Title: Visitation
Author: ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) vl_redreign
Prompt: Solstice
Notes: Only one tonight, I'm afraid. Long ago, it was decided by my fellow bitchesofbritin that South was my corner to call. I'm a Fire element, according to them. callie89 made this icon for me, I thought I'd use it tonight.
The night was cold and clear, the snowstorm having moved north.
On Liberty Avenue, lights glowed from businesses, and people walked slowly, almost contemplatively. Greetings and holiday wishes were shouted back and forth.
Brian and Justin shared dinner and quips with Jennifer and Molly.
Ted and Blake were sitting together, listening to Verdi.
In Toronto, Gus was sneaking most of his underwear back out of his bag.
When he fell asleep, Lindsay put them back.
Ben explained various Solstice traditions to Michael and Hunter.
Debbie and Emmett shared ice cream and watched old movies.
Vic smiled down upon them all. |

| metafandom and its discontents |
[Dec. 20th, 2009|10:33 pm] |
There's been a big discussion going on in Greater Fandom over the community/asylum ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) metafandom, which puts out a list of links to interesting meta discussions across all the journaling sites every few days.
Nutshell: They aren't linking to much meta lately. Why?
I found a lot of interesting people to follow by reading metafandom, and read some truly thought-provoking discussions. And I used to submit my stuff to them from time to time, and they would link to it, which I enjoyed.
But the last three or four times I submitted a link, either mine or someone else's, either QAF-specific or "big picture" fandom meta, it was just ignored. I never knew if they just didn't like it, or didn't get it, or what the problem was.
I have nothing profound to add. I just assumed its moderators were in an echo chamber and didn't want minor fandoms, or maybe just didn't care for what I had to say, or possibly that moderator interest had waned and people's submissions were not being looked at anymore. I'm not an insider in that world and honestly can't say what happened, or why, or really, even when.
But I do miss how it used to be, and miss seeing my stuff get linked to. I hope all this discussion results in a more diverse and vibrant metafandom experience for us all.ETA: Just checked, and the last post of mine linked to from metafandom was last April... this one. |

| Just a short update on ma boys' health |
[Dec. 20th, 2009|04:06 pm] |
because some people wanted to know how they are doing:
They are doing great!!!
We started Ronny on his heart medication eight weeks ago,which started out with a lot of vomiting and diarrhea on his part,until the vet finally found the right medication.During this time he had to see the vet three times a week and he wasn't really happy about it. ;)
Sometimes his heart was beating too slow,and then it was beating too fast, but just yesterday the vet said that now his heart is beating regular and that it sounds really good..so YAY!!!
And with all the test the ved had done he found out that Ronny's blood pressure is a bit too high.So now he is taking medication for that,too.
Giving him his medication was a pain in the ass for the first few day,but now he's used to get his liverwurst first thing in the morning...;D
Remember Benny and his fat tumor right above his left shoulder joint?
Well,turns out that it isn't THAT big anymore and that he doesn't need to have surgery.
So that's YAY too,right?
Right now he's outside,playing in the snow and digging holes into the ground.Ronny is sitting right beside me on the couch.He hates the cold and the snow and Benny loves it as much as he loves the sand on the beach...;) |

I really really think someone, or multiple someones ought to write a fic or drabble inspired by this icon.
In case you have bad eyes it says: "Later, Brian blamed the spiked office party punch. And Justin." |

| Lunch and shopping in San Francisco |
[Dec. 19th, 2009|09:12 pm] |
I met up with the lovely xie_xie_xie today for a lovely lunch and afternoon of shopping today.
Do you have any idea how hard it is to find an ankle-length skirt!?!? IMPOSSIBLE!!!!
Xie needed a new lipstick, so we trekked to Neiman-Marcus, where I watched her "get her makeup did." A lot of fun, actually, and the salesgirl was so effing cute. I wanted to stick her in my purse, but some people consider that kidnapping.
We wandered upstairs, still in search of the eleusive ALS, and walked right into heaven.
HEAVEN, I tell you!!!
For just ahead, in all its red-soled splendor, was the Christian Louboutin display.
See these?
OMGSQUEE!!!!
I touched these, and had a quiet, dignified, tasteful spontaneous orgasm. I did, ask Xie!!!
She dragged me away from there, at which time I performed unnatural acts on pairs of Stella McCartney's, Stuart Weitzman's and Manolo Blahniks. As we were leaving, I touched the Louboutins once more. I'm sure they winked at me.
We finally found what I was looking for at Forever 21. Come Christmas, I will post pics of our most excellent finds.
All in all, a wonderful day, with absolutely insanely gorgeous weather (mid 60's!! EYE NOES, RIGHT!?!?), considering that when I left home, it was foggy.
Now I have to think up some drabbles for tonight's prompt at qaf_drabbles. Come check out the Gusmas Drabble Challenge!! |
