Sunday

Sunny and 81 degrees, a very pleasant breeze out of the north. Making very last tweaks to fic so I can put it up and get it off the damn WIP list.

In the meantime, here's an interesting article -- crazy family squabble tears famous California wine empire apart.

Posted to housefic and house_wilson.
Title: Take the Long Way Home
Author: nightdog_writes
Characters: House, Wilson, Cameron, Cuddy, mention of others (Foreman and Taub).
Rating: "R" for sex talk and intimate body parts.
Warnings: Yes, for crack.
Spoilers: No.
Summary: "I.S.R.," he says. "Involuntary Sex Reassignment." 2,649 words.
Disclaimer: Don't own 'em. Never will.
Author Notes: This is not meant to be a treatise on gender, sexual politics, or anything else besides what it is -- a crack AU, set in a world that is most definitely not our own. Much creative license has been taken with ... well, everything. There are a few notes at the end; title and LJ-cut text are taken from the song of the same name by Supertramp.
Beta: My intrepid First Readers, with especial thanks to hannahorlove and deelaundry.

Sunday Evening and Sherman Alexie

Used the leftover roast beef to make enchiladas. Quiet day -- laundry and fic posting. Not much else.

I know some folks out there are fans of the writer Sherman Alexie -- here's a link to a short story that appeared in the August 10th & 17th issue of The New Yorker. It's about a man who thinks he's going deaf, cockroaches, healing blankets, and his dying father. It's an excellent, excellent read.
