Okaayyy... What the Fork?

In response to the "Review of the First Episode of Once Upon a Time" that I'd posted to Ao3 last year.

This is the first Once fic on here.

Wait, really? Because you wrote this comment a month ago and I see one fic older than it now, which means that someone must've backdated their fic recently. (it's backdated to 1950?? either a glitch or someone lied abt when they wrote this fic)

Edit: I don't think that's the case actually. Can you see locked fics? Because the 1950 fic is locked and it seems like it's been shown as 1950 for a while now, so it's most likely you just didn't see the other fic.

Also, it should be noted that my post isn't fan fiction. It's a "review" of a Once Upon a Time television episode. (I think you both may have commented on the wrong post by accident?)

So apparently some folks either don't know the difference between "meta" and "fan fiction" or ...they need to work on their reading comprehension skills???

Day #42 - of year 2...

Pretty day - I went to the fruit and vegetable store to pick up eggs and cream for a quiche. ( Read more... )

Mother: I told your brother about your photography hobby.
Me: Oh.
Mother: He said if you really want a good camera - he can point you in the right direction, but that the iphone also works. I told him that you seemed to be happy with your phone. And had the eye for it.
ME: True. I wouldn't know what to do with an actual camera - I'd have to take a course.
Mother: According to your brother, the UK isn't letting anyone leave the country. People can come in, but UK citizens can't leave.
ME: odd, I hadn't heard that.

UK friends reading this? Care to chime in? Is this true? Is bro right - you can't leave the UK? I figure you would know, considering you actually are living over there. Assuming of course you are reading this? [See, put it in bold, so you might see it, and everything.)

I still might. I've been flirting with taking some art courses - and getting back into it. I find art relaxing, and the part of my brain utilized comforting. Hint? It's the non-analytical side.

Mother: The writing in this soap opera is horrible. ( Read more... )

Hmm, guiche came out looking tasty. Taking off for a bit to eat a slice.



Came out a lot better than expected, even better than the last one. Apparently layering with cheese, then spinach, then bacon pieces, and then egg and milk mixture was the perfect solution. I added red and black pepper, garlic salt, fresh dill and fresh basil.

In other news, had the oddest debate with a couple of commentators on Ao3, apparently they missed the memo on the site becoming a fandom archive for meta and fanfic, not just fanfiction? And assumed all posts were fanfic, even if it was rather obvious that they weren't? I don't know. The mind boggles.

( bewildering fans )

Some people bewilder me.



Well, I now remember why I didn't smoke pot that often in school or since. It makes me incredibly woozy and sick.
( why THC and me are unmixy things apparently.. or last night's panic attack )

In COVID news?

New York has decided to make vaccines available to everybody, no appointment necessary. [They are getting desperate. They have 40% with one dose, and 33% with both, they want 80%.
( from Governor's nightly email )

New York will adopt the new CDC mask guidance for fully vaccinated people. Fully vaccinated individuals can conduct outdoor activities or gather without wearing a mask outdoors except in certain crowded settings and venues. Read the full CDC guidance.

This is kind of confusing. Does this mean I can now wander about my neighborhood and its environs, maskless? I mean, in Brooklyn, you can without warning run into about thirty people all at once. Also can I do the park?

I'm considering trying the park. But it's really hard not to wear a mask outdoors, unless I'm alone. Even though I'm fully vaccinated.
( why we're opening up - I've no clue. )

( maybe this is why - 44% of New Yorkers have completed one dose and 31% are fully vaccinated )

Ugh allergies are making me crazy tonight. I may need to put on the A/c to clean the air.

According to mother, niece went to her prom with a girlfriend, the girlfriend wore a tux, and niece wore a dress. Her friend really wanted to go to it.

Me: They had a prom. Was it outdoors?
Mother: No, indoors, but everyone was tested, and/or vaccinated.
Me: Her school?
Mother: No, another high school I think.
Me: Okaaay.

Niece doesn't appear to care that much about graduating, she figures she'll graduate when she gets her BA, high school doesn't matter. I think now that she has decided to stick at Simon Rock until she gets her BA through Bard College, and do foreign exchange stuff - she's stopped worrying about it?

I worry about niece, but alas, not my kid.

Mother got her CAT Scan today, and now her left groin is bothering her, her right is the injured one. And her left hip was already replaced.
I will not worry about her - can't do anything anyhow. Cousin posted a video about the reason his mother and her generation has hip replacements is they were all doing too many hip dances as teens. (I decided not to tell him that if they'd been doing hip dances as teens and adults, they most likely wouldn't need the surgery.)

Good night.
