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?

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.
