jadesfire: Bright yellow flower (Random - coffee splash)
I think the gremlins stole my sleep again *slurps coffee*

Since I have no actual content for you, these are some places you should be that aren't here:

Gen Battle over at [livejournal.com profile] fox1013's. Not surprisingly, it's not getting nearly as much traffic as the porn battle usually does, so hie thee hence and try out some Gen!

Fluff Battle at [livejournal.com profile] miss_zedem's. See above. Although just my hair qualifies as an entrant today.

In more serious blogging, the Times is publishing a list of the top blogs from around the world. There's lots of good stuff, but the one that's caught my attention is the Harare bloggers. It's an honest, eye-witness account of what's going on in Zimbabwe at the moment from people who know what they're talking about. Fascinating.
jadesfire: Bright yellow flower (Text - Research)
Are there any Numb3rs fans out there? Is there a resource/research comm that I can use to find out the things that Wiki won't tell me? I've tried all the usual searches but nothing's really coming up. Never mind. This site just gave me the dates I needed :)

I watch the show when I happen to be sitting on the sofa and it happens to be on TV, but I don't follow it closely. So why am I contemplating writing a crossover?

*headdesk*
jadesfire: Bright yellow flower (SGA - McKay sleeping)
My body apparently thinks it's time for bed, although it's early even for me. But I'm not going to argue since it has a tendency to cheat and make me fall asleep anyway. Fortunately my other half was there to save me faceplanting into my dinner.

Despite being pretty dopey for most of the day, I am definitely awesome, and my patience levels were incredible. I spent 10 minutes on the phone talking a bemused reader through website procedures, I carried out two of the procedures that normally make me flap (just library things, but admin is not my strong point), I took the time to make sure that a visiting reader understood what was going on despite her very little English and I finished a job that's been hanging over me for about 6 weeks.

\o/ I might actually be awesome at my job after all. That's quite exciting, really.

Oh, and I'm planning on writing a Criminal Minds/Numb3rs crossover from Charlie Eppes' POV despite never having written Numb3rs fic before. Which is exciting for me, at least :)

What about you guys? How are you awesome today? I won't be around until my morning, so make sure you tell each other how awesome you are too!
