Talky talky

* After three days of wondering why I was too tired to keep my eyes open, I realized that the problem was physically with my eyes. As in, that's where my head cold has decided to reside. Which also explains why they water like crazy every time I try to lie down. Good to know that it's a regular bug and not some freaky incubus issue.

* I would like to knit a hat. Soon. I have discovered on my way to the library that the hat-with-earflaps that I have now is just not warm enough.

* Both my wizard_love and hpvalensmut fics are finished! I'm disappointed with the former. My original vision for it was much grander, but time unfortunately conspired against me. I'm happy with what I turned in, but would have been thrilled if I'd managed to pull off what I had hoped for. Oh well. Someday I'll learn to plan more reasonably. I'm more than a little bit in love with my hpvalensmut submission and have been since I typed the very first words. The whole prompt was just so my thing that I was dancing with joy over it from the beginning.

* Next up is my hp_nextgen_fest. Admittedly, I haven't even opened this file in a long time. I sort of put it on the back burner to get the other two fest fics finished. I'm still so excited about it, though, and I can't wait to get it out now that I can give it my full attention.

* Still hashing out plot bunnies in my brain for my crowley_bigbang fic. I need to have a solid plot in my head before I start tackling a 15k fic.

* All that said, I'm really, really itching to write some Numb3rs fic. I have an idea for a sort of lengthy story, but I'm kind of dying to write something shorter, that I can post fairly soon. Obviously Colby-centric is my comfort zone, but I'm willing to branch out. Any Numb3rs types on my flist have a request?

* I've been working a bit on some original stuff as well. A very, very little bit, but it's something.

* S1 of Justified arrived today. How I manage to forget how hot Timothy Olyphant is when I'm not watching that show is beyond me. I was only able to catch episodes sporadically during the season, so I'm looking forward to catching up fully before S2 starts.

* Almost done with the first Sookie book. I hope to have it finished by the end of the week. Will post thoughts then.

* Picked up Isis by Douglas Clegg at the library today. The cover intrigued me and it doesn't look like it will take me very long. Anyone read it?
