Friday

[nightdog_barks]

Beautiful bright sun and blue skies, a very pleasant 65 degrees (18.3 degrees Celsius). It's actually supposed to get up to 70 today, which is wonderful.

Posting a Housefic either today or tomorrow. Also need to do some housely stuff -- sweep out the kitchen, do a little laundry. Keep getting distracted, however, by news coverage of the events in Egypt.

Juggling my First Readers filter soon ... I know some of you guys aren't in the fandom anymore/could care less about the show and the characters. Or is it couldn't care less? I never can remember ... :-)

It's "couldn't care less" according to The Elements of Style. If you "could care less" then there's still some vague interest - if you couldn't, you don't have any feelings one way or the other.

[nightdog_barks]

You know, that's what I thought it was, but for some reason it just doesn't sound right to me. Which doesn't make a great deal of sense, but there it is anyway.

You know, I could, potentially, care less. :)

[nightdog_barks]

HA!

[perspi]

Post is up! The list, however, is going kind of slow. GRR.

[nightdog_barks]

I saw that, and I was about to come over and tell you how PURTY UR QUILTING IS. But I got distracted by the NY Times Book Review, and I haven't done ANYTHING.

GRR INDEED.

[perspi]

GO ON, YOU MAY TELL ME HOW AWESOME MY FABRIC IS ALL DAY LONG. :)

[nightdog_barks]

PERSPI, UR FABRIC IS SO AWESUM --

... wait, maybe I should tell you over there ...

*cackles madly*

Oooh, 18 degrees! We're gonna be -18 by the end of the weekend.

May I stay on your First Readers list? If you don't mind, of course. *looks hopeful*

[nightdog_barks]

MINUS EIGHTEEN? GOOD GOD, WOMAN.

*g*

And of course. No worries, sweetie. ♥

I can't recall whether you are/want to be on the First Readers list for the Giant Collaborative AU, but we'll be posting some stuff from that soon, so. Let us know about that too, mmkay?

I suppose the last bit is at least partly from my comment the other day. :( I would like to read, but I often don't have the time. And certainly not to give anything resembling worthwhile concrit, unfortunately, so I understand. (Work, getting in the way of Life since money was invented... Though to be fair exchanging little bits of paper for food and/or clothing is a great deal quicker than growing and making it oneself.)

[nightdog_barks]

... what comment the other day?

*is genuinely not remembering*

[silverjackal]

Heh. I said something or other to the effect that I don't watch television (because I don't have television). I don't have time to watch things on someone else's schedule, and refuse to pay for vast quantities of things I wouldn't watch for the sake of getting the few I would, so I'm coming up on three years without television now. Many people are shocked by this. :D

[nightdog_barks]

OH!

Heh, I didn't even think about it. There are a few other folks on my f-list who don't watch network TV; instead, they watch episodes on Fox.com or whatever's on the other online sites.

[silverjackal]

With the disclaimer that I haven't looked very hard there are a number of things which are blocked from viewing outside the U.S. (This is particularly annoying with news articles, and just because it's the bloody *internet*, and therefore not confined to the U.S., particularly with the current trend of not having an accompanying text article, just video.) Except for my recent spate of canine-centric program watching, and before that the three episodes of Sherlock I honestly haven't watched any television in something like nine months or a year. I'm really not certain, but averaged out it probably works out to less than 10 minutes of television per month. For entertainment these days I fiddle about on the internet or read, and that's pretty much it. I do miss seeing documentaries about nature or history or archaeology, but those really weren't available with any television package I was willing to pay for, so... *shrugs*

[nightdog_barks]

GAH I FORGOT ABOUT THAT. Sheesh, I am so U.S.-centric. D'oh. You're absolutely right, of course.

:-(

[silverjackal]

No worries. It's not like you'd notice the phenomenon, because you're not often greeted by the smug "This item can't be viewed in your Region" messages. :D

Greetings! It's snowing here now. I've been working 11 hour days this week because someone gave me this report to write. "We need it ASAP because the client is sick of us handing in reports late," she told me. So her tardiness is MY problem now. Anyway, my brain is fried because when I try to sleep I can't stop thinking about evapotranspiration and soil drainage and other report stuff. (wanders off, babbling to self)

[nightdog_barks]

I wondered where you'd been!

Don't wander too far. :-)
