Happy Fat Thursday, y'all

[winter]

When you're on a diet, Fat Thursday sucks. So I coped by switching my allotted two 200-300 calorie meals to two rose-jam filling donuts and eating a faworek instead of the protein bar :>

I really don't understand how people can eat donuts that don't have rose-jam filling and candied orange peel on top, you know.

In other news, work killed me dead and Gerald Tarrant administered the coup de grace by deciding he doesn't feel like plodding through his conversation with Narilka again, but instead wants the first-time story I promised I'd write for him. Got a 1000 words of it done today, and they haven't even laid eyes on each other yet. Anyone want to take a very pushy muse off my hands?

*grumbles* If I start ficcing this, I am going to blame you entirely and send legions of plot bunnies your way. Many plot bunnies! In legions! With good aim! And big, nasty pointy teeth!

(And sometimes, online shopping is insane - I'm only paying 7 quid for the books, but 8 for postage *boggles*)

Put it this way: you read them, and then you can bunny me with Coldfire. And Gerald will make sure I write them, too git.

Knowing him, he'll probably evolve a new and improved race of plotbunnies, too ~_~

(Agh. No way you could have gotten them cheaper? I think Amazon does that free UK delivery over 15 quid deal - same money, a few more books...)

*grins* But that would be nice :D And incurring the favour of your characters ;) I shall need to consider this more earnestly, because hee! I love to instigate so :D

Oh! Also, can you drop me a line with where to send your Shadows book to? ;) And would you object to having a couple of episodes of StarGate so you see the pretty I intend to force on you? :D

(As for getting them cheaper, I flailed about on all my favourite online stores and that was the best deal I could get. To get them on Amazon would have been 8 quid each and that was the second-hand editions. I also looked in every book shop and second hand shop in my town, to see if there was a vague chance they were stocked, but apparently, no :-S So, on the whole, it isn't too bad for 3 brand spanking new books. And definitely alot cheaper than importing them :))

...I'm going to regret this, aren't I? And I already have at least four Coldfire fics to write...

You're still using the darkfyre81 addy, right? Mail sent :)

(Proof again that Amazon.co.uk sucks, and not only for charging something like 18 pounds per delivery to Poland. I got them at Amazon.de for 7 euro each, brand new.)

*grins* At times like this, I suspect I could probably use an 'But I'm honestly harmless and innocent. Mostly' icon ;)

And yep, that would be my main address because I'm a lazy cow and having msn pop up mail arrivals for me saves me the effort of... well, opening the account unnecessarily :D

(Amazon can sometimes, but not very often, be fabulous for sales etc. I have just found abebooks.co.uk - yay for second-hand and imported book shops online :D I think I've just found where my salary is about to be redirected to)

At least by the time you get and read them, I should be finished with the two most pressing ones. Maybe even a rewrite of another pivotal scene, too :)

I just have my mail client automatically check every 15 minutes, and usually click on "get messages" more often anyway if I know I'm getting LJ comments...

It's always nice to know there's mail impending, isn't there? :) I used to be the same about snail mail as well, which certainly goes a long way to explaining the 50 odd penpals I collected in my early teens :D

[winter]

I always wanted a penpal, but never got one, mostly because there's always such a long line at our post office ;)
