- Patty has a weekend off and so is in a town, so we got to talk for ages today online and she got to hear the recording I did of Cheek to Cheek (which wasn't even a song she was actually familiar with more than faintly) for her and will be able to download the long voice letter I did for her last night later. It was a good happy thing.

- Work $ drama continues.

- 20 days.

- The HP fandom (or at least my corner of it) is about people trying to be really smart in the face of the end of the world. The DW/TW fandom is about being trying to have damn good time in the face of the end of the world, because that reminds you of why you've got to save it.

- Still owe you a fencing post.

- the Live Long and Marry Auctions I'm involved in are now up to $336

Isn't it awesome? So appropriate for so many made of fail situations.

It's a quote from the tie-in novel that is pretty much the universally loved one.

Would that be "Twilight Streets"?

None of my local bookstores have it, sigh, so I must resort to Amazon...

That would be it. It's totally awesome, especially if you're into Jack/Ianto and but you're not interested in some de-fanged kinder, gentler Jack or for that matter, poor, long-suffering Ianto. These are two grownups who are very capable of standing up to each other's bullshit.

Also, Bilis Manger is a major plotpoint.

It's a quote from Jack in one of the tie-in novels from back when he was working for TW as a contractor because that was the only way to keep them from trying to dissect him or whatever.

$3323.50 was yesterday's total, so I think we're holding up our end here.
Of course there will be a major bump after the 15th. If we pass the $50,000 mark in just two weeks, I submit for your approval the idea that we (Gr8ter Fandom and the Geek Nation) should stop mucking about, and just make George Takei POTUS!
Ha ha, only really.

If we go past 50K this deserves a mainstream media article.

I don't know. I know someone from an online forum elsewhere who works in CA in radio -- he might know who we can harass would be interested in this sort of story. I was already talking to a Star Trek slasher who is doing a similar fundraiser with other Star Trek people there.

1. you are unspeakably cheesy and cute, you two.

2. i am having flashbacks of late-night wanderings through the streets of Storied University Town with a group of slightly tipsy folks, singing that very song, and one member of the group stopping and annoucing that she had to piss like a racehorse, and everyone breaking into completely hysterical giggles. it's an excellent song for many, many occasions.

3. wishing I had moneys for bidding.

This kinda gave me goosebumps.
Yes. It fits.
