I'm very lucky, because hungry_worm sent me chocolate biscuits. They're extremely chocolatey and delicious. Mmmm. Also note the homemade protective packaging, which I love to bits.

In other news, I did 4 miles on the bike yesterday, taking me to a total of 17.5

Climb a steep slope. Pippins yawns (Nearly midnight)


I put Akira to one side because I wasn't getting in to it and tried The Machinist instead, except that the spooky thinness of Christian Bale must've caused my TV to blow a gasket. It died right in front of my eyes and now only makes sad clunking noises when I switch it on, with no picture. Have spotted a likely replacement on ebay-- taxi distance, 3 years old and with a 28 inch screen. It's currently at £50 quid.

Beached soy sauce fish in the washing up bowl at work. I like the way they are even lying in little puddles.

Only 300 photos to go - well, 299, because this was yesterday's one. It might be one of my favourites so far.

The nearly-flooded Thames on the way towards Sonning. Lots of water and sky, and wet feet.

Claims are open at the springkink, here and here. It's hard to resist, and they can be as little as 500 words, right? Like tiny little treats. I might have put my name down for a few...

Late night AIMing sometimes throws up strange things from my brain, like I'm already dreaming. It's a phenomena often noticed.

Which I think is why emungere wrote me the beginning of a poem about Tennyson mysteriously catapulted through time only to fall in love with Johnny Weir.

I don't know either! No, I do. It's because I said Tennyson was hot when he was younger. With fabulous hair! I saw this portrait of him in the National Gallery, you see, and things went from there.


She is a strange and wonderful person. ♥

In other news, there are 14 photos up now on my 365 project.

One photo a day for 365 days. I can do that. In fact I can do a lot more than that, but the point is apparently that you pick one photo a day that best sums up the memorable thing about your day. It can be anything, really: work, home, places, people, stuff. Already I am wondering how you take pictures of fandom.

If you're interested and want to keep up with developments, I made a Flickr account for it, here: Louise's 365 project

As for Flickr, it dives me a bit nuts and the layout confuses me on a daily basis. I'm not sure yet how to make them show up in chronological order so at the moment the latest one is at the beginning. It's still probably easier than using lj galleries though.

ps - more people should do this, and let me know if you do. It's not too late to start.
