wook77Why has no one told me about the brilliance of the Temeraire series? I just devoured the first book instead of going in to my main job tonight. Really well written and addictive.
I'm working mad amounts of hours to try to minimize the vacation time I need to take. Brilliant thing about being salaried now is that I can work for an hour and get paid for 8.
Terminus has me flailing. I get in about 830pm on August 5th and will be navigating the mass transit system of Chicago. I will then be staying with Feei that night andbegging someone to hang out with me finding someone to go to the Wrock concert with. I know there are some of you getting in late and I have your cell phones, for the most part. I will be calling :P.
Mini-Rant - I find it complete and utter BULLSHIT that I have to pay 15 bucks to check ONE SODDING bag PER AIRLINE. Which means that I have to pay FORTY-FIVE bucks to fly TO chicago so as to have clothing to actually wear. FUCKERS. What absolute SHITHEADS.
I can't just go ahead and shove all my clothes into a backpack and carry it on because of the alcohol :(. Then again - perhaps I'll just save the booze for when feei/mijan come to visit and we can drink then and I'll shove all my clothes into a giant backpack of doom. With my laptop bag as my "personal" piece and the giant backpack, I wouldn't have to pay the excess fees.
Ah, deregulation. You've been a shitty idea from the first. Good job on getting people to swallow your bullshit throughout all the major industries, though.

I lost a bunch of icons and I miss them terribly :(.
I signed up for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
hp_yule_balls and I'm OMG so excited for it. I saw about 15 people I want to write for. I did my normal listing out a huge list of things I'd love to see with the hope that I'll get a couple of them. If there are spaces left, you guys should go sign up too.
Course, I sign-up for a new fest when I'm desperately behind on two other fests. I've been concentrating so much time on work and work and work and Memories as a Teacup and work that I haven't had two ideas that didn't have a thing to do with Dean and Seamus and memories.
Speaking of which - MaaTC is winding down. There's only about 10k to go. It feels weird that I wrote that many words all in one story. I've been scribbling out Dennis's story and Parvati's story and even Lavender's story. There are 50 prompts for my 100quills claim and I've gotten through less than half of them so I'm quite certain there shall be more random stories and memories within.
Speaking of which (:D), if you'd want to prompt me for a memory, a piece of backstory between Dean and Seamus, go for it. I can't promise I'll write it but I'll do my best. After all, I've an assload of layovers and flights to get to Chicago.
I'd love to see aqueerditch_pub sort of get together at Terminus. I had a blast at the informal one at Lumos. Anyone interested in a drabbling/timed prompt challenge get together at Terminus?
