 | 03:34 pm - It's D-Day...
And by that I mean David Tennant Day. Or possibly Doctor Who Day. Either way, I fully expect to end the day weeping inconsolably and taking to my bed to mourn.
Can we just, I don't know, stop time? I don't want 6.40pm to come. I don't want to watch this episode. I don't want to watch Ten die. And I don't want David to go. I know I said all these things back in 2005 when Chris left and David took over, but...I don't know, this time it's different. We only had Nine for one season, but we've had Ten for four years now; and no offence to Chris, but David has just been brilliant.
The only way I will feel remotely better about this is if Steven Moffat announces plans for a Four Doctors special and brings back Eight, Nine and Ten. Or does an episode focusing on Not!Ten and Rose in the parallel universe. What, it could happen!

 | 12:09 pm - Wow, 2010 already...
Where has the last decade gone?
I'm not really one for making those retrospective posts, or posts about resolutions or plans for the future. I tend not to make plans because I never keep to them and then I always feel like a failure. I prefer to let things happen organically. Or not. Usually not, in my case.
Anyway, happy New Year to you all! I hope 2010 is filled with fun and frivolity and madness and joy and fandom wank and craziness and excitement. You know, all the good things in life. And perhaps just a teeny tiny bit of shit in there, just for perspective.

.oOIn which we STILL will not be on Mars and STILL not get all the work done by robots!
2009 was good - I hope 2010 will be even better.
May all your wishes come true!

 | 06:39 pm - Happy New Year
Imbibe things that are bad for you! Don't drive around! Eat terrible party food!
Also, in a more serious tone: This has been a wild year for me, which is partly my own willing fault and partly well beyond my control, but new fandom friends and old RL friends have been steady bright spots throughout.
I don't sat it nearly as often as I should, but tonight, while I've got a bulletproof excuse: a toast to my flist (and other dear friends.) It's good to have you around.

 | 04:14 pm - Meme out the end of the year:
If you had me alone, locked up in your house for twenty-four hours and I had to do whatever you wanted me to, what would you have me do?
All comments will be permanently screened because it's a secret. Then, repost this in your LJ. You might be surprised with the responses you get.

Eventually I will make some resolutions and post about them. But for now, from everyone, ^that.

| 01:41 pm - Way to go shuffle.
Someone please write me some Scotty/Jose Tyler fic, please.
Enter the Haggis - The Mexican Scotsman
Jose, get your bagpipes
And head down to the square
Seranade the passers-bye
And you'll make some money there
Jose came to this country
Looking for a chance
To make some decent money
To buy a pair of pants
But we were in recession
And jobs were far and few
So Jose took his bagpipes
And did what he had to do
Dressed in his Sombrero and Kilt
With his bagpipes and maracas
Playing away for his supper
Boiled haggis with nachos
One day while he was basking
A pretty young lassie came by
She said "Jose, take s troll with me"
Says Jose, "Si! Si! Och' 'Aye!"
They spent the day together
Then she took him to a dance
Well, Jose moved most gracefully
'Cause he wasn't wearing pants
And he was born in Mexico City
Educated in Scotland
In sandals and bright tartan pancho
Jose's fashion statement was not planned
But when Jose went to the men's room
There was trouble close at hand
Cause in came Bob, the sailor man
The roughest man in the land
Says Bob, "You're lookin' pretty
In your little tartan dress
Now you'd best be off to the ladies room
'fore I pummels you into a mess"
Now you could have heard a pin drop
As Jose tongued around
His scottish-mexican blood began to boil
And it made this kind of sound...
(Insert raging Mexican Pipes)
And when it all was over
Sailor Bob lay on the floor
He looked the saddest sorry wreck
Ever blown a shore
Now, the sailors keep a lookout
Whenever they're on the land
For they knows well that they doesn't mess
With a Scottish Mexican man!

I've been bloody well saying 'make it so' for the last five or six years, but no matter, because they finally listened and made Patrick Stewart a knight. Yay!

Drive-by Trekrec: Punch It is a Pike/Number One story set in an AU where Jim never took Pike's dare, but ends up in Starfleet anyway. I love not just Chris and Number One in this, but Winona is absolutely AMAZING.

 | 07:10 pm - When you love something enough to inspire crimes in its honor
Ok, there have been shenanigans. Any of you with any interest in Temeraire may find them to be hysterical. Before I get on with other responsibilities like the Terrible Tentacle Festival and beta-reading and comments and remembering to eat dinner, I feel that it is important to document some of this epic adventure of comment!fic.
First, in an extremely effective effort to distract me from pitiful crying in my beer, ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) possibly_thrice made THIS little gem, which I loved and cuddled and tucked under my pillow so that I could sleep last night.
Then, in the comments, rubynye worked some of her usual wonderful prompting magic, which led to this additional snippet, which is every bit as fantastic as the first.
At that point, I was a hopelessly lost cause of giggles and grins, which somehow led to the creation of still more naughtiness in the comments to follow, two of which are pasted below, as they're the only part of the whole fiasco that I'm directly responsible for.
Naomi Novik: I have yet to make your acquaintance, but I love you very much.

Is it wrong to want a pirated copy of Sherlock Holmes pretty badly? It's only been out 6 days. I saw it 6 days ago.
Seriously, internet. Why fail me now?

And the thing I really want to work on a lot is the one where Number One & Away Team & ship get stuck in the time-dilation field because its crucial for some of the other stories I want to write and I'm still working past the whole Writing With My Parents In The Room thing.
And it's cold and I left my sweater in the car and I don't know when I'm getting picked up and my mom doesn't have a phone on her and did I mention I'm cold? And I don't want to get coffee because it's five and also it's cold.
And there she is.
Seven more days.

 | 09:53 pm - Ronaldo who?
These are the games I like to see. Five goals, five different goalscorers - and an absolute hammering for our opponents. Plus, my man Berba scored. :)
Here's hoping this heralds United's post-Christmas tradition of slipping up a few gears and moving into form. We're always stronger in the second half of the season. Here we go!

Ironically, this took me more than nine months to complete.

Please PLEASE view the larger version if your computer/connection can handle it. The small version murders the texture.

I've also posted detail images and a description of my technique.

 | 11:24 am - hellos my flist!
So I'm heading up the good 'ship PikeOne at 'Ship Wars, and looking for Pike/Number One fans to help us win this thing*.
Are you up for the challenge? Take the Queen's Shilling.
ETA: most of the planning will happen at ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) pike_numberone but I crossposted to my journal because it's the only way I can get calapine to see it ;)
* and by 'win" I mean stealithly recruit 'shippers from existing 'ships and open their eyes to the glory that is Pike/Number One. And have some fun and write some fanfic and create some fanart while we're at it.
