her hands don't go to the moon

• I'm going to Vegas with athena4lynn! She wanted to go and I've never been. We're going over Valentine's Day weekend, although we shall not be getting married by Elvis, sorry to say. Yay for throwing caution to the wind and going on an adventure!
  
  
• As part of my continuing effort to try new things, I started doing hatha yoga. You guys, I keep finding muscles I never knew existed, mostly because they ache now. I like it, though! I look forward to the day when I can do more than the baby steps.
  
  
• Now that I have a new wireless card, my main PC is fixed. Music posts will appear more regularly, if people are still interested in them.
  
  
• I bought myself some Fluevogs for my birthday: ( I suspect they'll make a Club Vivid appearance )
  
  
• A birthday present from tzikeh has me going ahahahahahaha: ( possibly only funny to you if you watch Craig Ferguson with regularity )
  

Now I should go write, answer comments, or do something useful rather than spend the afternoon watching Red Dwarf on Netflix.

Light-Fingered
White Collar. PG-13, Elizabeth/Neal/Peter. 1000 words.
"Four times Neal steals Peter's wallet, and one time he doesn't."

Written for A Picture is Worth 1000 Words. Beta by nestra. My assignment.

Here are the Yuletide stories that I wrote in 2009:

The Eviction Notice
The IT Crowd. PG-13. Moss/Roy. 1950 words.
"In which Moss gets evicted, Roy has a head injury, Jen wins a bet, and Richmond returns."

The Random Frantic Action that We Take
Odyssey 5. NC-17. Kurt/Neil. 3220 words.
"I wish you could remind me of who I was / because every day I'm a little further off."

A Deficiency of Yang
The Invisible Man. PG-13. Gen. 1246 words.
"Bad back, green pants, and some very bad chi."

My new 1.5TB external drive arrived yesterday. I tentatively have named it TARDIS. (Will possibly rename. Maybe to Batcave. Maybe something else.) Files are copying! I have named my new 8GB Kingston flash drive Hardison. And wow, it's been far too long since I opened my computer tower, because I'm still sick from the amount of dust I inhaled yesterday when I cleaned it out.

The McShep Match Masterlist went live on Tuesday. I wrote A Heart Needs a Home.

A Heart Needs a Home
Stargate Atlantis. NC-17, McKay/Sheppard, McKay/Keller. 5,523 words.
"Sometimes when a door closes, a closet opens."

Beta by nestra. Written for McShep Match Team Peace, for the prompt "a house divided". The title comes from a Richard Thompson song.

(Belatedly crossposting this here. I keep forgetting to do that!)

...but it's only available in the U.S. & Canada. Sorry, international fans of Korean dramas!

I'm talking about a new site called DramaFever that just launched. It's free, high-quality, subtitled, full-length video for Korean dramas, and did I mention that it's legal? Go team licensing! \o/

Basically, it's like Hulu for Korean TV, although I think they want to add Japanese and Chinese shows in the future.

Some of the available titles: Coffee Prince, White Tower, My Name Is Kim Samsoon, New Heart, Goong, Jumong, Thank You, La Dolce Vita, Que Sera Sera, H.I.T., Yi San, I Really Really Like You.

Anyway. I found out about this a few days ago and thought fandom should know.

I'm totally going to watch Goong now.

Today is the birthday of my nestra! To celebrate, I have written something very silly for a TV show that Nestra told me to watch. Happy birthday, Nestra! I hope you find it adequately ridiculous.


The Second Work Outing
The IT Crowd. PG-13, Roy/Moss. 1,839 words.
"In which Moss and Roy are somewhat more married than usual."

Thanks to the_parthenon and gritkitty for the quick&dirty read-through.

( The Second Work Outing )

The Epiphany Job
Leverage. PG-13, Alec/Eliot. 3,612 words.
"When he rolled out of bed that afternoon, heated up some Philly Steak & Cheese Hot Pockets for breakfast, and then went to the office, Alec Hardison was not expecting to experience a paradigm shift."

Written for LGBT Fest. Beta by nestra. Prompt: 873. Leverage, Alec/Eliot, Alec might be a criminal; but at heart, he still is the good little boy who wants to make his Nana proud - and falling in love with a man is not part of that.

( The Epiphany Job )

Pretty Much A Humperdinck
Psych. PG, Shawn/Gus. 2,605 words.
"According to the rulebook of Shawn Spencer, once dibs are called there are no take backs."

Written for LGBTFest. Beta by nestra. Prompt: 1071. Psych, Burton Guster/Shawn Spencer, Gus and Shawn have been friends for life. When do they figure out they are more and how do their families react?

I met up with celli and thehoyden this evening to see Fast & Furious. I was expecting pretty men, fast cars, explosions, and maybe some eyefucking if I was lucky. I didn't expect ( GAY CHRISTMAS )

When we stumbled out of the theater, I was sweaty, giggly, and in dire need of a cigarette.

In conclusion: UNF UNF UNF, dear Chicago fangirls, we're so going to watch that one again.

Earlier today, I said that it had been the kind of day where I was going to buy vodka on the way home from work, but that I'd need to nap before I could drink any of it.

I got the vodka. I did not get the nap. (Who has two thumbs and is going to sleep well tonight? HA HA THIS GUY.)

My quest for purple shoes continues. Target is having a 75% off sale and I had a gift certificate, so I ordered these two on Monday. And then, about 30 minutes ago as I was making dinner, I checked to see if the purple wedges I wanted were back in stock at Zappos. They were; one pair; so I ordered them, too.

Um. The fact that I have a shoe problem isn't news, right? (I may be indulging in some retail therapy. Work is insane.)

I stayed up ridiculously late last night. I reached the point of no return in The Disorderly Knights, and I couldn't go to bed until I finished it. Once I did at half three, I said some blistering curses for a while, and then flailed around going, "ARRRRRRRRGH." I immediately stuffed Pawn in Frankincense in my bag so that I could start reading it on the way to work this morning. I can blame no one but myself. I was warned.

And now, vodka!
