Seventeen days until Long Way Home is finally out, whee!! Yes of course I am counting down the days. Sillies.
This was a quiet weekend. Lots of reading to do, went shopping for a couple of recipes - the baba ganoush sucked and got thrown out, but the 'pasta-less total-vegan lasagna' is cooking happily in the crockpot. For the first time, we finally had that lovely 'hint of fall' in the air so the back door has been open and the pups have been in and out, though have been in when I think they should be out. LOL. Dorky dogs. I honestly am so very grateful it is October. Yay for summer being over! Although, July's trip to the UK definitely was the big bright time, making this summer awesome.
Merlin - yes, I loved it! Watched it twice, am absolutely enamoured of the 35mm. It truly makes a huge difference. It is kinda funny though, seeing places where Nick and I tromped around ourselves - especially the woodsy scenes which for us were filled with the sounds of kids kids and more kids. Bradley James has, I gotta admit, completely stolen me with this episode. Thought he did a fabulous job with all the little moments, both serious and tender, the scary scenes (WHEE! SCARY!) and the funny scenes. I loved the buddy moments between him and Merlin, also, and he and the knights. I like how this character finally is acting like a King-to-be. :) Looking forward to next week!
Supernatural - yes, I loved it! But I am keeping my mouth shut about everything because it doesn't matter anyway. LOL. Next week should be interesting.
Writing - talked with the editor about horror in m/m fiction and she likes my idea I have so am going forward with planning that, to be my project for Nano. ZOMBIES!!!!!!!!!!! LOL. This should be fun!
Here's the lasagna as it starts to cook. I think we'll be eating this for a few days. LOL.

Date: 2011-10-03 02:57 am (UTC)LOL It could totally flop. It is nothing like ARTS and I am afraid readers will expect that. I will never write another book like that. Can't. But, I am cheerily optimistic! *bites nails*

C, I've been making cupcakes all day and I'm exhausted. But they're all frosted and awaiting nommage, so that's good.
It's almost 16 days...

Date: 2011-10-03 04:35 am (UTC)I am not a crock-fiend as I think sometimes crockpots just are overkill. This came out really well but ended up more stew-ish than anything. Definitely not layers, but definitely delicious. :) I'll make it again but in a pan, I think.
