Random Sh*t and Pimping
A selection of random things that have happened today.
Women's Apparel
Wore socks and closed shoes today. For the first time since mid-April. Felt really weird. Constricted, closed off. Fall is coming...can winter be far behind? After the endless heat this summer, I can't wait. Hell, I wouldn't mind retiring to International Falls, MN
Execprod, you've angered me
Got something in the mail today, and am insanely pissed off. My autographed Tim DeKay Peter Burke FBI cards. I bought a few of them, and paid an exorbitant amount for postage ($21.60). The package was supposed to be Priority Mail and insured. It came in a plain white envelope, uninsured and the total postage was $.44. I've written to the seller asking for refund of the excess postage. I'd hate to have to register a complaint with eBay and Paypal. And believe me, I will. I love the show...but there are lines that just shouldn't be crossed.
ETA - Heard from ExecProd, apologizing, and he'll be issuing me a full refund.
Fan Fiction, where art thou?
If you are wondering if I've gotten my writing mojo back, I am pleased to say, fuck YEAH! But you may be wondering, where is it? It's still a work in progress, at nearly 20k. I've never, ever written such a long single, continuous narrative (Vampire World is a serial, not a single story). I hope to finish it tonight. Does anyone want to beta a future!fic?
Also, when I finish the FIC THAT SWALLOWED ME WHOLE, would anyone like to play in another promptfest?
From the small world files
About two years ago, my dad was in a minor fender bender. The other party wasn't hurt and no police report was filed. Two days before the statute of limitations expired, the bastard sued. Got a call from the insurance company's attorney this evening. The guy tells me his name and I can't believe it. I ask if he has a sister, "L" - and he does. Turns out I went to daycamp with the guy, 32 years ago. His last name is very uncommon, and I had a nickname for him - "Shoeshine Boy." He live about ten minutes away. Snorf.
It's Pimping Time

krazykipper , and co-modded by rabidchild67 and yours truly, is opened and taking signups through September 25th. It's a fic swap for the first round, and it's going to be a lot of fun. I hope you'll all sign up.

Are you in the path of that monster storm? Or is everywhere in NZ in the path? Are you all battened down? Be safe.

The whole country is getting wacked but it's not much worse than most spring storms. Had to take the plants in off the balcony and there's some power outages but it's not too bad. Mainly it's the poor bastards in Christchurch still sweeping up the earthquake rubble that are getting hit hard.
