weight off week 17

very late and well what point is there for me any more? Sigh. still on the plateau.

Here's another recipe. It's from the weight watchers book. It's a little more carb heavy than I usually put up but it's tasty and it's a very good way to use up left over chicken.

April Book/DVD round up

We know the drill. Here's what I've read and watched all month. Check out the links for reviews. Feel free to chat with me about any of them. We all know how much I enjoy that.

Manga: Dogs: Bullets & Carnage #5

Books: The Crowfield Curse Manga: Afterschool Charisma #2, Grand Guignol Orchestra #1

Books:Escape From the Land of Snows: The young Dalai Lama’s harrowing flight to Freedom & the making of a Spiritual Hero

Books: A Most Contagious Game Manga: Raiders #4

Books: Incarceron Manga: Natsume’s Book of Friends vol 2

Manga: Grand Guignol Orchestra #2

There were no true clunkers in this set of books. Crowfield Curse and Incarceron are very enjoyable YA's.


DVDS/Movies (i.e. watch me not get my money's worth from netflix this month, too busy to watch anything)

Moribito vol 7

Moribito vol 8

What can I say, April is a busy time but these two are excellent. It's the last two volumes of a very touching anime. It's worth renting the series.

writing and TV

Law and Order Criminal Intent ( spoilers, does anyone know )

I don't care what anyone says about the stars on this DWtS's, it's about the only time I've ever watched more than 5 minutes of it. Ralph and Kristie are inspiring with their age and/or weight. And the dances are really good. I do love ballroom dancing. I could do without seeing them train.


Now on to the writing

my gift in the remix challenge This is very good. I'm very happy with what my remixer has done. Please read, if you like BtVS/AtS stories.

My story, the one that was remixed you can find here. It's Dead End. I can't believe it's 10 years old already. YIKES. I wrote this when a chunk of my flist was still in elementary school. Whimpers.


For the life of me I can't remember if I've recced this story seaweed_fma wrote for me for the fmagiftexchange. I think so but you can't ever rec enough.

Alpha and Omega (it's royai)


Also I STILL need to put up the kindle version of my big bang that ishte did. I just haven't had time.

read this if you want to use guns in your story It's a send up of all the stupid stuff that drives me crazy in action flicks. Love it.

TO DO LIST:

vgift exchange story for seatbeltdrivein - progress 0

help_japan NCIS story for marlex - still one page, ditto the original fiction for wintersqueen

continue space pirates - 3,667. Yeah and they've barely even met. Bet I have WAY more story than word count. whimpers.

that list looks too short...is suspicious


I had a very odd meditation session today. For a moment I thought my eyes were open and a black and white mini schnauser was standing by my printer stand. He was very pretty but why would he be here? Though ELD might like to know (if she already doesn't) Bruce Li liked that breed.

ETA - mjaedin's newest book is due out this week. check it out. Paper Airplanes
