This journal is friends only. If you want to be added, comment to this post or send me a message. I write about Battlestar Galactica, my cats, my health problems, my hobbies (mainly knitting and beading) and whine about my job.

I'm very busy right now, I'm way behind on my flist, and I haven't replied to comments in a while. I hope I'll get back to LJ in a while, but for now I'm on a (brief, I hope) LJ hiatus.

I haven't had time to read this whole piece yet, but what I read (or scanned, more like it) so far was interesting. Boy, did I recognize much of it, even though I don't follow the shows the author refers to.
Canon sucks.

See you in a bit!

Happy birthday rayruz !</span>

I hope your day is great. Have fun!

First: Thanks so much for the love! I love you, my LJ-friends, so much!

So I thought I would be well enough to go to work today. Then I woke up at 5 AM this morning with a splitting headache. I took the max dose of pain killers and went back to bed, but couldn't fall asleep for more than one hour due to the ache. The pain killers took away the worst part, in that after a while my head no longer felt like it would explode if I accidantally moved it a fraction of an inch, but it still hurt quite a bit. So I decided to stay at home today as well. I still have a headache (have taken several more pain killers), but it's much better now.

daybreak777 and I were discussing pumpkin pies and such, and she asked me about seasonal foods and cakes in Sweden. She was interested in these recipes, and I thought I'd post them here in case someone else is interested as well. They both have metric measurements and degrees Celsius (my teaspoons are 5 ml). I have translated them from Swedish, so I'm not sure I'm using the proper terms for everything. Don't hesitate to ask if anything is unclear.

I hope you enjoy the recipes!

Ok, I think this entry is more than long enough.
(But if you want more to read, and by any chance haven't seen taragel 's latest work yet, I highly recommend her comment!fic from the latest rewatch. Tara, I'm continually amazed by your ability to write tension and awesomely hot scenes in new fresh ways.)

This is a drabble I wrote for twelvecolonies challenge 08. Haven't completed anything in quite a while, even this short, so this was fun.

This is just a very quick fly-by to wish Pali the bestest birthday ever! I hope your day is great, filled with squee and that someone who is better with graphics than I am gives you lots of piloty and/or SPN goodness!

(Lame, I know, but this is really all I have time for today.)

I'll be free in 3 hours! I still have plenty of things to finish before I leave for my vacation, but I have gotten so much done today. Just taking an itty-bitty break to post this.

I just listened to the Depeche Mode album Violator (one of my all-time favorites), and the song Halo. That made me think of that fanvid with Beyoncé's song Halo, which in turn made me think of the lyrics to the Depeche Mode song from a shipper perspective. I think this song would make a great Kara vid. Since I don't know anything about vidding and don't have the time or inclination to learn right now, I thought I'd post about it here and see if anyone else likes the idea. The song is kind of slow-paced, definitely not up-beat.

Ok, back to work.

Today there was an article about slash in Dagens Nyheter, the largest newspaper in Sweden. Way cool. The journalist wrote about the phenomenon as such but also focused on Star Trek, especially the new movie. She referenced several stories and a community here on LJ. What makes me most happy about this is that it's published in the literature section, not the pop culture one.

This weeks prompt at bsg_100 was changes. I tried to write a drabble, but it just refused to adhere to exactly 100 words. I have finally given up and am posting it here on my own LJ instead.
