- It's snowing

- The absence of Patty is deeply peculiar, even as we're more used to the patterns of her comings and goings with both the holidays (we planned in advance!) and her dig this year. Expect me to be more mopey about this after she leaves the country.

- My mther's retirement means the end of the unbelievable discounts at the famous jewlery store. Which means I think I have to go there for some of my holiday shopping this year. I am so behind.

- Wow, I should really write my Yuletide fic, since it's due tomorrow.

-IHNIIHBT. Jesus fucking Christ. This story is making me shed a lot of complicated timey-wimey tears. It'll be making me shed a lot of Editing Is Evil tears soon.

- Random strangers on LJ need to not confuse irritation with cowardice. It's not even noon and some asshole called me a coward!

- Why people write shitty Torchwood Christmas fic: Ianto is on their Christmas wishlist.

- Why people should write shitty Torchwood Christmas fic: how rad would Jack's coat look in the snow?

- Snow: actually sucks.

- Randomly: curry and kabobs!

- See's order arrived.

It's pre-series Jack/OC. It's tentacle sex, so while the OC is female, that's sort of irrelevant; for fuck's sake, it has tentacles, a lot of tentacles. It's completely ridiculous. If the porn doesn't make you hot (and it is hot!), the sun and sand description factor will at least thaw some of your winter misery. Worth it just for Jack being somewhat unnerved, totally enthusiastic and using a ridiculous endearment in a completely heart-melting way.

I am really not kidding about the tentacles.

LJ Idol: it's that time again!

This week's vote is here: http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/212319.html

Please read lots of entries and spread the love around. If you missed it, tsarina told her unbelievably awesome monkey story. I love the monkey story. It makes me shake with horrified laughter. Also, more people should be reading bodlon in general, so I prod you in his general direction.

Also, if you haven't really had time to check out entries, this week you have until Tuesday at noon!

Thanks.

One of the really shitty things that happened when our house got robbed is that my pocket watch got stolen. It wasn't a good watch or anything (unlike the wrist watch, which I can't even talk about), but I liked it, it was loyal (the loyalty of watches matters in my family, as my father pretty much stops any watch he puts on instantly, so we must beware of wonkiness), and I had a small fob on it that one of the people in my head was fond of in the form of a pendant from Wyrding Studios. I'm really pissed about the whole thing.

I don't have a new watch yet, although it is on the holiday wishlist. But I did find my new fob today (photo waaaaaaaaaaaay bigger than actual size):
