Fate doesn't want me to have dinner

[cornerofmadness]

Well I do need to lose weight... I made a celebratory dinner a day early (tomorrow is the last day of class then finals). Only to find out my butter was rancid. ALL of my butter including the sticks still in the freezer (yes, i'll be looking for the receit) So that was ruined. Made due. Tried to supplement what was left with leftover gnocchi only to find a BONE in the sauce. At first I thought it was another tooth but no. So I'm up to two huge hunks of bone and two rubber glove tips found in my food in the last 6 years. God. Wish I could grow it all.

I did make salsa today though and the only thing I didn't grow was the onions and cilantro (well I did the latter but it died when i moved it into our crappy greenhouse)

I suddenly got sad. I don't know why. Well okay not sad. Just simply started crying and I'm fairly sure it's hormones. Then I saw one of the h.s. people i just reconnected with post about her mom having alzheimer's and my stuff didn't seem so bad. For that matter, talked to my brother too and he's just really sick with his ulcerative colitis. Poor Mom, between her mother in the nursing home and her two kids both pretty damn ill from incurable, chronic illnesses she has to be pretty stressed.

But in good news 12_daysofficmas is open. This is NOT JUST ANIME for all the other people on my flist. Any fandom you want (any new Holmes fanficcers? the only new show that I know people were into, how about some old school Buffy or Star Trek). It doesn't have to just be fic either but it has to be something YOU did, no reccs

and bob_fish did a speed beta on my se_ladyfest fic. THANK YOU. Wanna beta an anatomy test. Or how about writing it for me?



or so I assume since it was posted via phone. our walmart just doesn't get it.






what is it with my tub and cats? And yes it IS impossible to get lime scale off a cheap ass plastic tub so we learn to live with it....

Kanda loves Soul...

Jewish people like ham, too, right? RIGHT??

Awwww, Soul and Kanda. XD

I have no words, really.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

they do. just ask walmart

Kanda is like this is the bestest place ever. just wait til she fills it with bubbles

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Yup. Walmart is god.

hahahaha, you show him around, Kanda.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

it would like to think so

I have to. He's my little brother- kanda

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I'm sure it already thinks it is?

Aww, you're a good big bro, Kanda.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

you're probably right

Kanda played with him for hours

[havocmangawip.livejournal.com]

HAHHHHHHHH! HAM!

My Catholic boifurendo had more Kosher offerings...

Well nom salad with blue cheese and balsamic and matzo ball soup. :)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

walmart rocks...

oooo hand me that salad

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

Crying because of hormones and dinner problems. ::hugs::

Hanukkah ham. ::bangs head against wall:: Somehow I'm not surprised Wal-Mart is that clueless.

My sister once worked for a cleaning agency, and I think they used phosporic acid to remove lime scale. It was something a normal person couldn't get and shouldn't use.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

dumb hormones

not surprised either by walmart

hahaha i could get acid from our lab no problem but it would probably eat this cheap tub

[seatbeltdrivein.livejournal.com]

Rubber glove tips and bones? Rancid butter? D: I think at this point, no one would fault you for getting some fast food. God knows I'd be out of my mind.

...Wow. Walmart, you're doing it wrong! :\ They're going to get some terrible complaints about that, I'd bet.

12_daysofficmas looks fun! I'm tempted to participate. Thanks for pointing that out.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

haha that would take me driving a min of 10 miles to get it. i'm too lazy

you know, I'm not even sure there are enough Jewish people here to notice. It's frighteningly homogenized here

it is fun. i did it last year and evil_little_dog is the mod

[seatbeltdrivein.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, for real? You poor thing! Haha, I'd be too lazy too, I guess, if that was the case. But we have a McD's every mile or so from where I am XD

I'm going to give it a try, I think. If I start writing now, I can probably produce enough fic to get through all twelve days!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and that is to Mickey D's which i wont' eat at and a Subways. it's 15 or more to fast food I might eat (well I eat subways but I'm sick of them)

hahaha I figure i'll be double dutying several for fanfic_bakeoff

[winters-queen.livejournal.com]

Two of our cats love to play. The one likes it so much that we hear her chirping away and thing someone is up there but when we go and check on her, no she's ALL by herself having a party in the tub. Roomie thinks she likes it because she can slide all over the place.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that could be. they seem to like that tub

[rain-oubliette.livejournal.com]

My friend Barb is Jewish. I forget where she worked at the time but one Xmas she was given a ham. *Facepalm*j

Awww... kitties....

I looked at one fic request site. People wanted Sherlock Holmes fic, but most didn't specify _which_ Sherlock. Doyle's original? The Downey movie? Jeremy Brett's BBC version? The new Benedict Cumberbatch BBC version? I don't think anybody's asking for Basil Rathbone Sherlock fic, but how would I know from reading their requests? Anyone filling these requests, unless it's straight-up 'ship fic with no mystery involved, would be insane, by the way. Holmes stories are _hard_ to do unless you're A. Conan Doyle, and they probably weren't that easy even for him.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yes I have to admit mostly Sherlock Holmes fanfic seems to be mostly Holmes and Watson doing the slap and tickle

[silvrethorn.livejournal.com]

Sigh. Then again, since respected professional writers have attempted Holmes stories and failed, maybe we're all better off with unambitious "between cases, between the sheets" stories.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

this is true. I couldn't make it thru the first laurie king mrs. sherlock holmes mystery. maybe i was in a bad mood but it was rather dull

[silvrethorn.livejournal.com]

Ha! I ran across one of those Mrs. Holmes things in my repair stack and browsed it. You weren't in a grumpy mood. They're just mediocre (and the concept made my toes curl anyway, ugh!)

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and the concept made my toes curl anyway, ugh

that too. I was shocked the Baker Street crew that has kept SUCH a tight hold on all things Holmesian allowed it.

If anything it should have been Irene Adler as the wife

[silvrethorn.livejournal.com]

It's not Adler who's the wife??? I didn't pay any attention to the name. I just assumed it was Irene. I can't imagine who else he would theoretically marry.

Do the Baker Street bunch have any actual legal firepower, or has Holmes gone into the public domain? I'm sure reputable writers using the character would want Baker Street's blessing, but I don't know that they actually _need_ them anymore.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no i don't believe it is Adler. i could be wrong.

They USED to have legal firepower but I think that may have ended
