it's too hot

[cornerofmadness]

Soul's upset by it. Kanda can't breathe and I'm melting. It should not be 92 in May. That is all.

It pretty much sapped my will to live. Seriously, I did laundry and I've done nothing since 2 pm. Not watch tv, not type, not anything, just sort of lied there in a puddle of goo wishing it were september. It's hard to explain how sick heat makes me.

For the life of me I can't remember who wanted to beta the Ed/Winry ptsd story bay115 or gaia_lulia I'm thinking it's the former. springkin is being a disappointment. I know my story prompts were picked up but so far only one was done unless I missed something.

Hmm I thought there were 6 Percy Jackson books but I picked up #5 today and see I am wrong. You know, in some ways you hate to see a series go BUT I just finished #10 in the Sookie Stackhouse (and I know there are 2 more, I THINK #12 is the last) and you're glad the author ends it before s/he sucks the life out of characters you love. God #10 was awful.


I found two things I wanted at B&N (just not at their prices) Steampunk Tarot and Shadowscape Tarot So I can put them in the drawer with the rest of the collection...

Since they have that 100 ways to say Fuck You thing up on the LJ page (ironic) is Vas te faire enculo really French for Fuck you? (I need it for Temple who is in a mood). It looks like vaffanculo which is more or less fuck you in the ass in Italian.

Yeah I was the one that volunteered to beta your Ed/Winry ptsd story. If you're down with it already you can send it to me now and I'll look through it after dinner (California's time zone is slow, LOL). Otherwise send it to me when you're ready.

thought so thanks. Not done. maybe tomorrow. I appreciate it.

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Oooo. Grabby hands at the Tarot decks. Mmmm.

I'm sorry it's being so hot where you live. It's not been too terribly bad here yet. YET.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

aren't they nice?

this sucks. I'm having to use my summer sucks tag and it's NOT SUMMER

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

They're very nice. I still want to know where the rest of my tarot decks are. *pout*

I'm still getting eaten by bugs. D:

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

i finally found mine then lost it again

yes same here. why can't it be october?

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

I saw my dragon deck, but that's just one of...A LOT.

Well, then your trip would be over and stuff.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

right. did you bring them?

you know, i'm good with that

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

That's a silly question. They got moved, I just don't know what happened to them after that. Along with at least three toy animals.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

houses eat stuff (like we never did find my prescription sunglasses before either of us moved)

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

They do. It's very sad, but I guess houses get hungry.

I just hope Sis KS's house didn't eat my toy horse/dogs.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

apparently

yeah good luck

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

If it has, I'll never get them back. If you think my place is cluttered, it's nothing on hers.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

oh good lord

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Her dining room before we moved Sis KP in with her was nothing but boxes, once KP moved in, it was boxes squared.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

special

[evil-little-dog.livejournal.com]

Oh, yes.

[sp23.livejournal.com]

It was really nice here. Not too warm at all.

If it makes you feel any better, Riordan is writing a sequel to the Percy Jackson books, The Heroes of Olympus, and I'm really enjoying them, too. There are two books out already with the third due in October.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's what mom said of the pittsburgh area. it was like 85 before 11 here.

yes I know that but forgot the series name so thank you.

[scribesds.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow – I love the steampunk cards. I adore steampunk stuff, though I’ve not read any of the novels yet.

I’m sorry its so hot for you. It’s supposed to be warm here but its been horrid – cold and damp and windy, more like winter than summer. I don’t think we’re going to get any this year.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

Aren't they cool? Frankly most of the steampunk novels I've read have not worked for me unfortunately.

oh good. I'll be happy as heck then to be in Wales.

[scribesds.livejournal.com]

I heard something about you coming to Wales but I missed the details. When, why, and for how long?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

soon (still working out the details)

I'm the Madog fellow and have a grant to do research on the standing stones in Wales

not sure yet

[scribesds.livejournal.com]

I’d heard they had standing stones but I’ve never seen them. Or been to Wales, for that matter!

Let me know when you’ve got some details, if you don’t mind, I’d be very interested to know.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

coming from America, which is so big and we're SO mobile, it amazes me that you have never been to Wales (I mean it's smaller that the state I grew up in)

Most of the stones are in the north and on Angelesy.

just keep watching my blog I'll be talking all about it.

Also I'm trying hard to avoid the freaking Olympics in London

[scribesds.livejournal.com]

Husband’s not a big traveller so we haven’t had many holidays. Unfortunately. Wales is… maybe 6 hours by car from us. You think your trip will be this year?

I hear you about the Olympics. We’re trying to ignore it as well! London is around 60 miles from us, so you can bet that we’ll get some of the overflow down here…

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

my aunt and uncle were like that, not travelers. I'm all over the damn place.

my trip will be june/july

oh you surely will. I plan (at the moment) to fly into Manchester

[scribesds.livejournal.com]

Manchester sounds a good bet. You plan on travelling next month?? Wow! Isn’t that exciting! Are you going to be by yourself?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

that's the problem. I do NOT want to be driving all around north Wales then going out into the woods/fields by myself. I'm trying to arrange a tour

[scribesds.livejournal.com]

Yes, good idea. How's that going?

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

not so well. It's hard to find groups that go to just the stones. I found two but the trips are in the middle of my work. I don't get vacations (because I'm off all summer).

I'm struggling to find a group that would go to these places just any old time. If worse comes to worse, I'll just go to Angelesy and drive. I mean how much trouble can I get into on an island?

[scribesds.livejournal.com]

*Cough* *Cough* water…. *Cough**Cough*

I’d have thought you’d be fine – you always seem pretty capable. I’d guess it would be really difficult to find somebody to go just when you need to anyway.

[cornerofmadness.livejournal.com]

true. somehow me, driving on the opposite side of the road = car in ocean (or dead in a roundabout)

It is but there are some places that do personalized tours. It's what I need to look into
