Today's geekery

I was browsing all the gadgets over at Blogger and came across this. The WW geeks on my flist will get why I found this amusing.

Oh, and teresadivicenzo, now would be the perfect opportunity to wave that flag! *g*

GIP!

In my search for seasonal icons, I came across this :-)

(no subject)

I just got back from taking one of my cats to the vet. She came in earlier and snuggled up to me and I noticed she had a big lump of fur missing under one ear, and thought she must've been in a fight. Then I noticed she smelled horrible - I mean, seriously, she smelled like poo! - and realised she must have an infection.



So it was into the cat basket - she was not amused - and off to the vet, where a few minutes later I was £40 lighter, for the consultation and course of antibiotics. It also emerged she needs some dental work done - estimate for that is £220. If my pet insurance doesn't cover that, I'm afraid she's going to have to wait until the teeth just fall out. Poor thing.

And the cats eat dried food - they like that "Science Diet" stuff, and have eaten it for years, so I'm not going to be able to put the antibiotics in food - it's going to mean giving them to her the hard way.

Also - and I did ask the vet this - how is she going to be able to eat if she's missing most of her teeth. The vet said "you'd be surprised how they manage!" What is she supposed to so - suck the food??

Round and round it goes...

Snagged from zinke

When you see this, post an excerpt from as many random works-in-progress stories as you like. Who knows? Maybe inspiration will burst forth and do something, um, inspiration-y.

I'm sure I must have done this meme - or at least, something like it, before, but I'm buggered if I can find it. But I can say that any fics I may have listed before as being unfinished are now done and dusted (I hate letting a fic defeat me, and it hasn't happened so far!) - the ones I have languishing around now are ones I've started more recently and am having trouble finding the time and/or the inspiration to finish.

Of course, they're WW fics - and as zinke and I were saying last night, maybe it's becoming harder to write them the more time passes since the show finished. I think there's something in that and although we'll always have DVDs, finding time to sit and watch them is currently a real problem for me :(

( Anyway, on to the fics. )

Oh, and there is a little something bubbling away that came out of a conversation I had last night, but if I post anything from that, it'll give it away, so I'll keep that under wraps for now.

So ... what should I attempt to finish first?
