Hello All!

Well, I got sick. Then I got better...ish. I'm still sniffly, but not sore. Well, I'm sore and achy, but that's related to ladies-time issues and not flu-time issues. Anyways, things are generally well. I have more ramblings under the cut, as well as some interesting images of comic/film characters with beards, the absolutely cutest kitty video ever, my holiday wish list, and Christmas Music.

Also, if you'd like a Christmas card from me here in SF, drop me an email with your addy via a private journal message or my email at vinniethebutcher@hotmail.com or alicektk@gmail.com.

Updateyness

Well, it's been an interesting few weeks.

Two weeks ago, my Dad called, sniffling, crying. My Dad doesn't cry often. It turns out my Mom's dog, Sweetness (who was only a year old) ran out on the road and died. My Dad was crying, my Mom was crying, it was sucky all around.

But my Mom then got a rescue dog named Matilda, but my Mom renamed her Sweetie? Noticing a theme? Not yet? Well, we used to have goats. One was named Love, the other Sweetestheart.

Yeah, whatever.

In other news, Halloween happened. I spent Halloween at my friend Anna's house (she's the coworker I adopted because despite how different we are, we get on well, and because it makes me an Auntie).

I was a bad witch, and she was a good witch (though it was only denoted through the use of black and white clothing).

I'm the one in the middle. The monkey in the middle, if you will.

 Anywhoo, in work news, my boss called me into a meeting, which I knew would be one of those performance review type things.  I was in the middle of something, so my hands were shaking as I finished my assignment.  Anyways, it was quick, and he told me I was off of probation and that everything was pleased with my work.  I've made a few mistakes in the past few months, but none of that was mentioned, just that everyone had noticed my improved attitude and work ethic, which was cool.  But I did take the chance to address some of my mistakes and mention I'd learned from them, just as a sort of preemptive strike for my end of year preformance evaluation. 

But yeah, things is good.

Love to all you all!

Good Crack Sports Commericals

So, my husband is all about the San Jose Sharks, and the local sports network shows almost all of their games, so some of the Sharks do commercials. They're pretty crack, but they amuse the fuck out of me. So I share with you.

The one features Joe Thornton. People tell me he's one of the best players in the NHL (a fact I have no frickin' clue about).



This one features the head coach, Todd McLellan.


And this one is the newest, featuring Joe Pavelski.

Spander Fic: Botched Spell, Part 6/6, ADULT

Title: Botched Spell, Part 6/6
Author’s: cinderella81 and vinniebatman.
Rating: Adult
Disclaimer: We are not Joss Whedon, we are not Mutant Enemy. We don’t own these characters and make no profit from this story.
Spoilers: Takes place after “Buffy vs. Dracula” in season 5. According to canon, Xander worked on that one construction job in the episode “Pangs” in season four. A few episodes later he was delivering pizza, then worked fast food again, before returning to construction., but assumes Xander didn’t start working construction until sometime in season 5, before episode 3, “The Replacement.” So this may be fudging the timeline a wee bit, but please bear with us.
Summary: Buffy casts a spell to create understanding between Spike and Xander. But it’s the Hellmouth, so of course something wonky happens.

First Fic Rec Ever

So, I don't rec fics. But I came across a fic that many of my f-listers might not stumble across, so I wanted to share.

If you like Supernatural, Leverage, or Torchwood, you might want to read this fic.

"How Ianto Jones Quits His Job and Decides to Take Over the World (Without the Help of a Kangaroo Army).

This crack of the highest caliber. The primary pairing is Dean/Ianto/Hardison, with references to Jack/Ianto, Dean/Castiel, and Parker/Hardison.

But the crack! Good Lord!

Warning: fic includes non-graphic references to sex, hacking, creating super-awesome fake I.D.'s, Dean's fear of Picasso, tea with whiskey, Sam being a geek, Dean trying to kill Jack, Ianto trying to kill Castiel, mockery of the Welsh, Parker giving her version of the "if you hurt him, I'll kill you" speech, and references to world conquest and kangaroo armies.

If you are intrigued by any of these fandoms, I suggest readings. It's cracky good times.
