( Through Time and Space )

Did the grocery shopping. Left home right on time. Went to the subway station. Realized that due to construction work, there was "Pendelverkehr" - which means that I had to wait 15 minutes and change trains. Started worrying that I'd be late for the meeting. I arrived at my station after about an hour, I got off the train, saw a bus (thinking, 'yay, I won't be late after all!'), wanted to take my ticket out to show it to the bus driver ... realized I left my purse at home. In my backpack with the groceries. No purse means: no ticket, no money, no debit card. So I started walking to work. Took me about 15 minutes, which made me 10 minutes late. Inside the purse at home in my backpack: my ID card. The one I need to open the automatic door to the building where the meeting took place. I had my cell phone, but no telephone number saved that I could call. The room the meeting is in has windows, but none of them open to the street. So I could do nothing but stand there and wait in front of the building until someone came to let me in. In the end I was almost 40 minutes late and completely unprepared for said meeting attended by co-workers, authors and our department boss. And I had to borrow money for the way back home.

Not a good day.

Ever want to read a Twilight/Torchwood crossover? Come on! You know you wanna! What could possibly be crackier than those two fandoms smushed together? Well, you're in luck! Here's short crack fic for your crossover needs:

Fic: Twilight/Torchwood crossover - Bella/Jack/Edward PG-13 by elisi 

Why hallo thar  Ike. News paper this morning- Ike's path similar to Andrew. Will rival-excede that of Andrew. OH ~Joy /Sarcasim.  Right thankfully I have not unpacked yet and will probally pack more. I swear I will NOT be happy if Ike makes me miss ordering Hamlet Tickets. If I have to I WILL send monies to someone Who can order the ticket for me. =/ Now to find that someone. -sigh-

I hate being sick. I also dislike the start of school for this reason. The first few months of school always means fun little virus' running all over the place. Nephew brought home a fun little stomach flu. Uhg. I think I am going to vegg out some more and watch Torchwood, Mythbusters, Supernatural or start tackling Angel. Not sure yet. But vegg sound reall good right now.

...watching Supernatural. Lovin' Deano.

The boys were digging up a body and I realized that Dean must be a contruction WHIZ...

Both of the graves he's dug are PERFECT rectangles.

O.O

I'm off to Tenerife tomorrow for a week so I shall be absent from LJ for a little while. I plan a huge catch up session when I'm back but please feel free to link me to anything that you think I may be interested in, I'd hate to miss something. I'll probably have some internet access whilst I am away but not much time to check things so besides replying to this post it would be best to contact me through email or facebook.

*waves to you à la Donna Noble as she flies off with the Doctor in the Tardis*

SPEAK TO YOU ALL WHEN I GET BACK! *hugs*

Title: Change
Pairing: Ten/Donna
Song: Change by Tracy Chapman
Disclaimer: "Doctor Who" is the sole property of the BBC. The song "Change" is the exclusive property of Tracy Chapman, Elektra Records, and the Warner Music Group.
Author’s Notes: I’ve been trying to figure out something to write around this most exquisite song for a while now, and I could never think of something that would get the flow quite right. Thus, I decided to try out my new video-editing software and make a vid. Hope you all enjoy!

Well, lazy is my middle name and today I lived up to it (obviously it isn't but it really should be). There are plenty of things I should be doing, I just never actually got to them. I'm relocating at the end of October, just temporarily, but have I even thought about sorting through all my crap and attempting to thin it out so I have less to store for the 6 months I'm not going to be in London? Nah. Will I more than likely end up doing it in a frantic style the week before? Yep. Oh, I've made the lists of what I need to do- I am awesome at lists. It's just the doing of the lists that's my downfall.

The writing part of my brain is active though, even if the rest of it is quite happy to stay on the sofa drinking tea. I now have two Doctor/Donna fics in progress which is good because writing these two makes me happy. So, not all bad :)

Anyway, the weather is six kinds of crap at the moment too and, when it's like this, I always wish I was in Australia with its beautiful blue skies. So, when I wish I was in Australia, I go and look at the 8 billion photos I took when I was there and try to channel some blue sky to grey south west London. It's not working but damn, Australia was pretty *sigh*.

Seriously.

In NEVER fails.

There is a reason I don't get my hair cut. Every time I do, no matter what picture I point to in the book or how many simple words I use, I get the Carol Brady cut.

My mom would say that I should say I don't like it and demand they do what I want, but I'm not that kind of person.

Honestly, I'm just happy it's lighter and less-messy. And, let's face it: these people are professionals and I know my head is weird. Maybe they know something I don't and that's why I get the cut I get. Really, they are just trying to make me look better. which would be better done with a paper bag!

But... Carol Brady?

( scary self-pictures hiding back here )

In the grand scheme of things, it's not that big a deal, I know. But JUST ONCE I'd like to have someone look at the Season Two-Sam Carter photo I always have with me -just in case I find myself at a haircut-needing stage- and go: "I can do that!"

And do that.

I recently stated - sometime back in June, IIRC - that I was not going to discuss politics here despite the fact that I work in politics and politics pretty much shape and consume my entire life. Well, I lied.

I am, however, going to cut my Very Serious Discussion about Politics so that those individuals who wish to avoid said discussion, have high blood pressure or just don't care can avoid my ramblings.

( If you're a ninny or offend easily or have been ordered to avoid discussions of a political nature by your attending physician, do not click. I'm serious. )

courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the realization that something else is more important than fear. songs for bravery.

i would like to note that these songs all imported at 11:11 am today and i totally didn't mean for that one to happen. if that's not the oddest coincidence, i don't know what is.

(i've been saying something big was coming. just a question of what.)

Hello all. I have to take the GRE next Saturday. As this will be the exam that determines if I get into graduate school, I will be focusing on it with all my heart and soul. With that in mind, if you post something terribly personal and I don't respond, don't think I don't care. It just means I haven't read it yet. I have to stay focused on the big picture and I'll try to make it up to you next week..

One of the best Emperors that the Romans ever had and now he's been reduced to a font. Here's a very funny short film by Kirby Ferguson about Trajan and it's overuse in movies.
