turpsWhen I got my computer back for some reason Firefox kept repeatedly crashing. I'm talking multiple times an hour, something that quickly got very irritating. After trouble shooting -- enabling/disabling add ons, installing new and old versions etc -- I gave up and installed Chrome. It's not perfect yet, I still need to tweak a lot of things, but it is stable, and really that's the most important thing. So sorry Firefox, I've loved you for years but I couldn't cope with the constant crashes.
After weeks of not writing a word and not being in the right mood to be fannish I've started working on my gross bandom story again. I don't know if it'll be done in time, but I'm trying. I'm over the minimum word count and it's not anything that needs actual plot, just something set in my wave two BBB universe and James is back at work tomorrow night, so who knows? I'll give it my best shot anyway. That is if I can keep away from the mega Frank/Mikey list I just got linked to on tumblr. It's amazing, especially as a load of the stories are on mibba, the land of angst, woe, death and blood letting.
Earlier I watched something that made me want a bandom story set in an octopus sex bar, because really, slinky, pretty boys lounging in shallow tanks with an octopus has to be good. Also, tentacle porn \o/
It's been a gorgeous day today. We've been to see mam and I've been drying the bedding on the line, and actually put on the clean sheets when I took the dirty ones off so my usual trick of having to remake the bed late when I'm tired won't happen this time. Talking of, I'm looking forward to when I'm not ready for bed at 9 and actually have energy that lasts all day again. Right now it gets to evening time and I'm done.
Right, I guess I should go and make the tea before the kidlet gnaws off his hand. Then catching up at DW and hopefully some writing/comment replies

An octopus sex bar!
I declare this idea GENIUS!
I'm so glad someone's getting the lovely weather promised! Mmm, sunshiny sheets. :)

It's been gorgeous this last week. The week after we pulled all our tomato plants of course.

Actually, don't answer that :p

Date: 2011-09-29 06:06 pm (UTC)Also, sort of related, I really liked the season opener, especially with the cast changes.
Not crazy, never have been *g*

We'd gorgeous weather too today. +20C and sunshine. Very lovely but soooo weird for the last week in September. Where is my lovely autumn with crisp air and frost in the mornings??!
My great grandfather always said that you should sleep and eat a lot when you were sick. It's the best way to get well again.

Date: 2011-09-30 02:42 pm (UTC)People with tentacles, maybe. Octopuses (octopii?), no. Not for me!
Line-dried sheets, yes! I always line-dry sheets and towels if I can.
Hope the computer aggravations are now over!

Date: 2011-10-02 07:35 am (UTC)I've just downloaded that version and am giving it a try. Chrome is okay but I'm missing my add ons.
Thanks for the heads up!

Date: 2011-10-02 08:09 am (UTC)Yep, it was the season opener this time. And yeah, octopus sex bar!
See, I'm with you, tentacles are awesome, but octopuses not so much. In a sexual manner anyway.
Line dried sheets are the best, sadly it looks like the warm spell is over, we're back to wet and grey.

Date: 2011-10-02 12:23 pm (UTC)I only read a couple of weird Mibba stories. Then I had to finish my gross bandom so had to stop. But it is a grey, rainy day, perfect for badfic.
It looks like our autumn has come back now, hopefully yours will too.
I'd be happy to stop sleeping so much any time now. Heading off to bed at 9 is all kinds of wrong. But I was up until midnight last night so hopefully that's at an end.

Date: 2011-10-03 01:03 am (UTC)Octopus sex bar, eh? *tilts head* I can deffo see the possibilities because of the tentacles (like, WHO would say NO to tentacle!porn?) but not if said tentacles are attached to an octopus/calamari/squid. Now, if you're talking mutations/alien beings, well, then you're talking, you get my drift?
That is if I can keep away from the mega Frank/Mikey list I just got linked to on tumblr. It's amazing, especially as a load of the stories are on mibba, the land of angst, woe, death and blood letting.
Oh, gods, T! *shakes head* I found the list shortly after we talked on Twitter (I was curious). Ended up doing a /o\ 'cause the BAD FIC! IT BURNS! Just the descriptions ALONE! O_O

Oh I do, very much so. On CSI it was an actual octopus that was used, but for me it has to be tentacles of a different kind, attached by someone who knows how to use them.
The list is terrible! And yet has some really good fic mixed up in it. How anyone can say that all of those stories are good I'll never know.

Date: 2011-10-07 02:11 am (UTC)Neither do I. In a way, I consider myself incredibly lucky that everything I read when I first got into Bandom was quality stuff by very good-to-awesomecakes writers.
Funnily enough, I came across a Frank/Gerard fic recs list at someone's Tumblr. Had quite the LULZ by trying to mentally scar
Oh, and IIRC, one of you Frank/Mikeyway fics was listed at that Tumblr list. I think it was the one about the afterlife? I actual!guffawed at that. >_>
