This morning was Bins 2 -- Terri 0

I got a call from the school yesterday saying it would be off again, so didn't bother setting the alarm. Only to wake up after nine remembering it was recycling bin day. They're usually here first thing which is why I put that bin out the night before, last night I totally forgot. So I hurry downstairs, shove on my shoes and venture into the snow in my pjs. At which point it strikes me this isn't going to be the usual few seconds bin run of most weeks. First I had to actually move the bins, which were blocked in by solid walls of snow feet high. Then get them out of the wells onto the path, which hasn't been shovelled since all this snow started. Managed to drag one half way along, and realised I had to get the gate open. After a lot of kicking of snow to get it to open at least a few inches, I saw that that even if I got the gate open enough to get the bins out I'd need to lift them up about a foot to get to the level of snow on the path outside. At which point I thought, screw it, and went back in.

[livejournal.com profile] mini_nanowrimo posted their spreadsheet and I ended with a total of 20738 words for November. Which is way down compared to last year but not bad considering all that was going on. Plus, I wrote and hit my target every day, so that was of the good. Those words were mainly shared between the killjoys plus Bob gsf and the travelling slave fic, plus a few scraps of other stuff here and there. My aim is to get both finished by the end of the year, but I suspect that may be a little ambitious.

Some pimping now, which I meant to do yesterday but it slipped my mind. [livejournal.com profile] mfac is a multi fandom advent journal that's run by [livejournal.com profile] saba1789 I enjoy it every year, and Saba does an excellent job of posting really shiny things. So, check it out.

While this one just makes me go, oh Mikey.




Which I think is a good time to introduce the fact that in my last post someone encouraged a Frank/Mikey retell of Grease. So far we have Frank as Danny, the brash guy who falls in love with the sweet Sandy/Mikey. For further visual details, think Mikey in very early days at first, then transformed into Mikey of the bird's nest era complete with eye make-up, tight pants, studded belt around his slinky hips and tiny t-shirt. There would be dancing on a fun house! There would be Mikey singing Hopelessly Devoted to You in his pyjamas and being all woeful! There would be Frank on the swing set and being dejected, Aloooooooone at the Drive in D:. There would be awesomeness!

But tell me LJ/DW, where would everyone else fit in? Would Gerard make a good Frenchie? LynZ Kenickie? Who gets to gyrate around and sing Greased Lightening?

I didn't know that I had this deep unrealized need to hear GeeWay sing 'There Are Worse Things I Could Do'... but there it is Oh WOW. I now have the same deep unrealised need.

I need this in my LIFE.

11,000 is a fantastic amount!

You know, the lack of an actual deadline is probably what kept my count down. It remains weird I have no deadlines this holiday season.

Best. Image. Ever. Hold this thought until I'm home from work and I will attempt a ridiculous doodle!

Eeeeeeee!

You have just made my day!

Add me to the list of people having that need now.

I think I'll start to stockpile our recycling too. The snow has to go soon surely. Then I can get rid of it.

I thought you had a load of snow too?

I suspect anyone used to snow would know it was a futile attempt, or more likely, not let the paths get so deep in the first place. I am a snow noob.

Yes, but I live in a apartment building, ie no shoveling for me \o/ (here you get a fine if you don't clear the sidewalk in front of your house two days max after a big snowfall - lots of pressure, IMO).

I am a snow noob.
Such a cute expression! And fear not, a few more winters like this and you'll be ready for anything *g*

Theory: Frank and Ray just had sex, to give Ray such fucking delicious matted sex hair, and to make Frank look so tired. Gerard looks subtly cranky because he and Mikey were going to have morning blowjobs, but they stayed up waaay too late playing Magic and ended up sleeping through their alarms and Frank had to bust into the room to wake them up and thus no sex. And Mikey just hates photoshoots.

Is it just me that looks at the second picture and sees inception?

Alicia and Jamia and Bob and Mike and James should all be working with cars with Frank. Because they're awesome and hardcore.

Bins + snow is never a good combination. I actually remembered to put my rubbish bags out last night but I wish I hadn't bothered because a) they didn't get collected due to too much snow and b) by the time I woke up this morning they were buried under the foot or so of snow that fell overnight and I managed to trip over them when I ventured out to the shop because I couldn't see them under all the snow >:(

Those pictures are delicious. Also? I would very much like to enable to posting of a Mikey's hat of awesome picspam :D?

Gabe & the Cobras would do Grease Lightening, I'm sure! :)

I like your theories! Especially the sex hair, because that's always amazing.

I still haven't seen Inception but will take your word for it.

YES! I can see that too.

Bins are evil! Ours still haven't been picked up, though I shouldn't be surprised as we only got our first post delivery in over a week this morning. Way to grind to a halt NE >:(

I will post a Mikey hat spam! Because I've just seen a Mikey in his hat picture that made me squeak with joy.
