The Mad Scratchings Of An Electronic Pen

'Shire Thing #8 - While there are trees EVERYWHERE in New Hampshire, they are all new growth. I knew that it was timber from the colonies that built the amazing navy that made Great Britain a superpower, but I didn't realize that almost all of New England had been clear cut to do so.

On The Writing Front - "Cylon of the Opera" (and I really need a new title for it) will be probably end up being a three part epic. Today I wrote a scene which tied my two chunks together, meaning I have 2/3 of the first part written.

And now I'm starting to doubt the whole thing.

I have really messed with Kara's back story and am changing how she copes with things, playing up the religious side (which I am making up or pulling from the Battlestar Wiki because I've never seen "Caprica").

But what if I've changed her too much?

Starbuck is a kick-ass, take-no-shit, kind of woman, Christine Daae was an immature girl who always had a strong male presence in her life to rely on. Forget apples and oranges, these two are apples and staircase carpet.

On The Baby Front - We've had 3 of the 6 babies so far, with two babies due anytime (our biggest fear is that they'll go at the same time).

I finished "Battlestar Galatica" today.

Even though I knew what was in store, after Lee turned around and Kara was gone I spent five minutes yelling "WHAT?" at my tv.


My Dad did too.


And just before that Mom wandered in, asked who the guy in the tub was and, upon learning it was Sam and he was about to jump into the sun, then said "So this means that she can go off and be with what's-his name... the Adama kid like she was suppose to".

Back in the summer Doctor Who had just ended and BBCA was starting to air Battlestar Galactic and my dad and I said, "Why not?"

So we watched the mini-series and that was awesome and every Saturday night was another two episodes, so now it's Feb and we're nearing the end of season 3 and things have started to bug me.

( More rambly thoughts this way... )

Saw this while driving this morning: "Shaffer's Lawn and Handyman Service - Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap".


I attended a birth yesterday that had a couple heart quickening moments - nothing bad, but you always have the extreme worst running through the back of your mind.



I joined up with thebluebox_lims and you can too!





Artist claims went up at het_bigbang and I snagged two, one is Due South, Ray K/Thatcher and the other is NCIS:LA, Kensi/Deeks. I've already made up half a dozen Ray K/Thatcher iocns, but then I've been excited about that story since the first snippet post.

And lastly, I've been reading fic.

he told her once they’ll be parallel lines. this is the truth though: it’s never that long.

She’s fire. He’s ice. They just might be the perfect match.



Holmes vs. Harkness by kikainausagi
Torchwood, Sherlock | Jack, Mycroft | First season TW | PG-13 for brief swearing and mild innuendo
Mycroft has Jack kidnapped for a nice little chat about Torchwood's financials, among other things. Various other characters make appearances, but for once, Captain Jack Harkness doesn't get any.
