...watching?

Whew, I am really on a Buffy binge right now. Last night I finished with season one in the wee hours of the morning. It only has 12 episodes, but still... :shock:

The boat is back in the water! My heart stops when I see it swaying in the sling, twenty feet off the ground. But the engine started up fine and we motored over to our slip and moored up. Then sat in the cabin while it gently rocked a little and drank root beer. It doesn't get any better than that! Sometimes it is so easy to please me.
Working on a major fan fic project. Two-thirds done. Hope to put it up in the not TOO distant future.

Because I'm an anime freak... I'm watching "Great detectives Poirot and Marple" online (http://www.pisoga.com/2008/03/great-detectives-poirot-and-marple.html; there are the links for all the chapters, if anybody is interested.) I've always had a soft spot for Agatha Christie because I read all her books when I was a teen. The series is surprisingly accurate. Just two complains:

- The written signs. Like one character asking "who's he?" and Poirot pointing at him and answering "He's Hastings" and then Hastings shows up and says "I'm Hastings" and a written signs reads: "Hastings". (Yeah, I got it! DUH!)

- The duck. There was no need of any duck.

I'm feeling like a teen right now. Listening Poirot speaking Japanese is so cool... 8)

I used your link and got a look at it. Listening to Japanese always makes me so sentimental...

Listening to: The chemical brothers "Salmon Dance" Pretty odd, as far as music goes.
Eating: A tin of sliced peaches, with good texture. (which is pretty rare)

Out of interest (along with extreme tiredness, boredness (sic) and general randomness), whats everybody else's opinions of canned fruit? :thumbsup: or :thumbsdown:

^ Obviously not as good as fresh fruit but I'd totally eat canned fruit. I just hate that they add sugar all the time. I like when it tastes like an actual FRUIT thank you very much. :evil:

As every food, it's good, if you enjoy it. :)
Well yes. I continue to write. And on Fanfiction.Net, for those who want, it is possible to cast a glance at my latest efforts. We arrived to
The Ears of the Elves, chapter Forty-four


And here is the beginning of the whole story.

But, I must say, you could also find something else on Fanfiction.net written by me. If you want.

Like it in general, except for fruit cocktail with all those mushy colorless grapes. When we were growing up we often ate canned fruit or jello or pudding, always with milk on top, for desert. Think this was my Scottish father's idea. He just doesn't think a meal is complete without dessert of some kind.

Scottish Trifle for Anyone Who Wants to Have an Insulin Spike:
Line a clear bowl with slices of pound cake or lady fingers. Spread jam all over that (strawberry or raspberry is nice and red). Throw in a tin of fruit cocktail. If you're feeling naughty add a dash of sherry or brandy. Then add a layer of vanilla pudding. Then top with whipped cream. Let it sit long enough to get soggy and spoon it out.

I think that got made for every important holiday in our house when I was growing up.

...writing?

A NOVEL! Yes! I have finally come up with an original idea which might be publishable, or at least I think so. I am so excited! I have to force myself to stop and do other things. Strangest thing is... it's not science fiction. Weird, huh?

But yes, BnB, I'm still working on Lerteiran, never fear. 8)

Good luck and enjoy. I have written two. (Not science fiction either.) Must admit to being on hiatus in fanfic right now partly to recover from the trauma of trying to sell the damn things. (Also hiding out from the third one which stalled out in the middle.)
