Whoops ... between helping my post-doc, talking to my boss, and doing my own experiments, I totally skipped lunch. Bad for my body and my metabolism, I know. :/ Totally not the way I want to be dieting, either. I will do better tomorrow, if only because I *have* to eat lunch at lab meeting, lol!

Also, I realized this morning in a visceral way - i.e., when my head started aching - that I am totally addicted to caffeine. It didn't come as a revelation to any of my coworkers, though. Hmm... perhaps that is a sign, too. I don't know - if recognizing that you have a problem is the first step to fixing it, I might want to take back that realization. I'm quite happy with my caffeine addiction, really. Coffee is fun. :D

I totally forgot to pimp the fall_fantasia masterlist yesterday, but here it is! celandineb wrote the very very VERY awesome Percy/Scorpius fic The Best for me, and I ended up writing for her, too ... Between Dreams and Reality, Harry/Draco/Snape. It was an awesome fest and so you should totally check out the masterlist and all the great stories there.

Anyhow. The point of all this rambling, before I got started, was to ask for a beta for my September daily_deviant fic. It's been through a couple betas already, but I think it needs some more. It's a DH-compliant Snarry, no real warnings I guess, except for religious themes, if those need warnings. Priest!Snape ... anybody? Pretty please?

My spin is almost up so I need to get back to my bench, but ... *smooches to all* Have a good day!

Such fun! I went to see We Are Wizards (it was fabulous) with potteresque_ire and we had lunch and dinner together as well a lovely long walk ... during which we came up with a diabolical plan for a collab. I'm so excited!

I have been really delinquent in terms of linking to hd_worldcup, but you really really really must go read/appreciateall of team epilogue's fic&art. There've been a lot of amazing prompts posted: wands, strength, death, the lovers, swords, the tower, the empress, and the hierophant. All of the teams have done fabulous, fabulous things with these prompts - I know that it's an awful lot to keep up with, but it's soooo worth it!

I am actually headache-free for a change, so I reckon I'll try to hammer out (part of) another fest fic while that lasts ... *hugs flist and runs off to write*

( Oh, and a lolcat, just for fun )

Remember, today is the last day to submit prompts for phoenix_flies! Check out the guidelines for prompts and go here to submit your prompts before midnight EST!

And speaking of prompts ... happy birthday, r_grayjoy! I hope you have the best of days ... feel free to drop me a pairing and a prompt if you would like an (eventual) birthday ficlet!

On that note, sorry for having been AWOL lately, with the birthday ficlets and drabbles and replies to comments and everything. I'm going to make a good effort this week to be around more, now that my Valensmut fic is (mostly) done. I've missed you guys!

If you post only/mostly to LJ, could you please leave a comment here to let me know? Am setting up reading filters so that I don't have to see everything double-posted ... and I don't want to miss out on anyone's posts!

I've been only posting to IJ myself, lately, as far as any of my fic and drabbles are concerned. I won't have any hurt feelings at all if you choose to defriend me/filter me out over here on LJ.

Am bored at work and dealing with some icky sneezy allergy thing. My boss is in France ... not that this is exactly relevant, but it doesn't exactly make me feel better, you know!

There's a new version of Google: Blackle. It's black, which saves energy over a white screen ... there are details about that here. I don't know much about physics or computer screens, but it seems like a really nifty idea!

Going on your honeymoon, knowingly putting the health of hundreds to thousands of people at risk? So not cool ... especially when your new father-in-law studies Tb and should know better.

Also ... Please note, dear old Boston Globe, that Tb is caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis ... that would be the bacterium, not the virus, just in case you were confused.
