Birthday!

I missed lordshiva's birthday yesterday, so a very happy belated birthday to lordshiva!

Damn, that "big" tag is cool. Someday I'll figure out the one that does a streamer.

Gorillas are People Too

If I've been quiet more than usual here on my own list, not so much with the running off at the mouth, I'd put it down to busyness first, semi-struck-dumb-by-current-events tongue-tiedness second (holy JESUS, did The Daily Show ever pounce on the Karl Rove fiasco like a shark smelling blood in the water, and huzZAH! that they did!), and something of a semi-productive writing jag bringing up the rear. (Heh... I said "rear." Har. Seriously, though, I'm finally making progress again on DIHTMS. Again, huzZAH.) When I'm actually getting things done, I guess, I sink into silent running.

So if I haven't been commenting on stories like I should - and I haven't, which sucks of me - by way of recs, I'd instead like to encourage everyone to please scoot over to read bogwitch's new chapter of "Working My Way Back to You," a post-NFA Spuffy (sort of, but with a great mystery plot) and db2305's "He Ate a Decorator Once," AU hotter-than-hot Spaith (ooh, New Orleans!), and those are just the two off the top of my head - there are obviously more.

Next, a great big thank you to whoever nominated Dirty Back Road at the Raison D'Etre Awards, for Best Long, Angst and Romance categories. Such a sweetie, you are.



I'll throw on one more thing, and then back to the writing. Yesterday we went to the zoo. ( Zoo recap and picture under the cut )
