I am tickled by the new Sheba cat food advert:
I just don't understand why the woman is getting dressed again. That is a man after my own heart right there, I'd tap that. The cat is welcome to watch. I'm used to that. :D
P.S. For extra hilarity see the youtube comments about how horrible it is to see men being objectified like that in TV. Ahahahaha oh fucking cry me a river.

Three quotes on hope this Sunday, because I've been reading and thinking about it lately:
"Hope alone is to be called 'realistic', because it alone takes seriously the possibilities with which reality is fraught. It does not take things as they happen to stand or lie, but as progressing, moving things with possibilities of change ... Thus hopes and anticipations of the future are not a transfiguring glow superimposed upon a darkened existence, but are realistic ways of perceiving the scope of our real possibilities, and as such they set everything in motion and keep it in state of change. Hope and the kind of thinking that goes with it consequently cannot submit to reproach of being utopian, for they do not strive after things that have 'no place', but after things that have 'no place yet' but can acquire one." (Moltmann, 1967: 25, original emphasis)

"Active Hope is about becoming active participants in bringing about what we hope for. Active Hope is a practice. Like tai chi or gardening, it is something we do rather than have. It is a process we can apply to any situation, and it involves three key steps. First, we take a clear view of reality; second, we identify what we hope for it in terms of the direction we'd like things to move in or the values we'd like to see expressed; and third, we take steps to move ourselves or our situation in that direction. Since Active Hope doesn't require our optimism, we can apply it even in areas where we feel hopeless. The guiding impetus is intention; we choose what we aim to bring about, act for, or express. Rather than weighing our chances and proceeding only when we feel hopeful, we focus on our intention and let it be our guide." (Macy & Johnstone, 2012: 3, original emphasis)

"Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in a lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope. Nothing that is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore, we are saved by love. No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our firend or foe as it is from our standpoint. Therefore we must be saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness." (Niebuhr, 1952: 63)

Greetings from Manchester. Work conference was very meh overall, though there were some interesting papers and mine went well, but... I've been to other conferences that have been much better and this one I just left feeling tired, rather than inspired and energised as you're supposed to. Well, I did manage to catch up my old PhD supervisors and friend K, so that was great. And now I'm staying for a couple of days of hanging out with![[livejournal.com profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
trialia, moth2fic and fledge. Which is good.
This downtime has also given me chance to a) empty my work inbox and b) catch up with personal comments and emails. In the process of this I've also been browsing journals and tumblrs, following from one link to another, and collecting shiny things and links.
( Here, have so awesomeness )

Today is the first day of Lent, and while I'm not particularly religious or even spiritual, it does provide a nice, well-defined period for abstinence. So, what is it that I'm giving up? I considered meat, but I don't really eat enough of it in the first place for that to be particularly meaningful. Same goes for alcohol as I only tend to drink socially and go for weeks on end without anyway. But then, an idea! And I'm making this public as well so I can feel peer-pressure to follow through :D
For Lent, I'm giving up... Reading Fanfic For Pleasure.
That's right! Here are my reasons: almost all of my current 'for pleasure' reading is fanfic, which means it's been way too long since I've had time/focus for books. And I really want to go back to reading books, because I have several in my bookshelves, just waiting for me (both fiction and work related stuff). In addition to book, there is a lot of TV and films I want to catch up on! I also want to devote more time to creative things like writing and graphics. Work has been stupidly busy and fanfic is the current 'easy treat' option to enjoy what spare time I have but I'm hoping to break out of that rut a little.
There are exceptions and stipulations of course. What I'm giving up is reading fanfic for pleasure, meaning...
- Writing fanfic is allowed and indeed encouraged *eyes wip folder*
- Reading fanfic for purposes of beta work is allowed
- Reading fanfic because I'm doing art for it is allowed (yay![[livejournal.com profile]](http://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
smallfandombang!)
- Skimming already-read fics for the purposes of writing a rec is allowed (actually, I don't have to do even this a lot because a week of fic rec posts is almost done and I'll timer those posts soon)
So, wish me luck and creativity! I'm acutely aware I'm well due another RL update and hope to get to that soonish...

Nordic communication

Thanks toverdande_mi for linking this! I haven't laughed as much for a while. Like verdande_mi, I'm not sure how funny this is for non-Nordics but to me it was hilarious! A short stand-up clip about Nordic communication, 90% in English - do check it out! :D:D:D The bit about Finnish mosquitos at the end made me laugh until I cried!

On buttermilk and other things
Jan. 20th, 2016 06:24 pm***
Alas, further investigation - based solely on one Amazon review - suggests that while the book is very real, the particular section on buttermilk bosoms and galloping abs here is a hoax. You may be relieved. You may be disappointed. Personally, I'M A LITTLE BIT BOTH :D Regardless, that was the best laugh I'd had in a while and I will be adopting 'enter it like it's a lottery' into my active vernacular. 'Kat, we're going over here. - Oh, that building? I'M GONNA ENTER IT LIKE IT'S A LOTTERY!' 'Oh, you're about to take a bath? - Oh no, no, no! I'M GOING TO ENTER IT LIKE IT'S A LOTTERY!' The possibilities!
In other news I have had one shorter day, another long day, and today sort of medium day, followed by 12h day tomorrow and then going to have to work Saturday so... Uh, I'm around in theory? I am thinking I'll do a week of fic recs next week because I have them almost ready and that would be... something.
Right, now I'm going to wash dishes and make myself a jacket potato. Exciting times!

I found this via Tumblr but the original post there is flocked so can't link. However, the excerpt is from a real book, Sandra Hill's Rough and Ready. You can find another exerpt via the website, but this one below is... special. Enjoy.
ETA: maybe a hoax but still funny :D

Her long hair, still wet from the shower, had been combed down her back in a wet swath. Hilda was sitting on the floor, her round, wet boobs still wet from the shower’s water. She dried off the water with a towel, which then became wet.
Hilda gasped when she saw a reflection in her bedroom mirror: through the slightly open door, she caught a glimpse of the chiseled abs and square jaw of the mysterious stranger who shared her cabin. She stood and spun around, her breasts swinging heavily with the momentum. She grabbed the door and flung it open, revealing shirtless Torolf (which is seriously his name) quivering with desire in the hallway.
Torolf was ashamed at being caught, but his shame made him even hotter – hotter for sex. He stepped into the room, and his bulging abs accidentally smushed into Hilda’s rich chest.
As Hilda’s buttermilk bosoms squished up against his granite abs, Torolf almost had a dick aneurysm.
“Hilda,” Torolf murmured thickly, his throbbing meat wand pressing against Hilda’s warm thighs. “There is a secret I need to not tell you: You are my forbidden desire.”
Hilda had been waiting to hear these words. Her heart was lifted on golden wings and soared toward a radiant sun of perfect joy. She saw herself and Torolf happy together, bathed in the golden light of love. Her snooch got all warm, too.
“Torolf,” Hilda moaned, her lush teats straining with desire. “I need you.”
Torolf, coarse abs pulsing softly in the moonlight, stood silently.
Hilda looked at him expectantly.
“Oh, sorry,” she added. “Torolf, I need you – sexually.”
At hearing those beautiful words, Torolf flexed his rough-hewn abs and Hilda found herself being guided to her soft bed by the sheer force of Torolf’s undulating midsection. She parted her thighs in anticipation, exposing the soft pink petals of her clunge.
Torolf entered her like she was a lottery. His engorged pecker pushed inside her and she felt fulfilled with sexual fulfillment.
Hilda clutched at the bedsheets with lust and ecstasy and her hands. Her spongy love mountains hurled to and fro with each pounding. Her body was like a beautiful flower that was opening and somebody was pushing their dick inside it.
Then Torolf moaned, arched his back, and suffered from dick Parkinson’s. He pumped in all of his hot pearlescent sperms as Hilda spasmed with so many orgasms!
The two lay still for a moment as the stinky scent of lovemaking billowed around the room.
Hilda got out of bed, still shimmering with orgasm. She glowed with contentment, like a cat who ate the cream of the crop.
She walked across the room and picked up her towel, still wet with shower water. “Torolf,” she said softly, “there’s something I have to tell you…”
But her bed was empty.
Torolf was gone, escaped out the bedroom window. In the distance, Hilda heard the fading sound of galloping abs.

Sometimes your body and mind like to remind you of things. For example, that guy on TV who you've thought is kind of cute and funny, but you know, not that special, suddenly gets on his knees, and in a blink of an eye both your brain and libido stand to attention like a hound with a scent and...
Yeah, despite occasional switchy forays, still toppy as all fuck. Cheers for the reminder.

End of July
Jul. 31st, 2013 10:21 pm***
Today I have made some marginal progress with my teaching study portfolio (which I am now less than affectionately calling 'Reflect on This' assignment in my head), been a victim of banana theft (I can't prove it but I know it happened) and finished writing over 5k of Harry/Draco tentacle porn which I have sent off tomargaret_r for beta.
Today is also the last day of July and thus the last and 31st day on consecutive posting I have done this month, together withpushkin666 and lolabobs joined in on the fun at some point too. It's been... hard at times to find something different to post about every day, especially when my touchpad was acting up a lot and trying my patience (it's much better now btw, thank fuck) but it's been pretty awesome too and has pushed me to post things that I probably would have procrastinated over much longer otherwise, including the most awesome porn meme which was a lot of fun!
I hope you've enjoyed at least some of the posts and aren't too sick of me yet. Thank you to everyone who has commented and thank you to everyone who brightens up my flist with their own posts. I'll be taking a little bit of a breather from posting, but guaranteed I can't stay away from it too long, as I have things that are still in the queue.
So, maybe a little preview of What Next?

- summer challenge fics for lewis_challenge and evilsam_spn when I have, erm, actually written them
- more 50 Books Challenge
- more 50 Recipes Challenge
- undoubtedly more real life whining
- requested icons from here - btw if you said you'd be back to leave me a picture/text prompt and you haven't yet, now would be the time. There are also still three open request places left.
- Week of Poetry on boneverse, although I will probably combine a masterlist of sorts on this journal too. Details here if you are interested in joining me for that 5-11 of August.

laptop issues
Jul. 23rd, 2013 06:20 pm***
Today's post is pretty to say that I can't properly post or write on the laptop again because the touchpad is doing its own thing again. I think it is the heat and humidity that are contributing to the problem and that it'll be better tomorrow. Otherwise I will probably have a tantrum.

It has been hot as balls today, way too hot to brain properly. Way, way too hot to sit in the meetings and in buses as I've been doing for most of the day. Thankfully, the weather is set to break tomorrow.
I have a ton of work to churn out over the next three weeks and very variable levels of motivation to do it. Ah well.
This post is devoid of substance. Instead, have some...( cat macros )

Well. I was going to post some photos or book reviews or maybe ramble about my holiday or, say, how I got commended on the external examiner's report for an 'innovative' practice on assessment (I totally did but it totally wasn't that innovative, bless my tiny university) but...
But.
I've gotten four spam comments today all on payday loans and while I have grown increasingly irritated by them, they have also become increasingly hilarious. Below is the latest. With scathing commentary.
***
Subject: What you need to do to released a hasty Online Loans 727
