Notes to self  
Never eat chicken that's past its sell-by date - even if it smells fresh.

Never stay up to watch crap TV when you've already had less than six hours sleep in the previous 3 days and have to be up for work five hours after you go to bed.

Never forget your glasses when you know you're going to be working at a PC all day.

(feeling kinda crappy right now, can you tell?)

Other than that I had a fairly productive weekend - I finally got a chapter of an on-going fic finished and sent to [livejournal.com profile] willowmina to beta. Finally got round to listing all the stuff I need to do for Effects of a Troubled Heart. Bought myself an outfit for the Saturday night 'Jedi Knights' theme for the Serenity convention at the end of the month. Got some serious reading of actual books done (funny how working in a library actually puts me off reading books!) Kept right on top of nominations for WKA as they came in.

Oh, I have a question for you all - there was a nomination recieved yesterday which I'm reticent to put in the categories it's nominated for since it would be a little unfair to judge it against the other fics in the category because it's so vastly different. (Okay, I wasn't going to say what it was but I'm getting all tangled up in knots here so I may as well say why it doesn't fit - it's a poem. And a slightly abstract poem at that.)

So my question is this, should I add (halfway through nominations) a category for the 'stuff that doesn't fit in other categories'? Or should I hang onto it until nominations close and see if any other nominations come in that don't fit elsewhere?
 
 
Current Mood: crappy

I'd say create one now, it might encourage people to nominate a fic (or something else) that they think is good but doesn't really fit anywhere. Just be sure to state it has to be writing unless you want people to start nominating FanVids and such like.

y'know I hadn't even considered the fact that other media might be nominated.

Again, something I wouldn't really be averse to but the criteria for judging a poem against a fanvid against a song against a piece of fanart would be mind-boggling.

Hmmm. will need to ponder this some more

Feel less crappy soon Sho:)

Btw, have you seen the new Serenity release date? 7th October:) (Moved so as not to clash with Harry Potter apparently.)

thanks Becks - I saw that and am getting very very excited about it!

(tell me you're dressing up for the Saturday by the way?! Please?)

I haven't got any dressing up sorted out. (Well I found, but haven't yet bought, a toy gun in the poundshop for the Wild West theme and I spotted a cowboy hat, but I doubt it will fit because it's in the Early Learning Centre!) I also spotted some cute sheep - but since it's not that kind of shepherds they're looking, for I moved on!

I haven't had even a vague idea for saturday night (it's Star Wars right?)- but I did notice that the Argos catalogue had a Darth Vada outfit - sadly only for 3-7 year olds - and some other Star Wars related stuff.

Heh! 'tis indeed Star Wars - Jedi Knights no less. You can't see her clearly in this picture but just over Han's let shoulder is Mara - I'm trying to get my outfit to look like hers: http://people.mainz.netsurf.de/~engler/images/covers/0553100351.jpg

And I was in New Look yesterday (looking for a top that in any way resembled Mara's) and spotted some cowboy hats...

Feeling better now - got home lasat night and just curled up on the sofa for a few hours. No computer, no TV, nothing. It was bliss.

And the chicken thing was all my fault - need to pay more attention to the sell-by date on stuff like that. Especially on stuff like that.
