Stop the World!

ACK! I'm still trying to get through some recs a friend sent (nice fluffy squicky ones:) and then you guys go and write MORE and MORE brilliant fic! Gimme a chance to catch up!

However- I'm happy to drop everything to beta. That's my thanks to all the writers out there who feed my addiction. (Note to my BSG authors- please capitalise your "Numbered" characters. If you don't, until I get the context of the sentence, I never know if you mean the actual number or the character. That last fic was like swimming through treacle.)

In other news, the kids' nursery have their Christmas concert today. I expect much cuteness.

Do you think I could take some fic into work with me and pretend it's Occupational Health forms. (C'mon, most of the one I'm reading at the moment is set in the hospital.)

In Ho news, did anyone see Emmy's truly awful hair yesterday?

WARNING: MAJOR THUDDAGE

Emmy, skip to the end.

OMGOMGOMGOMG! It's been a long time since a photo or a fic has actually made me THUD but FUCK ME if this fic isn't doing it to me.

I'm sure a lot of my Friends have read this already- it's not perfect, but the scene at the ball is the thuddiest thing I've read in I don't know how many bloody years! Read the chapters leading up to the scene, don't skip ahead or it won't be as profound. It's a clever story and reads pretty easily. And don't be put off by the title (yes, I did get it off the mpreg comm's rec list)- I promise there's no squickage.

And yes, I know this is a show tune, but luckily I hadn't heard it before, so I will now always associate with this scene. And now I'm listening to it over and over on my iPod.

Whew.

In other news, the kids' Christmas concert was SO DAMNED SWEET! I almost cried. Doug couldn't get away from work (and was probably covered in oil anyway) but I got a ton of (mostly) blurry pictures. Awwwwww.

Oh, and I've been asked to go to another job interview! I applied for this one before the interview of the one I've accepted. So, that's three job interviews- woohoo! I won't attend, obviously, and I didn't attend the other one, once I'd found out about my job with the Primary Care Trust. The other two weren't paid as well and they were also based at the Radcliffe, where I would no doubt have spent most of my mornings looking for a place to park. The PCT job is on the bypass (so I don't have to drive into town- and negotiate all the poncy students in their poncy clothes on their poncy bikes- apologies if anyone reading this is a student at Oxford).

Two last comments: Em, you're having a much better hair day today. Maybe you should get the Chair to make that new coffee. Without the calories, of course- we're all eating enough chocolate now as it is.

Why, oh why are there people out on the &%$£"^ing firing range at this time of night? I'm trying to have a relaxing read here!
