Most people is pretty quiet right about now. Me, I see a stiff -- one I didn't have to kill myself -- I just get, the urge to, you know, do stuff. Like work out, run around, maybe get some trim if there's a willin' woman about... not that I get flush from corpses or anything. I ain't crazy.

Hivemind! I roasted a chicken last night, but apparently not long enough. It's been refrigerated overnight - can I fire up the oven again and finish it? Or would that be dangerous? It is a free range chicken, I believe.

Smonster, I don't know if you should do that, but I would probably do what you suggest.

My onerous task was finishing grading and submitting grades. Also, onerous? Wearing a corset and heels all day (in honor of retro day for spirit week -- they never said HOW retro).

My feet hurt.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Ive run out of Batman/Superman slash fic to read, which is amazing considering that a week ago I had zero interest in any such thing

I hate that, when I find a new fic genre, and I read it all obsessively for a while and then I am adrift.

That leads to pairing creep for me -- you start with S/B, and that leads to Batman/other people, or, hey, I wonder what Robin is up to?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Whew, tax return filed, possibly even accurately. I owe federal a little, biggish refund from state. Payment set up for Monday.

smonster, if you get the chicken's internal temperature up where it's supposed to be to be safe (165? 180? I don't know) I don't think it will matter that it was previously partially cooked. That may dry it out - maybe put it in a covered dish.

Jilli, insent to your gsc addy.

Sox, amych, I'd love to follow your blogs! I try to follow friend's blogs, so I feel like less of a schmo when I'm all "I HAZ NEW BLOG POST UP!"

I do NOT put it on FB, since I have peeps on FB I don't want following my blog, which is pseudonymous. But I use WP, and have my posts set up to it auto-Tweets new blogs to my also pseud Twitter account, and I will use FB message to send NEW POST messages to peeps who I think (hope) will be interested.

I don't have a lot of traffic, and almost never comments but I keep plugging away, for the writing practice and the clearing of thoughts.

When I set up my freelance biz this summer, I will have blog section for my freelance website which I WILL post updates on my FB, will set up a separate Twitter account and FB biz account.

And I will market the hell out of myself. June 3rd, I can start putting all my business planning into action re: THOSE ideas...

But I'll still maintain the personal blog, I think.

Onerous task: depositing old tiny freelance gig check and filling up my antifreeze. One done, one will do after 6 pm phone call for new edu freelance gig phone call...

Jilli, I had to do sub-Q with one compliant and one very non-compliant cat. I think it is easier than pilling them, barring a needle squick. And don't be weirded out as the fluid migrates. Both would start with a big pillow on their back that would gradually migrate down to the chest area.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Batman is a scary sort of father figure

What's wrong with that?

I hate that, when I find a new fic genre, and I read it all obsessively for a while and then I am adrift.

Which is why I love Dean/Castiel so much. A slow day means only a few new stories, even if sometimes there's nothing actually good or long to read. But there is always something.

That leads to pairing creep for me -- you start with S/B, and that leads to Batman/other people, or, hey, I wonder what Robin is up to?

My problem is I start to want crossovers. And there's no magic box with levers to push to get me the Sam/Nightwing porn I so desperately crave.

Wearing a corset and heels all day (in honor of retro day for spirit week -- they never said HOW retro).

No fair! Underwear as outerwear!

I think my nausea might have calmed down enough for me to eat lunch. I'm kind of scared to try...

I should move on to my next onerous task of getting a battery for the Volvo so I can take it in for its long overdue smog check, but that would mean getting dressed. Tomorrow.
