Yay!

Malin is away at work until 10 pm tonight. That is seven hours from now. I have just come home from town where I, using the ever so helpful coupon-book we bought last year, got myself two large pastasalads with bread and dressing for only 5 Euros. Yay for coupons! I also bought a bottle of passionfruit mineral water so now I'm all set for a day of writing! For the first time in a long time I actually feel excited about both Chasing Ian and Scarred. I have other stuff to do, write e-mail to my friend Lennie, finish writing feedback to Pecos for the last 2 chapters of Destiny and Design, and write an UA, (the latter I definitely have to do today, I think) but I will ignore those for now and simply indulge myself in my stories and the great food. Man I'm hungry. I didn't eat any breakfast as usual and I woke up 4 hours ago.

As for school we have got an assignment to make a fanzine. It can be as narrow as you want it to be and it must be highly personal. I've chosen to work on my own and make a fanzine about petit chou. I met with the teacher yesterday and he said that I have to make it more personal or else it will be no different from a cookbook. He suggested I include the story of how I started baking them after 9/11 when Malin had CNN on all the time and we were so depressed I wanted to bake some pastry to cheer us up and my eye caught sight of the petit chou recipe in Malin's weight watcher's cookbook. I borrowed the school’s digital camera and took pictures when Malin and I baked petit chou and filled them. All the texts are also finished and next week I'll just have to assemble it all in Adobe InDesign. Squee! I love school! I hope I finish it in time. Now I will eat my food. One salad is with rost beef and one is with chicken and they both have spinage pasta, vegetables and sour cream dressing in them. Mmm!

Give me your best shot

Got anything you've been dying to know but haven't had the guts to ask?
Now I offer the opportunity to ask me anything and I'll answer you truthfully. Be as blunt as you like but expect me to be equally blunt in my reply. Maybe you're just curious about something but haven't got around to ask. It can be small, it can be big, it can be serious it can be silly, it can be short, it can be long, but only one question. I've nothing to do, anyway. :-)

Ewww

The use of disgusting words and phrases in slash fiction never ceases to amaze me. I just read foreskin described as "the sleeve of flesh". Yuck.

Goes into pimp mode... now!

Posted this at All Fandom Recs so I thought I'd post it here as well.

"Prophecy, Destiny and Design" by Pecos is something as rare as an
exciting, intriguing and perfectly believable RPS AU in the LOTR fandom.
The plot may be outrageous at times but it's never over the top and
always executed with class and wit. The characterizations are wonderful
and the language is great. Original characters are heavily featured and
always fleshed out. This is one of those slash stories where there are
*actual* women, which is refreshing. There is tasteful angst, tasteful
sex, necessary violence and unexpected plot twists. One thing that is
consistent throughout the story is the humorous tone and irony. The
angst is sometimes almost unbearable, but the rich detail and anecdotes
will have you smiling... constantly.

I won't say anything else... but Peter Jackson actually *hits* someone.
Hilarious.

Bear in mind that this is a novel length story, which is up to 19
chapters so far. Trust me though, it will keep your interest up the
entire time.


Summary: the end of the world, cloning, top secret experiments,
religious cults, secret societies, former CIA-agents, evil government
