icepixieLook at this gorgeous ten-day forecast. I think I'm going to wear a skirt to work on Wednesday or Thursday. (Okay, that might be pushing it somewhat for outside, but the office is always really warm, so I think it'll work out for me.)
It can be springtimez nao? Maybe? It's already been in the 60s since Friday!

I read a book the other day I thought I'd recommend: As She Climbed Across the Table, by Jonathan Lethem. If Nick Hornby and Tom Stoppard teamed up to write a novel about quantum physics, love, and American academia, it would look a lot like this. Although this novel was a bit more lightweight than the hypothetical one they would produce would be, I think. Still enjoyable, though.

wintercreek did this meme, and I couldn't resist: Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. I've got non-descriptive and ridiculous in spades. Pick any of them (as many as you want) and I'll either post a snippet or explain what the heck it's about.

Re: Oh, sorry, I missed the offer to post a snippet
Date: 2011-02-14 11:27 pm (UTC)The plan for that one is that Meg went to Toronto, got bored because she didn't have Fraser involving her in crazy crime-fighting activities, and requested a posting where she could be more involved in field work. (I'm not entirely certain canon fully supports me in this, but I feel like she really misses field work and secretly relishes the opportunities she gets to do it thanks to Fraser's crazy cases, and wanted to poke at that in fic for a while.) And of course there is UST that is damn well going to turn into RST this time, and if I can manage a PLOT, OMG, a case of some kind where they each get to be awesome in their own unique ways...
