• I just finished reading My Life in France, by Julia Child and Alex Prud'homme, and I loved it. Who doesn't love Julia? I grew up watching her on PBS, and to this day my mother does a terrific imitation of her dropping the turkey, picking it up, and continuing to cook it. She was a fascinating woman and oh my, what a life she led.
  
  I also fell in love with her husband, Paul -- he reminded me a lot of my husband Webster, though Paul was in better health. The book is full of pictures that Paul took, and a few of them both; here is my favorite:
  
  

I just renamed the files on teland because a rather gratitude-inducing individual informed me that -- somehow -- it got indexed on google, which... no.

WORLD OF NO.

I -- look. It could be as simple as the fact that I've been using my gmail to point people to the story, but I would like to ask -- *beg* -- that those of you who have read the thing *not link it anywhere*. At all. Yes, that includes del.icio.us, nalasalad2. And maybe don't write out the links in your google apps?

Christ.

I'm going to put in that thingy to block robots just as soon as I can make my brain work enough to do that. In the meantime...

Hell. Just take the 'me' out of the file name. Save it onto your hard drives if you want it, because I'm *thisfuckingclose* to yoinking it.

• Word count: 286. Plus I printed out what I have (17 pages) and am proofreading, and trying to figure out what's a story and what isn't. Poor Teyla.
  
  
• Stop being a wuss: How to make pie crusts the easy way. HAHAHAHA! Read the comments, too. I actually make a very good pie crust, and my recipe is not much different from this, though I don't use as much butter. Now I'm hungry for pie.

Title: For The Greater Good
Author: Meri
Artist: votaku
Fanmixer: votaku
Series: ST XI
Characters/Pairings: Ultimately Kirk/McCoy but Kirk's got to get there first. Kirk/Uhura and Kirk/Spock happen along the way. Kind of. Spock/Uhura.
Warnings: There are issues with consent.
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: +/- 28,000
Beta(s): regan_v, bethbethbeth, and gnomad
Disclaimer: I would not presume to suggest that I own anything connected to Star Trek. I'm using the characters without permission and I'm not making any money on them.
Summary: Aliens make Kirk think he's had sex with three members of his crew. Much to his surprise, the person it meant the most with was not the person he would have guessed. Now all he has to do is convince that person he's serious, deal with the other two people with whom he shared this experience, and negotiate with the aliens who did this to him. No problem.
Note 1: As you can probably tell, the scene in the bar in Iowa is a paraphrase from the novelization of the movie. I'm using it without permission.
Note 2: Vokau is Vulcan for remember.
Note 3: Special thanks to Neotoma for answering my questions on genetics.

It's not exactly that I had forgotten already how much energy and destructive initiative young rats have once they've gotten over their initial shyness, but there definitely was rose-tinted nostalgia blurring those memories. In any case I now remember why the free playtime outside I give younger rats has always been only an hour or two at most, whereas I let older ones out as much as they like as long as I'm home.

I also need to come up with more entertainment to occupy them now that they feel secure outside. Currently Noah in particular expends most of his not inconsiderable energy trying to get out of their play enclosure (simple wood panels held together with cable binders), that I put up for their safety while they are this young and reckless. Though even with the escape attempts, it still makes watching them easier. And the ferret climbing tree I bought for them has been a big hit, but clearly I now need to do some more landscaping to satisfy their exploratory drive.

I think I've ODed on SGA Big Bang stories.

Also on the apple cobbler/crisp thing I made yesterday.

I am agog at the United States Postal Service! I ordered some Titan Books Transformers collections off Half.com Friday night--well after business hours--and two of them arrived TODAY. Monday. The equivalent of overnight delivery, since they couldn't possibly have gotten to the post office before Saturday morning.

Via Media Mail, which is supposed to come within 4-8 days, if you are lucky.

You are raising unreasonable expectations, Postal Service! The next time I completely fail to get a package, I will be even madder at you!

The collections themselves are LOVE, by the way. I first encountered them in person in New York two weeks ago, and bought two--Legacy of Unicron and City of Fear--because they are just that exciting. You see, the UK Transformers collections were originally published in magazine-style format, so regular comics-sized reprints (like the IDW ones) don't quite do them justice. Nor, frequently, do the scans.

The paper on the Titan reprints is also a bit less glossy. I don't like glossy paper, especially on trades, where the angle of the pages increases its tendency to reflect back at you.

And on Half.com, as opposed to in New York, they are pretty cheap.

It only took three days to occur to me that I could (ought even) post the link to my Big Bang story on my journals. I am so slow I'm moving backward in time.

Yuletide story idea has been hatched, however, complete with thinky theme. Minimum of ten thousand words to even hit the high points. So I'll need to get cracking.

But back to what has been written.

Here is where you can read Know How to Fall.

(Which I consider to be an Equestrian AU slash Harlequin, if that helps. I suppose it might hurt too.)

Word count for today: 336. Not bad!

Link of the day: I thought I found this on Kottke.org, but it must have been from my flist. No matter where, it's beautiful. The center of our galaxy as seen when photos taken by the Hubble, Chandra, and Spitzer telescopes were combined. Here's a discussion of how the image was created, and if you scroll down a bit, an explanation of what you're looking at.

Adventure of the day: I went into the city and met Esteefee! And had coffee at the place she modeled John's place after in her wonderful Fair Trade and Moebius stories. I got to ask her questions about the story, and talk about fandom and SGA and all kinds of fun things. Thank you, Esteefee, for finding time for me!

Movie of the day: I saw 2012, which is full of actors I'm crazy about (notably John Cusack and Chiwetel Ejiofor) and even more full of really really stupid story-telling. Lots of cool explosions, though! Um. Actually, the explosions were the best part.

The rest of SG=[team number redacted] wandered back to the gate eventually after no one showed up after the gate dialed in. They looked around the clearing before shrugging.

"What do you figure?"

"Wrong number?"

"Bad autodial?"

"Didn't like the neighborhood? This planet is dead boring."

"Who cares? No one's shooting at us."

"Hey, wasn't Bamber on watch here?"

"Uh, the new guy? Yeah."

"I don't see him."

The officer in charge tried his radio. No answer.

"Ah, crap."

"What?"

"Aren't those his boots in front of the stargate?"

"Sonova -- Didn't somebody tell him to get out of the way when the gate dials in?"

"I guess not."

"Now I've got to explain losing another newbie in my report. What do you figure I should say this time? Ori soldiers, cannibal natives or rogue Jaffa?"

"Mix and match, sir. I don't think anyone's used cannibal Jaffa yet."

"Good idea. Well, I guess it's time to dial home. Someone toss his boots into the whoosh."
