duoshinigami a happy birthday, which sucks, because she's made of awesome. I hope it was a good one, sweetheart.
I have mail! Thank you so much_bettina_, turloughishere, and Lancecat, and truekat I loved them all. *mwah* My cards went out at the weekend, so hopefully they'll be arriving soon.
All you people that cook, I need advice. I know I joke about not cooking, but I'm cooking most evenings now, getting away from the processed stuff as much as possible. I'm doing okay, but I can't seem to make rice correctly. It always gets soggy and solid and horrible. So, any tips about how to make nice rice?
Still cooking related, I was cooking eggy bread yesterday and the hot fat splashed all down my thumb, leaving blisters. I've just pulled the top off one when I was looking outside, showing I'm a klutz in the extreme.
What was I looking at? The fact that the council came first thing this morning to fix the path outside my house. They used a mini digger to take the top off, then went, putting cones up to stop people getting past. Which nicely blocks our way to where we park our car. I mean, we can walk around the other way but obviously people will always take the short way if possible. I'll have to tell James when he phones as no doubt he'd fall down if he tried to get past that way.
Also, I bought strawberries yesterday and when I went to eat them they'd gone furry. That's just wrong!
Yesterday was the first rugby training session of the season. It seems most of the home games are in the first half of the season this year, which hopefully will lead to autumn sunshine at the club. On the other hand, it also means going away in the worst of the winter weather next year. Plus Corey needed new rugby boots which was another chunk of money gone. Then in the afternoon we went to see Run Fatboy Run, which was quite amusing and filled a few hours nicely.
Some pimping things now. First,mickeym is a goddess and wrote an amazing trickc story which is hot as all heck. You should go check it out. Second, do you all know of the comm ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
fic_requests? Well you should. It's a popslash community where you request a ficlet and hopefully someone will come along and write that for you. You don't have to write to request, but there is a long list of requests that need filling if anyone wants to exercise their writing muscles. It's fun over there. They're ficlets so there's no pressure, and there's sure to be a prompt that you find interesting. I may have committed lampfic today.
Last thing! There's a new Sureshot song and I like it. In fact I think it may be my favourite so far. Just, why do we need the rap? Why?! Rap is only fun when it's done by pretty boys dressed in shaggy crayola coats, sparkly pants and having woe about having no money after just being paid. Also, the name of the song reminds me of a sneeze.
Withoutcha Thanks totanni1978 who I snagged it from.
