Swap Meat


Yes, everyone else is doing their blogging and networking site thing about this week’s Supernatural episode, and yes, I normally go on about it. But last week I did my own recap of episode 5x11, and I was kind of asked to do another one for this week’s episode.

So I did.

Here be a VERY VERY SPOILERY recap entirely in sarky pictures. Do not click the link if you do not want to be completely spoiled for SPN 5x12: “Swap Meat”. You have been warned!



That’s it. Lost of stuff to do before I can go to the pub quiz tonight. And no, not getting totally hammered on account of needing to be up at 8am (FUCKING HELL! - REALLY?) for the next instalment of the Farscape rewatch project. Oh timezones, you are a bitch.

Frell Me Dead!


After I said I wasn’t doing any more picture 'stories', I did. This one is not a snarky recap of Supernatural 5x11 but a little Doctor-on-astronut action.

See, I like Doctor bloody Who, but I also like Farscape. Which one’s better….?





So I was in a silly mood. So shoot me.

Peach and lube, people!

Sam, Interrupted


Yay! We finally got a new episode of Supernatural! It was ace, I loved it for many different reasons, and then I thought ‘Everyone and their brother is doing their reviews of it - so I’ll do something a little different...

What that translates to is a VERY VERY SPOILERY recap entirely in sarky pictures, over at my sister-ship on LJ.

Do not click the link if you do not want to be completely spoiled for SPN 5x11: “Sam, Interrupted”. You have been warned!



And that’s pretty much everything right now. Apart from adding that MacSpeech Dictate is still yipping along nicely!

Peach and lube, people, peach and frelling lube!

Freedom Of MacSpeech



This has to be a first for me. I am sitting in Michael, my most comfortable of chairs, playing with a Heineken rugby ball that I won in some poxy pub quiz about two years ago, dictating to Jarvis my iMac via a headset and microphone.

The entirety of this blog post will be made with MacSpeech Dictate. The scary thing is, it’s almost as if a real someone is listening to me and writing down my crap. And, as a consequence, for the first time in history, I don’t actually have anything to say.

Well, that is not strictly true, is it? After all, I have already managed two paragraphs, and am no doubt about to manage a few more. This blog post is the first time I have used MacSpeech after getting it out of the box. I’m surprised and rather pleased to find that it can actually listen and write down really quite accurately everything that tumbles out of my mouth. It seems I no longer have an excuse for not writing a blog post, as technically I will no longer have to write blog posts, but just say them at Jarvis my iMac. (And yes it actually recognises the name Jarvis.)

All this sounds incredibly exciting and should make my life much easier. However, it also means that I actually have to know where my sentence is heading before I finish saying it. This, normally, is not a problem, as when I type I often make up the end of the sentence while I am still in the middle of it. Doing a blog post in Dictate Mode however means that I have to know what I’m driving at while I’m still getting there. Not so easy. The good news is that so far, my voice appears to be clear enough that Jarvis can understand me and type everything out properly. In fact, I haven’t actually had to change anything he’s typed for me yet.

I wonder how this will change how I write stories, as while the dictation ability is amazing, it’s not exactly what I thought it would be. I find I’m staring at the monitor, and am more interested in what comes up than in speaking the next part. Maybe if I stop looking at the monitor and actually think about what I’m saying, it will be easier for me to get this blog post done. Speaking of which…

I think that’s all that’s fit to print right now. So while I have lots of things to talk about with Jarvis, I shall leave you lovely people to get on with your lives.

*burp*



… and then he turns to me and says ‘How am I supposed to get it in at that angle?!’. --Oh! Hello, sorry, didn’t see you there. Just that I had a great birthday drinks cake fun and quiz thing Sunday night and yesterday (Monday) was a pretty ace day too. Let’s see - got some lovely cyber-pressies (NSFW pics FTW! Talk about p0rn for the fangirl! Phew!) and a lovely pie-and-a-pint dinner at The Chippy (no really, that’s the name of the place). Even my Farscape hardcover volume three comic book came int post - ‘Gone and Back’.



How cool is that? And look - it’s even got Winona on the cover under the dust jacket! AWESOME!SAUCE~



A great big hyowj thank you to Boom! Studios for getting it to me so that it arrived actually on my birthday. Wowzers.

Anyway, what was I doing? Oh right, yes - pimping. It’s fic time again, and I think I’m onto something here…


Title: “Better Out Than In”

Fandom: Supernatural
Rating: Rated T for language, and if we’re really lucky, bloody fights!
Category: AU. Set just after the season finale of season 3, as if seasons 4 and 5 never happened. SPOILERS for season 5, though. How in the world did that happen?
Summary:
After the closing moments of season three, Dean finds his way back to his family. Or does he?
Posted first (as always) at SPNVille.net.
Disclaimer:
I do not own the TV show ‘Supernatural’ either in whole or in part, but I wish I could write episodes full time. Or get a life. Or both.
Linky-link-link:




Slowly getting round to adding all the links and shite back in my sidebar there, so bear with me. I’ve actually lost a lot of links I used to read all the time, so if you see that you’re missing, please tell me. And that’s all the news that fit to print.

Cheers m’dears~ Stick a fork in me, it’s been grand.

'Kin 'ell



Got home at 8.30pm. It's now 1.25am, and what have I accomplished? Nowt but this new CSS shite I've cobbled together to make this blog look different fert new year.

Yes, I know, all the links and widgets and dubreys are missing, but hey, I'll get round to putting 'em back, alright? Right now I'm just patting myself ont back for having managed to sort out enough to (1) make my own header image and get it int right spot and (2) not tear all of my hair out trying to get some of this to look like it should.

That's all I'm doing today. Sunday tomorrow - posting new chapters to the FF archive, pub quiz and hopefully a free birthday shot from the Man In The Winchester.
