heading out to see Harry Potter at midnight

[cornerofmadness]

This is the first time I've been in a theatre since HP and the Half Blood Prince...wow. Yeah I'm just not a movie goer.

I am at least happy that Netflix let me dump the streaming video off my account and now my in-mail dvds are cheaper than what I had been paying for it. I know Blockbuster is trying to capitalize on the pissed off Netflixers but I am STILL bitter over all the mistreatment I had at BB's hands. If they were all there was, I'd go PPV on my satellite.

Speaking of disappointing products, Trader Joe's frozen palak paneer, the spinach smelled and tasted fishy and there was no spice. the only good part of it was the paneer which i fished out of the unpalatable mass of green.

I had one student miss half the first week of class. He was 2 questions away from a perfect test (he's an art major so listen up art/english majors who try that as an excuse...) I had 4 students who were there every day so far and scored under 40% on test one. ah, that's the way to do it.

Several people have asked me in recent months to read two of my older stories and when bay115 asked tonight I realized that I had never linked chapter to chapter in these and it was a pain in the ass to find them in memories which might be why there are no comments from the new people who did ask. I have now linked them all up which was a job of work let me tell you.

Once I discovered the manga I wrote very little first anime stories and almost nothing post CoS since I hated it. These two are exceptions, a desperate attempt to make myself happier about that OVA (before we knew that FMA:B would exist). Anyhow, I still (and I think some of the people who read my stuff) think they were good stories. Here they both are (I was thinking about my next big bang being in this universe which brought this up.)

Source of Sorrow This is the first of them. Roy needs to pull his head out of his butt over the whole running away north crap and yes he survives the balloon ride...

Sorrow’s Dark Array The second story. It is independent of Source but characters from Source reappear here. This is a novel, just saying. This deals with Roy et al but also Ed and Al on Earth.





it's hard picking out which of these i want to show here

You see trees, I'm wondering what's that building in the background.

I love Source of Sorrow and Sorrow's Dark Array. XD

a shelter over a bench

thank you

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Oh? Interesting.

You're welcome. :D Between those two stories and The Light in the Upstairs Window, I have happy rereading times.

Now I need to reread your most recent Big Bang.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

yeah i tied my shoe in there

thanks. i need to reread that one myself AND get all three up on Ao3

and that one too

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I should put some of my really long fic up on AO3...definitely. I need to finish transferring M.T. there.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I still have very very little up there mostly because the foot traffic has not been worth my while

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I got three or four kudos today, which is pretty nifty.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

well that's something

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I think so.

Sorry about the Trader Joe's food -- I've not tried that one, so I guess I won't now. On the other hand, their frozen Tikka Masala is pretty good.

That garden is really gorgeous. We have to get up there someday.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

I'll try it. maybe it was just there too long or something it tasted very off.

it was worth the high price of admission

[bay115.livejournal.com]

Oh, thanks for linking those two stories! I'll slowly read the chapters and comment on them. :)I might be able to get started on Source of Sorrow tomorrow actually if there are not much entries coming for this writing contest I'm judging, haha.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

no problem. I've been meaning to do that forever. I need to put them up on Ao3 too

Source of Sorrow isn't that hideously long (well it is but nothing like Dark Array which is over 100K), they're not going anywhere

I am glad you provided those links. I know I had you email me the text at one point, and I still have it, but what I need to do is put it on my Kindle so I can read it wherever. Both the Source of Sorrow and Sorrow's Dark Array. I started to read them, and thought them very good... but then just got so busy and so far behind. Having the Kindle really helps me get caught up. Maybe tomorrow evening I can Kindleize them. I'll send you the files when they are done.

Both of these are complete stories are they not?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

and this time I'll try to remember my freaking mediafire password to share the kindlization if you want me to

yes they're both finished. Dark Array is over 100K long, dumb thing

[ishte.livejournal.com]

PS... I LOVE you photo for today... gorgeous! ♥♥♥

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

thanks. I just loved this garden

[sillymagpie.livejournal.com]

I go to a movie about once or twice a year, when it's something I want to see on the big screen. Otherwise, I wait for the DVD.

Too bad about the palak paneer. I love good palak paneer.

That garden is stupendous! It just goes on forever!

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's how I do it too usually but the local theatre isn't so hot and the nice one is 50 miles away

so do I was so I was highly disappointed

doesn't it though? We still have to get thru the Japanese garden and onto the Italian
