For awhile, the State of Alaska was blocking its employees from most dogsledding sites. Go figure.
They did finally remove this block from at least some.
No, no, no, sir. No more chick pit for you. Come on.

Anything on geocities is blocked--with all the pop-ups I"m not surprised--but there's oodles of fic out there.

Maybe the do was cancelled? Otherwise, she's an idiot and rude.

Disinviting? That's harsh. I mean, sending a "Yo! Answer me!" follow-up - sure thing. Or just seething silently. But disinviting? Nuh-uh. Maybe it was a mistake. I don't do e-vites enough to know whether you can accidentally disinvite someone when, say, you were marking them as not having responded or something.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Go to the party anyway! I mean, if it turns out you're gatecrashing, it's less rude than the takeback.

I don't have to be at work until 10:00 tomorrow, and it's the Scarlett Johansson Robot Chicken tonight.
The question is, will I be able to stay awake that long?

Hivemind horse question:
I need a horse to suddenly stumble with an injury that will make it unable to carry riders for at least several days. But I don't want to kill the horsie--the story is a little bloody as is. So something that will heal with time and care is indicated.
Hero and heroine are riding double across rocky, uneven ground, and I'd prefer something sudden-onset if possible--the horse goes to its knees like the horse that won the Preakness, only more injured.
Ideas?

How about something spooks the horse and it runs off?

my new iPod is charging. I have already trashed iTunes on my work computer, but it looks like I will be adding it back on tomorrow and spending the day ripping CDs. WHOOT!
I'm not one for naming objects, but I am pretty sure the iPod is gonna need a name.
