Things for today

[jadesfire]

#1. Heard on the Today programme this morning:

"I think when they said 'brand new spanking programme' they meant 'brand spanking new programme'. The other probably wouldn't work on the radio."

#2. Torchwood fic. In which I admit beta-bias, but rec anyway:

Forgotten by fajrdrako
Summary: Adam meets Jack.
Oh, that doesn't even begin to do it justice. Psychopathy, sympathy, love and bitterness all wrapped up together so you can't see where one begins and the other ends. A sideways look at "Adam" that hits all the right notes.

Graveyard Shift by dune_drd
Summary: Ianto loved his job, he really did. However, working for Torchwood still managed to surprise him once in a while.
As most of you know, I'm not really a shipper, and can get quite tired of Jack/Ianto stories. But Dune always makes me look at them int a new way, and she does her usual great job of the guest-starring alien. Atmospheric and tender without tripping into angst.

#3. SGA fic by me! For sgahcchallenges:

In Memoriam
for leesa_perrie. Spoilers for 'Broken Ties'.
Summary: Now he has new pain to pile on the old, a layer of scars so thick that he finds it hard to remember what lies beneath them.

I'm not 100% sure I caught Ronon properly, but it was good to stretch some new muscles and have a go. Rodney was a joy as ever.

#4. I'm missing my flist and my chats on Yahoo :( How is everybody? See/do anything fun/interesting/worth reporting lately? I promise a proper report from here once I can get three minutes together without being interrupted. Trust me, at the moment, that's not easy...

Hi,

I'm working on big fic and miss posting - want to prompt me for a litte one? Might make life more interesting for both of us, and maybe cheer you up :) TW only (but I'm happy to throw in DW and SJA into the mix)

My life is too weird for feedback (like I flopped the interview - am still temping in the job - and now my working relationship with the same Doctor is better than ever) but hubby got confirmation on his full time job last night - one piece of good news

Oh, you know, trying not to fail at new job. That's about it, really.

Ooh, thanks for the offer. Er...*looks round* What about "Invoice" as a prompt word?

Argh, sorry to hear about the interview, although glad you had some good news to balance it. Hope something else comes up soon!

[jadesfire2808.livejournal.com]

*grin* Yeah, I know that one... Part of me wishes they'd give me some actual work to do, the other is quite happy muddling around with odds and ends...

Battling the bearaucracy monster and it JUST WON'T DIE!
