  • 09:14:45: Hey, who here has a Fandom Stocking? Link me to it! The mods haven’t posted mine yet, but here’s what it will be: http://bit.ly/7MQeks
  • 09:27:11: Obviously, because I am the slowest writer to ever slow, I can’t promise anything, but who knows? My corral needs more bunnies.
  • 10:03:45: Ye gods, what happened to all the cabs in this city? Was NOT looking forward to lugging two huge bags on bus and subway this morning.
  • 12:50:29: Wtf. They reimaged my computer yesterday so I’d have the latest software, but I’m now missing Maya and Photoshop, where I do 80% of my work.
  • 12:51:14: Ensuring your employees are productive: You’re doing it wrong.
  • 12:59:31: @ShannonKButcher Aww, that’s sweet. I’m sure Jim appreciates it.
  • 13:01:09: Okay, I’m a moron. I was trying to open 32-bit Maya and Photoshop, whereas this new computer is 64 bit. PEBCAK.
  • 13:04:18: @sue_sue4 @nelspen I ended up going the public transportation route. Urgh, I never want to see another stairwell again.
  • 13:15:51: Ah, called off the drama warning too soon! There’s no iTunes for XP 64-bit, and new admin privileges won’t let me install Tweetdeck. Sigh.
  • 13:37:19: @SheckyX Problem Exists Between Chair And Keyboard.
  • 13:54:53: @Sue_Moe Oh, this stocking is for my friends, not my family. My family doesn’t do the whole fandom thing. :D
  • 14:59:11: One upside to having no iTunes (I’m working on it) is taking a break from the usual fare and getting introduced to new artists on Pandora.
  • 15:14:41: Dev Team Eric informs me that my computer was reimaged wrong. Yay! Looking forward to diminished (though not eliminated) cracktasticness.

  • 15:54:46: “Didn’t Edgar Allan Poe write the screenplay for ‘Back to the Future’?” –Ish
  • 15:55:10: “I hear ‘Back to the Future’ invented the casserole.” –Ish
  • 17:12:35: @nelspen You have an abundance of them!
  • 19:04:56: Wall-sized ad features photo of Tiger Woods and the legend “It’s what you do next that counts.” *snicker*
  • 19:25:01: 95 people attempting to fly standby on flight before mine. I’m number 8. Let’s watch what happens!
  • 19:41:01: Holy shamoley! Not only did I make the earlier flight, I’m in first freaking class!!! You rock so hard, universe!
  • 19:51:43: Oh, man. This chair is like the Baby Jesus’ La-Z-Boy. I could get used to this spontaneous pampering.

  • 09:59:13: Freaking OW. Was running to catch the bus when my foot slipped on slippery pavement, I twisted my ankle, and I fell, banging my knee.
  • 10:00:01: Is it vacation time yet? At least the bus driver stopped and let me hobble on.
  • 11:05:47: They switched around our workstations yesterday.
  • 11:05:49: Now I’m trapped in the windowless 3D pit, using monitors with a max resolution of 1280×1024. Like an ANIMAL.

  • 00:13:01: What is the etymology of “slanket”? My pet theory is “slacker blanket.”
  • 00:13:37: @sue_sue4 Yup! It got set up last Monday.
  • 01:46:05: Woohoo, finished my Yuletide fic! This fandom has its first non-crossover fanfiction!
  • 02:29:36: Woohoo, Yuletide fic submitted, most of a day early! Quite an improvement over last year, when I submitted at 8:51 for a 9:00 deadline.

  • 00:20:30: Back from braving the barren tundras of Manhattan in search of rogue songstresses and delicious cupcakes! Our mission: a success!
  • 11:58:17: @longshotauthor I always imagined he was actually Leif Ericson, but apparently that’s been denied by the Word of God.
  • 14:11:45: Pancakes with Grade B maple syrup, shared with a best friend on a cold December day. It doesn’t get better than this.
  • 14:13:46: Roommate proclaims latest pancake to be the best ever. I am the pancake queen! Can I put that on my resume?
  • 14:14:13: It can go next to “gives really good back rubs.”
  • 14:15:22: @xiehicks Thank you and @FredHicks for introducing me to Grade B! It makes life joyful.
  • 15:02:47: @Za_Lord That is… wow. Kansas.
  • 16:27:01: I adore Max Brenner’s like a drowning man loves oxygen, but their hot chocolate mix fails. Shame. 1st thing there that wasn’t extraordinary.
  • 19:22:23: @ShannonKButcher You are truly SuperHostess! Victory!
  • 19:23:18: Yuletide fic starting to gel. So handy to have my beta sitting next to me, cracking the whip!
  • 19:31:33: @Uilos Kat and I peer at you in confused curiosity. Did you just slash us? XD
  • 19:39:45: @ksmccarthy24 I ship Kat/Me! What should we call ourselves? Katilla? Kathellie? Prisleen?
  • 19:44:32: @Uilos Too late! Rule 34! H.M.S. Katilla has been launched! Godspeed, fair vessel. Godspeed.
  • 20:13:29: @Uilos Happy to oblige!

  • 20:17:45: @Esperacchius Shouldn’t be relevant. I’m flying home Wednesday night.
  • 20:53:55: Kat is reading First Lord’s Fury. “It doesn’t read like a plot hole. It reads like Ehren is a f***ing ninja.”
  • 21:06:53: @SheckyX Kat and I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment! Only complaint: needs more BATMAN.
  • 21:14:22: @SheckyX Maybe after I finish my Yuletide fic!
  • 22:06:55: @Uilos “How to Blow Up a Planet”? *readies TiVo*
  • 22:34:47: @Uilos I think you mean “How to Teleport.” Anyway, TiVo is set for both!

  • 00:25:38: Okay, horrendous pile of untidy doom 80% dealt with. Time to switch to Yuletide ficcery!
  • 00:27:45: This challenge was a lot less daunting before I discovered my story is quite possibly the first non-crossover fic written for this series.
  • 00:47:30: Why am I yawning? Writers don’t have time to yawn! #amwriting
  • 09:48:12: HOLY YEESH COLD.
  • 11:57:52: @ShannonKButcher Poor little guy. We’ll be sending him healing vibes!
  • 14:02:51: *sporfle* Just came across a chat transcript, in which Jim and I discussed the nearly-completed map.
  • 14:03:07: Me: Just added the metal symbol, btw, and it summoned Captain Planet. Except he was dressed in Alera’s smoke getup. Kind of offputting. :D
  • 14:40:22: @myyrdneopia It’s a story for Yuletide (http://yuletidetreasure.org/), a pan-small-fandom fic exchange.

  • 08:44:09: Fact: @LongshotAuthor is even more psychotic than we give him credit. He must be stopped. (But not before he writes the next chapter gimmie)
  • 10:51:38: Got a call from Time Warner tech, saying he’d be here at 10-10:15. Should I stay or let my non-native English speaking roommate take over?
  • 10:57:07: Deciding to stay. Work is light this morning, and I’d be happy to make up the lost hours in overtime. I just want this to be done.
  • 11:00:00: @RockyShields Oh, she speaks excellent English! Better than most college students. But there are still occasional hiccups.
  • 11:10:50: @boymonster Particularly the insinuation that the dress cost as much as a romantic getaway. Um.
  • 11:27:08: TIME WARNER DUDE IS HERE! *launches fireworks*
  • 11:37:30: I love hearing people talk in phonetic alphabet. “Queen zebra whiskey!” If I ever run a distillery, that will be the name of my top product.
