jadesfireI think I slid to work rather than walking this morning. Although it rained overnight, it doesn't seem to have made much difference to the ice or snow levels. On the plus side, this means that our snow duck is still standing. On the downside, I looked like I was entering an ice-dancing competition. It wasn't gold medal winning standard, but at least I didn't fall over.
Just adding to my sense of morning bafflement (how can we have rain AND ice?) was the following review [the punctuation is the reviewer's, not me leaving things out, BTW]:
That was pretty good. Not to be rude or anything, but the whole thing was kinda random...I guess I kinda liked it though...
There was more to the review, asking if I'd seen the Torchwood trailer and why everyone calls the Pterodactyl Myfanwy, but the above was the bit that got me. The story in question was Master of His Fate, my Cyberwoman tag. Not my best story, I'll admit, but that review is way more random than usual. Since there wasn't much else I could say, I explained that the name came from the BBC website and thanked the reviewer for reading. Ah, the Pit of Voles. It's nice to know some things don't change.
In other news, I went to my Slimming World group last night after a few weeks off and had a great time. I always forget how much I enjoy it, plus I love helping out and meeting everyone. Our group has a shiny new computer system for signing everyone in, and I got to press buttons and do complicated computer-y things which was great. I've set myself some goals for where I want to be by Easter (back in control of what I eat would be nice) and am going to try to remember to sign into Facebook to keep track of everyone. I'm also putting this here so that when it's raining and cold and dark next Monday and I don't want to go, I can come back here and remind myself why I do want to really!
How's everyone else this morning? I have a terrible case of writer's block (or writer's rubbish in my case - I can write, but it's all drivel) and am in need of more coffee, but am otherwise pretty good. The sun has come out and the field outside my window is practically glowing in the light, which is definitely uplifting for the spirit. Oh, and I'm going to find myself a fandom-neutral mood-theme, since I'm definitely in the grip of fannish drift and want something I can use for everything. Anyone got any suggestions?
Whether it's too hot or too slippery, be careful out there, okay?

Heh, you do wonder sometimes whether people are actually *reading*, don't you? I swear people are getting more and more random...

Date: 2009-02-10 02:10 pm (UTC)That was just the first night, he says it can take a few nights to notice any difference. I know I'm in a lot less pain than usual but I wouldn't recommend trying to drive as I am now, usually I only get this fuzzy after several doses of strong painkillers lol. I'm a bit worried that if it works what it'll do to my fic plotting because the insomniac hours are when I do the most lol.
Sometimes I think they're reading something completely different to what you've written. Of course, there are times when I've actually reread my own fic just to check that I hadn't missed something lol.
The mood themes were more than likely seen when I was going through the recs you put up, but can't remember where.
