A meme and a ramble

[donutsweeper]

Stealing two ideas from Jadesfire (sorry kiddo, sending virtual donuts now)

First, the photo meme.  I haz a camera, why not?

Tell me something to take a photo of and I'll interpret your request then snap a picture! It can be anything (family friendly!). Just a word for me to think about or something more specific!

And second, the happy list!

1. I've gotten a bunch of excellent comments on my bigbang, mostly from people I've never heard of before.  It's one thing for _medley_ to slap me upside the head and say, "Quit worrying!  It's good!"  But for random people to comment and tell you the same really reinforces it.

2. Apparently I can function on three hours sleep.  Although, as a result, basic math is more difficult (see #3).

3. When deciding it's hot out so you'll make only half a pot of coffee, it's usually a good idea to remember to half both the water and grinds and not just the water.  But, the resulting espresso-like drink is absolutely excellent, especially with a splash of chocolate sause.

4. I don't work on Wednesdays.  YAY!!!  (Although, apparently Wednesday is a word I can not spell without Mr. Spellchecker, boo!!!)

5. After my long rambling chat with Jades at some ungodly hour of the morning I have decided to attempt some longer type fics ideas I've been ignoring for ages.   No idea if anything will come of it, but at least I'll have tried.

(Those are vague photo prompts, I hope that's okay!)

I was up late last night, too, though not as late as you. I kept falling asleep on the floor while trying to grade papers and as a result didn't finish until 2:30 a.m. Blah. So I have to work all day on less than four hours of sleep, BUT high quality caffeinated tea is really improving my outlook. (And my math skills - you're so right.) And one of my students had a birthday and brought cake. Not as good as donuts, but I'll take it. :)

I finished your bigbang fic yesterday and will comment as soon as my attention can do it justice. :) But yay!

And yay for starting on some old fic ideas! That takes a lot of courage, but yes - trying is the only way it can happen. :)

Um. Sorry for all the smiley faces. I don't like to use them in lieu of actual words, but I think my brain is still a little fried.

Hope you can get better sleep tonight!

Hee. I'll forgive you this once *munches donuts*

I've become a big fan of happy lists. The rotten stuff tends to block it out, and although it doesn't always compensate, it's nice to remember it too.

For the photo meme: Fluffy

I haven't had a chance to get through the Big Bang fics yet *is bad mod* I need to finish the SGA one, then I'm going to print them out so I can scribble in the margins :) Glad you're thinking about having a prod at the stories. If you keep plugging away, something will happen eventually.

library bookstore & garden. I'm glad to know you are a fan of exclamation points, since I overuse them.

SEE? I TOLD YOU. *g* Seriously, though, I'm so glad you're getting good feedback on your fic. All that work you did should be rewarded!

And yay, you for thinking about writing longer things!

Yay longer fic from you!

Although I don't know why I'm excited about longer fic, I've yet to read any of the bigbang stuff from anyone. We're having a summer cleanout and it's eating all my free time.

Summer! (Is your photo prompt, I mean. This wasn't just a random word fly-by post)
