i haven't tried it out yet, so i'm not sure that's what the whole answer is.  it's definitely *part* of the answer - the old cord was looking downright dangerous.  on the docket this weekend is to try out the new cord and see if i can get the comp to work, in which case i'll be good to go, and then can work on the *black* laptop, getting the files off of *it*!.  the black laptop is a 2000 rebuild of a '95 case.  old stuff, there.

if i still have issues with the just-prior laptop, i'll be sending it to a friend of mine who lives in atlanta, who is also good with computer stuff, and who should be able to figure things out quickly.  if that's the case, i'll make a new file of the Mag7 x BTVS story i've been working on, and work on it from that one while i wait for S to finish with the lappy. so there's that.

in a fit of insanity, i've decided to make gifts for the outgoing and in-coming Axemoor Baronet.  i already have most of what i need, and need to finish shopping for items tonight online.  this is in addition to the 3 more baby bibs i've got to make this year.  possibly, i'm an idiot.  actually, scratch that.  *DEFINITELY*, i'm an idiot.  go me, hah.

finally, bit of TMI re girly bits - skip if you don't want to read it )

so i was driving in to work today, and i saw this car... with tail feathers tied to it's bumper.  Mobile-ites seem to have this thing for attaching trailing things to their car.  the tiger tails i understand - Auburn is the local university, and their mascot is the tiger.  and these 'bumper-feathers' i understood when i passed the car, which was painted out on the door panels with (i think, i was paying more attention to driving) a NA life or battle scene or something.

the one i don't understand was the toy rat tied to *another* car's undercarriage!  it was plush, but really?  i'm all for jokes, but if the driver was responsible, that was non-obvious, heh.

but raptors and their prey were apparently the theme of the day - i saw a falcon or something light on one of the light poles on I10.  that was kind of cool.


and here's one for the dream journal )

so, there are a few things going on in my life right now which sort of dovetail together, and make me sneeze.  (hay fever)

one of them is that post-offering the character study of ATF!Chris, i got to thinking i might do one for each of Mag7 guys, and the next char who spoke in my head was Buck.  and i started writing a little something, and then ran across a few questions regarding Buck's and Chris's developing relationship in their BUD/S training days, which in turn led me to emailing my handy dandy RL retired SEAL friend those questions.  RL!SEAL sent me an answer, which did two things - 1) it promptly cracked me up, and 2), it made me wonder...


ladies and gents of the mag7 fandom, lend me your ears.... )

a short note to[livejournal.com profile] wneleh , first - i offered to write up an essay on my internal process while i searched for, and found, Wicca as my spiritual path.  she asked me today if she'd missed this essay, and no, she didn't.  it's on the list, but i haven't written anything yet, partially because i've been busy, partially because i've been socked by allergies, and mostly because i usually have to be in the mood to wrote stuff like that.  i haven't been in the mood to be thinky lately (see allergies), so i've been crafty instead. :-p  sorry,[livejournal.com profile] wneleh .

you know you're in the spotlight when... a trip up the stairs into an airplane generates an AP story.  sheesh.  i know it's Ms. Clinton, but really?  are we *that* hard up for political news?  i didn't think so.

i dream of Ghostriders and Wen Specer's Ukiah Oregon cross-overs... )

and then i had to quickly jump out of bed, because i'd slept longer than usual!

and now, i'm poking at Farad, because i seem to remember her telling me she has an idea for my Green Day universe, and she hasn't written it yet, and i still want to read it.  Farad, what say you?

well, it's that time again.  giving season's greetings and warm wishes.  i'd like to wish my flist happy holidays, whichever holiday y'all celebrate.

speaking of season's greetings, i was doing my christmas cards at work today, because i had a whole list to get through.  you know that list - the one you always forget to put Great-Aunt Nita on every year?  yeah, that one.  i was confident my card stock would make it through the list, because i'd bought a box with 32 cards - enough for the list and a few left over so i could re-do screw-ups.  and wouldn't you know it?  i didn't have any screw-ups this year, so i ended up with a *lot* of cards leftover.  i guess it's like bringing your umbrella to stave off the rain...

in an effort to actually use up those cards instead of just pitching them, i went through the address book looking for people to send cards too.  that got rid of 7 cards, because about 1/2 of the addresses in their are 'repeats' - addresses that had been crossed out and redone as people moved to different locations.  a bunch of addresses are obsolete because i've lost touch with the person.  one is a dead person, whom i never crossed out because her address makes me remember her fondly.  and there are a lot of people with no address, just a phone!

so, with about 7 cards left, i wrote two people i need snail mail addresses for, because i don't have current ones:

ratmike
esperanza

could you two PM me with your current addys?  thanks.

and then i decided to write to my favorite actors.  i need a snail mail addy that will eventually reach the following people:

Michael Beihn
Dale Midkiff
Richard Dean Anderson
Richard Burgi
Michael T Weiss (of Pretender fame)

i'm thinking Official fan club addresses or something where i can send the letter and pretty much garuntee it will eventually get to the right guy.

in apt news, i un-boxed myself for the most part, except for my textbooks.  the place is a lot more liveable now.  i'm going to work on getting the dvds and craft boxes done this week and next week will be text books and receipt filing.  in the new year, i need to remember to contact my relocation agent and ask her how to file my relocation receipts.  my shoulders are sore, but i can garuntee room for the washer and dryer. 

in US news, the Repeal of DADT has been passed.  now don't get me wrong, i fully support the notion of gays being able to serve openly in the military, and gays *and* women serving in all MOS's freely.  what i'm not sure of is the Repeal's wording, because as far as i understand it, repealing the DADT means the previous policy is in place, which forbid gays to serve in the military entirely.  there has to be a replacement policy to supersede that prior policy if the Repeal means the step forward that gay activists think it does.  i haven't found the Repeal's wording, so i can't read it and be sure that a replacement policy is actually included.  of course, my google-fu sucks majorly, so if anyone wants to chime in with a link to the bill's wording, i'd be grateful.  because i keep getting the feeling that this is going to turn out to be something different than what everyone seems to think.

i am in the midst of putting together this year's to-do list.  for obvious reasons, a lot of last year's list got jossed.  this year's will be somewhat smaller as i don't plan to buy a whole lot for this apt, although there are a couple things that might get bought just because it's time.  also, no garden this year.  i don't have enough room anyway, but the $$ i spend when actively gardening needs to go into the savings-for-house pot.  regarding the house itself, took a look online around Baldwin and Mobile counties, and found 1 other Tudor - in worse shape and costing more than the one in Lucedale.  in fact, i may end up in mississippi just for the cheaper housing.  the place in Lucedale is by far and away the best deal i've found around here.  still, i've got a year to look around and see, and so i shall make good use of it.

in the near future: watch for the 2011 to-do list, and a write-up comparing to 2010's list.

long time no type!  things have been kind of busy on this end, and this is the first chance i've had to breathe for a little bit.

first, i want to thank [livejournal.com profile] slavelabour  for the lovely cookies!  they were delicious *winks*.


second, i wanted to update my flist on the state of boogie - remember those trip-falls i'd taken a couple weeks ago?  well the swelling
in my left foot hadn't gone down, so i finally made an appt with a sports doctor, who x-rayed my left foot and ankle and said it was
strained and torn ligaments - and that tissue damage just takes a while to heal.  he gave me an anti-inflammatory and a muscle relaxant,
and said to come again if things hadn't improved in two weeks.  he also noted that i had a break sometime in the misty past in my left foot -
he could feel it, and feel that it was old old old.  ah well.

so yesterday, following the directions on the bottle, i took a muscle relaxant in the morning.  doc had warned me it might make me sleepy, but i ended up coming home from work after only an hour and zonking out for 6 hours.  *sheepish look*  i forgot that i tend to react more strongly to medications than is 'normal' (whatever normal is).  oops.  this morning i got to work an hour early because, well, 6 extra hours of sleep!

what a dream i had! )

and then i woke up, and couldn't get back to sleep, so i came in to work an hour early.

and that's the state of the boogie, today.

boogieshoes: (cross-stitch)

i'm finally done with the Vin-dog on my mag7 doggies stitch.  i'm both happy and sad - happy, because he looks great.   sad, because i don't want to stop stitching, but i have other obligations i must spend my time on.  *sigh*.
mag7 doggies stitched... )

-bs, stitchy
boogieshoes: (Default)
so, after a particularly frustrating day yesterday, i decided on a LOTR marathon, and to finish stitching the Vin-doggie on the mag7 doggies.

after listening to the intro by Cate Blanchett, i came to a revelation: Wash. DC is Mordor.  no, seriously, think about it: the evil that rises in the east, in Mordor, where the politicians shadows lie... i'm not talking about just Obama or just this administration, although i think Obama is bringing this country that much closer to the breaking point.  there's been a serious shift in american political practices since at least the 1960s, one which seems to value extremism over leadership, polarization of the constituency over common common-sense goals; and a promotion of the breakdown of basic infrastructure.  in the beginning of this country, King George was the shadow, England was Mordor, and we were right to fight for our right to govern ourselves.  but we've given our rights away in bits and pieces, and we have only ourselves to blame for DC being in the state it is now.  i don't know if we're going to have another revolution, or how soon that might be... but i won't be surprised if it happens, either.

the next revelation is that i'm probably going to run out of browns on my mag7 doggies stitch.  i have at least 3 brown hats to stitch. 5 if Josiah and Nathan wear brown hats - Ezra wears a black hat like Chris, but JD, Vin, and Buck? all brown hats.  oi.  i'm at the point of modding the Vin-doggie.  i've already changed his holster to accomodate a Mare's Leg.  i'm going to make the stock on that gun darker than the one shown in the pic at that URL, because in this screencap, the stock looks like it was made out of a dark wood.  Vin will also get blue eye-beads, bugle beads for shells on the belt, and a neckerchief.  i haven't decided whether or not to give him a medicine pouch yet.  Vin wearing a medicine pouch is fanon, but i haven't actually seen any screencaps with him wearing one.  but sometimes fanon is stronger than canon.  we'll see.

i finally started noting down all the modifications i'm making to the pattern, too, because if i want to do this again, i'm going to want those in hand.

finally, i've been having trouble waking up in the morning.  i mean, really waking up.  sometimes, i'd fall right back asleep after i got up and took my meds.  i thought maybe this was the medication i had to take every 12 hours making me this sleepy, but this morning, i finally realized that that didn't account for the fact that even after evening meds, i was more awake than in the morning.  so *this* morning, i decided to keep one of the other meds for this evening, and it worked.  i'm actually more awake today than i have been for weeks.  i'm such a dumb-ass sometimes. *sighs*

such is my life.
