I did one of my putting-off-doing things! From here on out to be known as a POD. Before I came into work I sorted through all the junk on my dining table. Things were thrown out, filed, stacked, put where ever they needed to go. Hey, do you know that dining tables actually have flat, bare surfaces? And that their real purpose is for dining, not for holding books, junk mail, sweaters, receipts, bags, beading supplies, or as places for cats to sleep? Who'da thunk it.

Speaking of the unexpected, here's the drabble I wrote for open_on_sunday this week along that theme:

( Wes/Fred, at the end of Smile Time )

Poor Wesleykins. I really need to write some Wesley schmoop. If anybody needs fluffy, schmoopy, happy good times it's poor put-upon Wes. He needs a hug and a cup of cocoa and lots of hot, sweaty sex. Uh, yeah.

Is the reality show dying out? (please please please please)

Please God, let this be the end of this crap!

Fox says it needs to lay off on reality

Of course, they'll probably just come up with a different kind of crap to replace this crap. Oh, crap.

"They invented, um, I don't know, like, chairs, or something."

I've been delegated the ARTstor knowledge person at our library so I'm having to learn all about it. ARTstor is an online digital art library that we've recently subscribed to. I have learned a bunch of stuff like how to create folders and set up restrictions and save images and that junk, but of course I'm being distracted by all the pretty pictures!

I've discovered as I've gotten older I have more of an appreciation of minimalism and simplistic design. I love mid-20th century design. Chairs. Eames chairs are awesome. There's like screen after screen of Eames chairs on this site. Neutra houses. Not sure if I could live in one, but they're so pretty. And I love the artistic quality of everyday objects, like teapots and clocks and utensils. They even have things like radios and tvs and computers. I love seeing how shapes and colors change in design over time, and how they seem to repeat themselves after awhile too.

I wish I could link to some of these images (a no-no in our subscription contract, so I can't!). There's a tilt-back Eames chair that is just awesome.

Angel/Wes fic, yay!

Squee!! janedavitt has just posted the Angel/Wes charity fic that I requested:

Take Comfort in This

Smutty, angsty h/c. Fabulous.

This will probably be the last bit of spam tonight. Maybe. I think. Probably.
