Not posted last Friday:
Flawless fucking victory. Not only have I completed chapter one of Twilight Watch, when I looked at one sentence as a flowing whole rather than type each word out, I could actually fucking read it. I had to look up two words, but the rest of it I could make out! Fuck yeah Russian studies paying off.

Today:
Ow. Ow. Ow ow ow. Ow? Ow ow. Ow.

So it's that day when I ache, I want to throw up, and I want to eat all the chocolate in my proximity. In that order, too, because damned if I'm throwing up perfectly good chocolate I just ate. On the plus side, maybe I'll have fewer of these days on this new prescription. And did I mention it's only about $10 a month? Yeah.

Sadly, work today is not offering me much in the way of reprieve. Filing and packing, and unpacking and stocking, and other things. If I'm very lucky I'll get to do some editing. I still haven't done the gardening I wanted to this weekend on account of fuckitscold, and it looks like it's going to stay that way for a while because oh god, Polar Vortex Mark II? No. Do not want. I mean, on the plus side this should kill a lot of things and mean all I have to do is chop down the tall stuff and lay out the black plastic? And on the other hand DO NOT WANT. At any rate, polar vortex or not the temperature is set to drop over the next week/ten days, so no outdoor gardening for me. Starting seedlings in a couple weeks, though. And separating seeds to send on to people.

What else. Blog happened this weekend, was fairly quick, so the rest of the weekend got to be lounging around except for the snap things I didn't do. Need to get back on that so I can get on the rest of the stuff I want to do with the leather. I did, at least, manage to get a whole lot of relaxing and some blog business done, as well as seed inventory. Blog business included ordering business cards, too! That was way more fun than ordering business cards should be, I feel. But we also got to come up with cool titles (Data Wrangler) so hey.

Right. I guess this is where I go do the filing thing. I kind of wish I did audiobooks better so I could listen to them while I do filing, but that's just never going to be a thing with me, I think.

Okay, I almost forgot, but did manage in time to get my Russian in, so now I'm at the top of the second page of chapter two. I don't actually remember what that one is. But I did it, and it was surprisingly easier than I expected based on last chapter. To be fair, that's probably also because this was apartment buildings, 'Watch 'verse related words which I've already picked up (Иной, маг, Сумрак), ordinal numbers and some easy adjectives. But still!

One thing I guess I forgot to mention earlier is that I'm having a very idolize-Natasha-Romanoff day wherein I must consume all things Natasha Romanova. Somehow this also led to, oh wait, I know how it led to this. This ended up leading to looking things up on Tumblr, which led to finding something about how if Clint and Darcy are the fandom bicycles, does that make a fic with the two of them called the Tour de France, and this led to the next chapter of Darcy/Loki involving Darcy going "YOU ARE COMING WITH ME TO PARIS" for a no strings attached sexcation. I have no idea how this happened. Honest. Still, I expect it'll be fun if I ever write it. I still have... oh, let's have a look.

1. Phil/Cellist post-reveal (or not anymore since I was banking on him being a LMD) comfort fic where the Cellist also turns out to be a long exiled Asgardian. I might actually rewrite this for later in the Agents of SHIELD verse because, thanks to recent developments, I'm now convinced Skye is an Asgardian.
2. Loki & Frigga discuss Loki's Midgardian and Loki's misdeeds and, generally, Loki, you need such severe therapy. I actually started this before I saw Thor: The Dark World, so was deeply pleased when events in the movie helped this along.
3. Darcy/Loki where Darcy agrees to accompany Loki into exile because someone has to even kind of be on his side, everyone needs someone to care about them, right? and he doesn't believe she doesn't in the same way he believes Thor doesn't care about him.
4. Natasha Romanoff sex pollen aftermath fic. Sequel to the Natasha Romanoff gets sexpollen'd fic that was the least porny sex pollen fic ever. One of these days I'm going to finish that aftermath thingie. I had all sorts of interesting places it went.
5. NOT AVENGERS IT'S A FESTIVUS MIRACLE. More Ruby/Gold, somehow Ruby is pregnant and this ends in an equitable threesome with Belle and Gold is the most panned Sorcerer in history.

I can't even say all of these are recent developments. One of these days I'm going to finish something. A fanfiction something.

Till then, I guess, I should finish the edits on the one story and get back to the self pub stuff.
