elrhiarhodanA 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
