There's not much and I'm not surprised. But I am sticking with this until I am more awake again and my ability to write down (and hopefully remember) things will be better again. It's marginally better than the eight things I had in December.

Celebrity cameos/guest appearances are their own category when it comes to award shows. Can there be too many famous faces in a show? When were these done well or poorly?

*the 9 am work meeting yesterday was CANCELLED, WHAT???

*I mean, yay! Huzzah! But also hey, I tried really hard to be on time for that, and it was all for naught!

*felt so grumpy by the time I got through the remaining work meetings that I wrote a thousand words of fanfic

*spite = my primary motivation to do most things, honestly

*and now it's Tuesday!

Fandom: Stargate Atlantis
Characters/Pairings: John Sheppard/Rodney McKay, Elizabeth Weir, Carson Beckett, Aiden Ford
Rating: Explicit
Length: 8100
Content Notes: no AO3 warnings apply
Creator Links: astolat on AO3
Themes: Inept in love, Friends to lovers, First time, Favorite fanworks

Summary: In which Rodney and John fail to pay attention.

Reccer's Notes: For me, this is the ultimate "inept in love" fic. It's clever, very funny, and brilliantly written, as Rodney bounces blithely from assumption to oblivious assumption, with John startled by the sudden sex they're having, but somehow never managing to communicate clearly that Rodney's got it all wrong about them being in a relationship - until it's finally totally clear that they both are. An all-time classic!

Hi, all!

We previously hosted our achievement badges on image-hosting site Imgur, but on 30 September, Imgur blocked people in the UK from accessing its content. It’s taken us a little while, but we’ve uploaded the badges to a private hosting site.

We’ve updated the Achievement Badges page and the Creator and Community Reports.

How do I update my badge links if I want to do that?
To update your badge links:

  1. Go to the Creator Report and search on your username.

  2. Under Details, click Badges, and then under View, click Badges again.



    Result: The badges you’ve earned will display, with a Copy Embed button under each.

  3. Click the Copy Embed button under each of your badges, and paste the embed codes in place of your old badge links.


I can still see my badges! Do I have to update the links?
We have no plans to remove or change the old Imgur links. If you have badges embedded on your profile page or anywhere else, you can leave your badge links as is. But if you do, the badges will not be visible to people in the UK.

Hello, fellow fitness folks! I hope you're keeping warm (or cool) and well wherever you are. The weather has somewhat moderated here in my part of the world, but it won't last. Still, I'll take my chances to get outdoors while I've got them.

As usual, please share how you've been doing with your goals, big and/or small. I hope you've got successes to report, but if you don't, please know that you'll get nothing but support from me.

My Week in Review )

Have a good week, be kind to yourself, find joy where you can, and enjoy the quiet moments when they come to you.

Last week, one of my coworkers decided it would be a Great Idea (TM) to schedule a meeting for 9 am on Monday morning. (NOTE: This is never a Great Idea.)

[NOTE 2: The LAST time someone scheduled a 9 am meeting on Monday, I promptly forgot about it and didn't log in for work until 9:15. This wound up working out fine for me, because the person who scheduled the meeting was out sick and had cancelled it. But it was still kind of stressful for those few minutes between realizing 'oh no the meeting!' and 'wait actually it's fine.']

Given this historical evidence, I put '9 am monday meeting' into my habitica tasks, and have been looking at it every day since. UGH, WHY. (is what I think every time I see it)

BUT NOW IT IS MONDAY. GO TIME.

lol I'm going to go for a walk. Sure do hope I don't forget to come back in time for the 9 am Monday morning meeting!

Challenge #05: In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts.

01. Icons Of: Huo Wensi and/or Huo Wensi/Luo Fei from the cdrama Detective L.

02. Recommendations of programs to create fanwork. This is quite a specific one because I've been itching for years to create something, from icons and graphics to fanvids because I have ideas. I used to have a program ages ago (Microsoft's Picture It!) which I created various things including graphics for the fanmixes I did way back when, but that was on an old computer and that program has long since been discontinued and defunct. I've been attempting to look for comparable programs, however my findings lead me to being confused and overwhelmed and a bit apprehensive on the legitimacy since some places are websites only instead of a program you download onto your computer, and even then I don't want to download anything that is going to take forever to load or cause problems, which I know is a risk for anything these days anyway.

So, my request is mainly for the graphic makers and vidders in fandom: what programs do you use, your pros and cons for them, how much of a learning curve there is and if there is good tutorial out there. Note that I mainly use my laptop, I don't do anything on mobile.
