sundries

Despite a weekend that included a migraine, a really bad sunburn (ow!) and a UTI, we had an amazing weekend with food and shopping and lots of outdoor time and yet somehow not feeling too rushed and just... awesome.

Torchwood! Man, I'm worried, and I think it's going to be gutting, but I also think it's really going to honour the characters. For those of us that survived Potterdammerung, this is a nice change of pace. I will never stop being bitter about the Snake Bubble to the Head.

God bless Cipro. I still feel like shit, but I feel less like shit. Also, first time I've used the health insurance since I've had it over the last few years; nice to know it actually works, and that 24-clinic situation is pretty rad. No more whining about not having time to go to the doctor, and as awkward as it was, it wasn't as awkward as it could have been (and honestly, they were less dumb than Callen-Lorde (that, you know, finds lesbians boring) when the whole undiagnosed celiac thing went down).

When I've a moment, reviews of TW tie-in material; some fanfic I wrote on the beach yesterday (we must, I feel, examine Ianto's hatred of Delhi, and Jack's irritation with same, also I love putting the team on airplanes together, no idea why).

Gotta post various Stuff I Am Doing at Cons and Where I'm Going to Be announcements when I've half a brain.

Renewed my Broad Universe membership.

Garden update: 1 big Klari-Baby-Cheese pepper coming along well. Green Zebra tomatoes almost ready to eat. Buds on the three replacement tomato plants. At least three, and I think more, tiny tomatos on fourth tomato replacement plant. 2 tiny peppers on the Paprika that seem to be growing well, and flowers finally opening on the hot pepper plant. Herbs doing well. I think we've finally got this garden thing under control.

Patty is going to London for business in April 2010. I'm thinking of tagging along (exchange rate be damned) and popping up to Cardiff for a day or so. Dorky? Yes. But 1) when else would I do this? and 2) I almost went to Cardiff on vacation like five years ago for also dorky, but not DW/TW related reasons, so why the fuck not?

Still need to see Public Enemies.

Book sales are pretty rad right now. Last night there was "only 2 left in stock" on Amazon, then 1, then this morning they were back in stock, now there are only 4 left in with more on the way. I guess the new movie release is doing me some major favors. Oh hey, back down to 2! And now we're in stock again!

I am listening to Edith Piaf. That makes everything better.

Burbles about the ongoing fencing narrative are coming my way. Interesting burbles.

Okay, while the original Waffle House Challenge failed, a different challenge issued to a different friend about a different person of note didn't. Hahahahaah.
