Greetings and salutations! (I occasionally use that greeting at the start of a lecture and it always makes the wee 18-year-olds look slightly alarmed, it's great)
Anyway. In a combined effort to liven up LJ, both![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
pushkin666 and I will be posting something every day in the month of July. *pauses to give you time to digest the momentous joy this no doubt elicits* For an organised schedule of ficlets, memes, pictures, writing prompts etc you should head over to pushkin666's journal. Here on my journal you will encounter the usual, only now at more frequent rate: disorganised rambling, whining, and occasional fic.
I've been enjoying a week's epic holiday withpushkin666 during which we, among other things, did tequila shots, sang power ballads, slashed historical figures, scored a free penthouse stay for a night, and oh yes, finished our first novel :D More on all of those later this week, including photos. Today was a first day back at "work", meaning I sat in the garden with a laptop, catching up with emails and faffing about with a lot of other stuff that felt necessary but probably didn't actually progress anything.
Still, I got so distracted by writing up awesome essay questions that by the time I looked up I would've had to run to make it to the train I need to catch for my belly-dancing class. So, that's a second week on a row I skipped that. I did, however, finally tested out my new Wii Fit Plus. I have some minor gripes with it, mainly that I can't change from imperial to metric on measurements, and that I can't delete the previous owners' avatars as they are password protected. Still, the exercises themselves were fun the few I tried tonight, although I'm undeniably crap at most things. Still, it was enjoyable and I am certain I'll get on it regularly.
Right, I can't actually think straight any more (the weather is making me muzzy and headachy) so it's time to eat my last pancake and sign off for tonight.

on 2013-07-02 09:53 am (UTC)I'll be interested to hear more about the novel but I'm not offering to read/beta/proof read. I'm supposed to be writing, and I mustn't take on any more distractions...
no subject
on 2013-07-02 07:56 pm (UTC)I'll tell more about the novel on a post at some point this month when calling for alpha/beta readers. Totally understand the need to focus on your own writing at the moment so no worries. I have two challenge fics to magic into existence this month so... lalala...
