Hm, it appears Dreamwidth's importer doesn't distinguish between things it's imported before and new content.

So now I have some duplicate entries to clean up. Oops. And I guess going forward the tidiest thing will be to create any new posts on DW and tick that crossposting ticky to mirror them to LJ. So that's what I'm doing.

LJ dearies, you can find me at janetlin.dreamwidth.org. Sorry it's been forever since I did html. I'm siesiegirl on Tumblr (mostly reblogs) and janetlin at Pillowfort. Still feeling my way around over there; so far it feels like kind of a cross between Tumblr and LJ/DW.

I'm not terribly active or engaged pretty much anywhere these days; I am job-hunting and very low on spoons, though today my applications for transcription and captioning were accepted so I have a bit of a band-aid in the meantime.

Hey has anyone heard from [livejournal.com profile] queer_theory? Been thinking about her lately but all her accounts have disappeared. :(

Ooh neat

This looks fun. And three sentences is about all the attention span I have right now.
janetlin: (NaNoWriMo)


Came up a little shy yesterday, but made it up today with a little bit of buffer.

My plan this year was to work on existing and/or unfinished pieces instead of starting something new, but what has grabbed me (for the moment, at least) is a rewrite/fix-it fic of Sleepy Hollow 2x5 The Weeping Lady mainly from Caroline's point of view. I've been mulling over it for a while - ever since it aired, honestly - and I had no idea it wanted so desperately to be written, but who am I to argue? ;)
janetlin: (Cheesy grin)
Agent Carter is coming tonight, eeeeeee!

My first generation nest hatched today.






They gave me a three-egg nest, which I figured was pretty good odds of getting _something_ decent.



Alas, only one with a gene, and it's not my heir.

_But_, my heir is at least not a Mirror, and decent colors (his tert is white) which make him the handsomest of the lot imo, so that's a step in the right direction. I'm pretty sure I'd get more from exalting his brothers than selling them on the Auction House, so as soon as they grow up I'll level them and off they'll go to serve the Gladekeeper.

I'll keep Adam as a gene project. Lookit how neat he looks as a Skydancer!



But I think I'll sell Eve instead of trying to gene her up, too.
janetlin: (Laugh)
Just got this email:

I would like to invite all of you up to my house for Christmas this year. In an effort to accomodate differing work schedules, or other commitments, I hope that those who can make it for Christmas Eve (an ancient Tofelt tradition going back to Grandpa Tofelt The Elder, inventor of the Christmas tree and Leif Ericson's navigator) can be here in time for dinner around 6:00 pm. Among other delicasies Granny Style Mac 'n Cheese will be served (blatant bribery attempt). Gifts to/from those present will be opened after dessert, then all who wish to can spend the night in varying levels of luxury accomodations. Please bring stockings (no pantyhose, yuck) - to be hung by the chimney with care, of course - and we will see what Santa brings over night. All (overnighters and stayathomers, and even returneers, if you really enjoy the drive) are invited for Christmas morning. Brunchish breakfast will be 10ishish - come earlier if you want to harass er, help the cook staff. Again, gifts to/from those present will be exchanged.

Please note that insurance regulations do not allow the participation of anyone suffering from grumpiness or stress - attitude checks will be conducted randomly throughout the celebration and adjustments will be available / administered / force-fed to those in need. If you fear that you may be on Santa's poop list, please contact him at
www.santa/customerservice/rehabilitation.org and square it away before you arrive - wait times may be long, so git it on.

Looking forward to seeing you - please let our reservation desk know when we may expect you. *

Y'all are gonna get sick of this. I know and I'm sorry. But

I decided to try to make lemonade out of the lemon (aka that fugly Mirror I hatched), so have started on justjasper's legacy challenge (or on Tumblr here) with him.

So, I named him Adam, and bought him a girlfriend, Eve.



Adam and Eve colors range


Their babies should be... interesting.

gen 1 a gen 1 b
gen 1 c gen 1 d

But at least it's 50/50 they won't be Mirrors, which I consider a win. I was tempted to give him a Pearlcatcher or a Ridgeback, but the odds would be in favor of Mirror babies there, so no thanks.
janetlin: (Vala: oops)
Sooo I made what are probably a couple of newb mistakes today.

I wasn't happy with the progeny previews when I paired one of my hatchlings (Maize/Shadow/Lemon) with _any_ of the males in my lair, so I Scatterscrolled her.



Oops.

And then I was exalt leveling her in the Kelp Beds and an Unhatched Water Egg dropped.

O_O!!!!!!

Because I'm a doofus with no impulse control, I hatched it.



Boy do I hate Mirrors. Even their babies aren't cute.
janetlin: (TARDIS)
Hm, missed a few of these, too. Still not fully back into the swing of watching it every week. Twelve hasn't driven me away again but he also hasn't really drawn me back yet, so I'm not, like, chomping at the bit for new episodes.

Read more... )
Well, I liked that better than Midnight, which it kind of felt like. Twelve is... pretty harsh, though. I keep wanting him to be a teddy bear underneath the growlyface and it takes more chipping away to get there than it did even with Nine. I appreciate the difference, though, because my biggest gripe about Eleven was that he wasn't different _enough_ from Ten.
janetlin: (Liam)


All the rest of you can just go home.
janetlin: (Boy crazy)
Wow, first dream I can remember in a long time, and it was about Jamie Dornan. Ahhh, thank you, brain. :D

We were both teachers - well, tutors, I suppose - in the after-school program where I used to work, and one day as we were saying our goodbyes, he said it was actually his last day, that he was going back home. :(( So I hugged him. And then he took me to an Irish pub (everything else about the part of town we were in felt Hispanic) and I had _just_ ordered myself a dirty martini when my alarm went off.

Stupid phone.
