I'm not actually finished with this site yet (there's content to be added and thanks to Dreamhost making unannounced changes I can't actually create any new owned fanlistings in my Enthusiast panel at the moment (it's currently using the settings for another fanlisting)) but I wanted to see what people thought about the layout since it's a bit different from what I usually do. I quite like it, but I've been staring at it for a few hours so fresh eyes are welcome. Feel free to offer any criticisms you might have!

Solitary Man, the fanlisting for Stargate: Atlantis 5.19, 'Vegas'.

On a related note, I'd also like to add a fanfic rec section to the fanlisting so does anyone have any Vegas!verse recs?

Remember: Detective John Motherfucking Sheppard doesn't know how to love you, but if he could he fucking would.

I gave Archimedes in a Bathtub, the fanlisting for A Town Called Eureka a new layout at long last because jesus fuck, did it need one.

I plan to spend the rest of the day working on the fanlisting for 'Vegas' but I'm worried I'll get distracted by the sheer fuckability of Detective Motherfucking Sheppard as I go. Oh well, we'll see what happens!

And now, because I'm procrastinating before making breakfast, let's finish off that meme about my favourite ships. Quite a few weren't guessed, so I'm going to tell you about them anyway. Because I want to. Here we go... )

Today, I:
01. Had a day off.
02. Watched a bunch of SGA season two commentaries (oh, Joe Flanigan, what is with your laugh?).
03. Made this fanlisting.
04. Made fruit crumble and used way too much sugar. It still rocked though.
05. Started making new codes for this neglected fanlisting.

Tomorrow, I:
01. Have to go to work *insert frowny face of consternation here*
02. Will continue to make codes for this neglected fanlisting.
03. Am going to make Mexican lasagne.

On Friday:
01. [info]chaletian's package arrived. Thanks, Liss! I'll get them sent back soon =)

01. I HAVE FINISHED THE RODNEY MCKAY FANLISTING! Well, I mean it's up and there are extras, but there are a billion more things I want to do which would all require rewatching SGA which is a time consuming proposition... ANYWAY, you can find the fanlisting at Mentally Unstable Like A Fox!, which has got to be one of the best lines ever uttered on TV ever.

02. Speaking of Rodney, now that A Town Called Eureka has established a bowling rivalry between Area 51 and Eureka I am totally imagining Rodney terrifying people through the medium of bowling. Awesome.

03. And speaking of A Town Called Eureka (which continues to be ace but I want more Zane please, and Taggart should come back, damnit), my flatmate, upon being confronted with the statement "He's so hot", reacted with "But he's old". This referenced Colin Ferguson and made me gasp with horror.

04. My foot is still all fucked up. It's so bruised that it looks dirty and it's still swollen. Swollen feet are weird. They look like fake, plastic feet. It has been suggested that I've probably sprained something, which is likely true. Shame on me and my drunken inability to walk down a hill.

05. I AM ON DAY TWO OF THREE CONSECUTIVE DAYS OFF, PEOPLE! IT IS A MIRACLE! A miracle that I have primarily been celebrating by working on the Rodney fanlisting and watching TV (today, some woman on Come Dine With Me made a Guinness punch which contained Guinness, raw eggs and condensed milk. I feel queasy just thinking about it). Tomorrow, and I make no promises, I MIGHT LEAVE THE FLAT *gasp*

Wow. So it was someone's leaving do last night and I got very drunk (and assumed control of the kitty which I can only hope I dispersed fairly at the end). I don't remember how I got home but I do remember falling down whilst walking towards the station and some guy trying to help me back up. Which is bad enough by itself but it turns out that in addition to a skinned knee, I've actually hurt one of my wrists and one of my feet. It's painful to walk. This is not a cool side effect of drinking.

Also, it's 7.32 and I think my hangover is starting to take effect *squints*

In happier news, I'm adopting the Rodney McKay fanlisting, which I still can't quite believe!

EDIT: Jesus, I'm so tempted to call in sick to work but I don't think "Sorry, can't work. Drunk." would be an acceptable excuse. Damn.

EDIT 2: I have also lost my voice. Super.

Things to do, things to do! Hurrah for things to do!

  • GO TO THE BANK AND CONVINCE THEM TO GIVE ME AN ACCOUNT SO I CAN TELL BARCLAYS TO FUCK OFF!
  • Go to the bottle bank x 3
  • Go to the post office I HAVE FINALLY DONE IT, [info]stillxmyxheart!!!
  • Arrange for redelivery of parcel ([info]veraxia, I suspect this is the stuff you sent me)
  • Do the dishes
  • Clean the bathroom
  • Iron shirts for work
  • Work out bills and actually pay them
  • Buy food (but mostly beer)
  • Replace batteries in smoke alarms
  • Put handles back on doors in hallway
  • Ring Mum
  • Ring Siobhan
  • Update The L.J. Smith Cover Resource ([info]windian, thanks for the e-mail you sent a couple of weeks ago about this. I'll be using what you sent as well as stealing from your site again =D )

In good news, I finally finished the Sam, Dean and Bobby fanlisting (Family Don't End With Blood). I've been so rubbish with fanlistings lately that it makes me sad. The problem, I think, is that my work schedule is totally fucked. I have no routine because I'm taking extra hours all over the place (I worked 92 hours of overtime in June). But, hey, at least I might be able to pay my bills this summer so that's good, right?

EDIT: I CANNOT FIND MY PASSPORT AND I CAN'T OPEN A BANK ACCOUNT WITHOUT IT. I HAD IT YESTERDAY SO WHERE THE FUCK HAS IT GONE?!

01. Happy belated birthday to [info]veraxia and [info]th3newblack! [info]veraxia, I have a gift in mind for you but I'm broke so it may be delayed (read: will be delayed). Sorry!

02. Never before in my life have I watched the weather forecast and willed the bands of rain to actually cover the city I'm living in. They didn't. They surrounded Glasgow like the fucking teases they are and I almost cried. TOO HOT. (Actually, it is cooler today. Thank fuck.)

03. Oh, Stargate: Atlanis, you are so strange. I still love half of you passionately and get really fucking annoyed at the other half. You SERIOUSLY lost your way in season three and didn't even give me enough Lorne to compensate. Dude, how much do I love Lorne? And he's not even in it that much but seriously, LOVE HIM. There was a run of really good episodes in season three (The Real World, Common Ground, Me and Mrs. Miller) but there was some real dross in there two. Besides which, I don't really care about the Wraith or the Replicators. And can we please stop having people immediately set themselves up as enemies when they're really on the same side as SGA? BORED NOW. Oh well, at least I got to see Lorne painting in Sunday (EVEN THOUGH OMG, CARSON!). Even though Elizabeth completely undermined herself time and time again, I'm not overly pleased with her replacement by Carter. I'm going to stop now because this is really disjointed and no one cares. YOU SHOULD, THOUGH!

04. I forgot to renew my domain and it expired last night. Ooops. It's fixed now though, so yay.

05. My work rang me this morning and my immediate thought was 'I'm DEFINITELY not supposed to be at work today!' followed by me panicking because I probably was (I wasn't. They wanted to know if I could do some overtime).

06. Barclay's fucked me over again earlier this week, so that's nice. I'm very not impressed and may have to kill them all.

07. I have lots of things to do today (including the Sam, Dean & Bobby fl) but I'm all muzzy and I just want to lie on my bed and do nothing. Because I'm so cool like that.

Can someone do me a favourite and try to join the Walter Skinner fanlisting (I'll delete your application rather than adding you, nath)? Someone sent me an e-mail saying they're getting errors with it but when I joined with a different e-mail address it worked fine :/

I BOUGHT TWO 650ml BOTTLES OF HEINEKEN AND NOW I AM GOING TO DRINK THEM AND WATCH YESTERDAY'S LIONS MATCH!!

My mother flies in tomorrow and then on Thursday we both fly to an UNDISCLOSED LOCATION to celebrate my birthday, so here are the things wot I must do before then. So I don't forget and then cry when I get evicted for not paying my bills.

  • Pay loan
  • Change broadband provider (Dear BT, you suck. A lot. Stop spending all your money on ads assuring us your broadband connection is superfantastic. It is not.)
  • Hoover bedroom
  • Clean bathroom (this always seems to be on my to-do lists.)
  • Add Polish covers to The L.J. Smith Cover Resource
  • Update TFL category
  • Build the Hardison & Eliot fanlisting (seems unlikely I will get this done in time)
  • Beautify myself
  • Decide what clothes to pack for trip to UNDISCLOSED LOCATION (I ironed. I'm so proud of myself it's not even funny.)
  • Watch Serenity to finish off the Firefly rewatch
  • Eat

I've just finished my Generation X fanlisting! Join me in joyous, celebratory dancing! And then check it out at So Far Past Normal. Then you should totally join, tell me it's fabulous (I mean, I know it's okay, but again, lie to me) and then make with the joyous, celebratory dancing once more.

GOOD TIMES!!

I fucking FINALLY finished the Iceman fanlisting *wipes brow* I've been working on it for three weeks solid, which is ridiculous. I can't even remember the last time I turned my computer off. Poor computer!

Anyway, it's done and I'm fairly happy with it. I'm hoping to keep adding stuff to the fansite bit and I want to use the fansite as a template for all my other X-fanlistings because I like what I have there, and the other X-Men need love too (especially, Chamber. Jono, baby, I haven't forgotten about you!).

So, yes, go visit and join and tell me that you love it (if you don't love it, that's okay, but lie to me anyway ;D )!

I've given up on the content for the Iceman fanlisting for now because I got to Opal and could that shit be any more depressing?

I'm now reading J2 fic, drinking beer and wondering what the fuck 'Irish Fries' are. Because to me it means nothing, though if pushed I would postulate it was a fry-up, which the fic clearly indicates it is not. Maddening.

And I am still waiting to be entertained by you lot. Pfft, some use you all are ;p

So, I am currently procrastinating in order to avoid cleaning my room. My procrastination is taking the form of reading the TFL boards which has led me to reading some wishlists. And I quote from the most... 'interesting':

"Edward and Isabella (Bella) Swan Cullen
This relationship reminds me and my love so much of ourselves that we had to stop reading the second book because it threw us both into a very hard depression. There are so many insane similarities between us and them that I have truly fallen in love with this relationship almost as much as my own. I have never found one that I loved as much as this one, and I'm obsessed with it. Everyone obsesses over Edward and how romantic he is and everything, but I obsess over the relationship between Edward and Bella. It highly interests me to see my Michael as a vampire, and to see my one friend as a werewolf. It's just neat. What makes me laugh most are all of the characters around their relationship that fit perfectly with people around us. Yes, of course they are relatable. It is a book after all, but still. There are some crazy similarities that even scare me."

I basically spent the weekend drinking and watching various sporting events, which was nice, but I did end up spending more money than I should have. Good beer is sadly expensive *le sigh*

I also got my phone and wallet back which is great, but then I promptly spilled beer on the phone somehow and the display's gone all wonky. And at some point I acquired an enormous bruise on my arm. Such is the way of drinking, I suppose.

Let's see... news... Yeah, I don't really have any. I finished the Gambit fanlisting at last. You can take a looksee at Past Sins. I'm pretty happy with the end result, but now it's quietly taunting me with its lack of extras. Damn. Still working on the Jamie Madrox and LJS fanlistings.

I've been working on a layout for the Gambit fanlisting for a few hours now and I fucking hate what I've come up with. It's absolute crap. God damnit!

Does anyone have any good Gambit scans they'd like to share with me? I can't find a good resource and all my comics are either in Ireland or packed up in boxes in the corner of my room. It's at times like these that I really miss [info]arrowisland's X-Men sites.

In summary: ARGH!

(I did finish, and am satisfied with, the Benton Fraser fanlisting though, so that's something. I also finished the Constantine fanlisting, but I'm waiting for the members list so no linkage there.)
