Lookit what I got today! This is my Malcom Reynold's bracelet, made by the ubertalented Natalie Pretzman of Demon Stone Jewelers. Isn't it awesome?

Want one for yourself? Or one of another character from a different show/movie/comic/book/other fannish medium? YOU CAN HAVE ONE! Here's their tumblr page . You can find links to their Deviant Art page as well as an e-mail address where you can send your requests. And if you're not a total geek into some fandom, I bet if you asked the nice ladies, they might even make you a bracelet/anklet/earrings/necklace in the colors you want if you say pretty please. Custom made, so they will fit you perfectly, which makes me a very happy camper and I bet you'd like it too. So get one!

I wish the picture could really show how neat this is. The coppery beads are my favorite bit, and you can't see how neat they really are in the photo, but it's the best I could do. I'm seriously entertaining thoughts of getting the entire "crew."

And if you follow me on various other forms of social media, yes I am crossposting the heck out of this. It's that cool. And they're just starting the business and could use the word of mouth. Even if you don't want one, share the info with friends that might. Plus if you DO get something, you get to show a little support for these ladies, who are fans and geeks just like you, AND get something cool in the process. How is that not a win?

To all my gaming friends, I apologize for falling off the map pretty much without a word of warning. There is no excuse for it, it was rude, and I'm sorry. But now that I'm feeling better and my house is clean once again, I will be better able to handle the commitments of writing again. Again, I am so very sorry for being so inconsiderate and leaving any of you hanging. That will change. Very soon.

OMG I have such AWESOME things to reply to! Not to mention a few more critters to throw into the masquerade! But today was an exciting and jam-packed day in which I got both a new car and a new cat and no nap! So my headache not withstanding, I have to get a little kitten settled, so I may not get to replies tonight.

Got my WC replies done. Will be working on DDC tomorrow.

I'm struggling with some medical stuff right now, and it's making me tired and draggy. We're on the road to correcting it, hopefully, so I should be doing better soon. Fingers crossed. Thank you all for your patience with my ridiculous downtime.

Dawny, I think we can call Crowley/Harley done, yes?

And Sigyn's threads with both Hel and Hermod wrapped up, so she's looking for the next person to talk to. Any volunteers?

After doing a bunch of modly things, both visible and behind the scenes, I'm thoroughly fed up with IJ's lagging time. Don't know if it's them or me, don't really care, I'm just done. So the replies I was going to do tonight are going to happen tomorrow when I feel less like throwing my keyboard through a window.

There shall be extra work for me today and probably tomorrow, as I try to scratch up enough to replace my catalytic converter. Hence, probably slow to no replies for at least today. I'll get to them when I can along the way here. After all, I need breaks now and then. :D

I apologize for the delay in replies... my body is not cooperating with me at all this week. I'm going to try to get some out tonight, definitely tomorrow. Thank you all so much for your patience. Especially Dawn. *HUGS DA DAWNY*

I was going to get the plot chat summary up and do some replies today, but apparently I'm being dragged off to a county fair. I WILL get the summary done when I get home. Replies are little more iffy.

Comment with one of my characters, past or present, (and one of yours for #3) and I will tell you:

5 icons that I feel best represent them
4 icons I don't use often enough
3 icons that best represent my character's feelings towards yours
2 icons that are my favorites
1 icon that doesn't really fit the character, but I can't live without.

I owe nothing! I am totally caught up on replies! HAHAHAHAHAHA!

I won't be doing replies this weekend. I'm working on a sooper sekrit project that I really want to get done by Monday... hopefully I will. Then I'll do replies again.

When you see this, post a poem on your journal.

Ode - Arthur O'Shaughnessy. (1844–1881)

We are the music-makers,
And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers,
And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers,
On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers
Of the world for ever, it seems.

With wonderful deathless ditties
We build up the world's great cities,
And out of a fabulous story
We fashion an empire's glory:
One man with a dream, at pleasure,
Shall go forth and conquer a crown;
And three with a new song's measure
Can trample an empire down.

We, in the ages lying
In the buried past of the earth,
Built Nineveh with our sighing,
And Babel itself with our mirth;
And o'erthrew them with prophesying
To the old of the new world's worth;
For each age is a dream that is dying,
Or one that is coming to birth.

HAHAHAHAHAHA! No replies waiting in my inbox! I am all caught up.

Roast a virtual turkey!

Pretty simple. Set the oven to bake, pick your time, close the door. Set it and forget it. It cooks, for all intents and purposes, in real time. So it's going to take a few hours to get it close to done. (Oh yes, it also sizzles as it cooks, so don’t worry if you hear that, it’s not your computer melting down.) When you're finished, turn the oven to off and it will ask if you're done... click yes and it will put your pretty turkey on a platter, tell you how done it is, and offer to send it to friends.

A couple years ago, I managed to make one of my turkeys 576% done... i.e. it was a blackened, charred lump. See? Fun. :-)

Hope everybody had a happy gobble gobble day!

I'm all caught up on replies. For now. I'm sure that will change soon enough.

I didn't get to the new posts I want to do. I've run out of energy, but hopefully I can get there soon. I AM feeling a bit better. The tummy has settled down, even if the cough is getting worse. I can sit at the computer with a cough. So hopefully in the next day or two I'll get the new Jeannie post and new Dysnomia post done.

Dawny, Nat, thank you so much for your patience. I'm so sorry for the delay.

Bleh. Sick. And I can't seem to concentrate well. I had plans to do WC replies and a new post today, but it just didn't happen. I barely got DDC replies done. I'll try again tomorrow, but no promises. I feel like snot.

I WILL get replies written tonight. But at the moment I am pooped. Why my husband thinks we need to get up EARLY on the weekend, which EVERYBODY knows is for sleeping in, is totally beyond me. I can't keep my eyes open. I'll typity when I get up.

Okay, that's it, I quit. I can't write for shit tonight. I can't get past two paragraphs, so I give up. I'll try again tomorrow when I don't have a headache. Or a husband pestering me. *sigh*

I'm not getting notifications today. Actually started early this morning, I think. I am irked.
