Update on life

Whoa, [livejournal.com profile] saiyuki_time has taken off well. From Wednesday to today, 29 answers to the prompts. Go peeps!

It's been a social whirl chez Lux. We discovered a great new pub near us called the Nag's Head and there has been much drinking of real ale and matching hangovers. We went to see a friend's band on Thursday and they did the most fabulous covers of Dolly Parton and Johnny Cash and Loretta Lynn. The pub was tiny, like being jammed into someone's front room, but it was such a lot of fun and there was whooping and shrieking.

Today I need to do some cleaning and shopping, so that the place is fit for [livejournal.com profile] daegaer's arrival this evening. I can't believe the weather forecast though, I thought March was suppsoed to go out like a lamb? Not with snow and gales. It just hailed, gahhh. Also, slugs are eating my delphiniums. There will be slug retribution, just wait. Hopefully in form of being eaten by frogs.

In hair dye news, the semi permanent coppery colour I used seems to have faded completely after about 8 washes instead of the 26 it said on the box. Huh. I tried a wash- in wash-out red too last night and it left absolutely no trace of colour in my hair. It did make it nice and shiny though.

In other news, my sweet charity fic is at about 8k and not even close to finishing. Ooops. I don't feel bad about this though, because I'm loving writing it. As to that, i really need to sit down and write more later today, as I've let it sit for about a week with only small updates.

Finally, in the great post of randomness, these are amazing: Disney heroes drawn as pin ups

Proof that [livejournal.com profile] daegaer has eaten my brain: your great new pub is called the Nagi's Head.

Oh god not that fanart. THEIR HIPS HURT ME. Though in general, I find the whole thing hilarious. XD Of all the concepts.

I guessed you were busy ... thanks for the link! (I like the artist's motto at the top: "Not that kind of guy." Uh huh. Yeah.)

...Oh my. Those Disney pinups make me feel a little dirty inside (my childhood! ruined!) but not enough to make me want to stop looking at them. *stares*
