Gardening I did today. The woodlice and ants of our garden know me now as 'The Oncoming Storm' :) After years of giving dad evil eyes whenever he asked, I volunteered for a few hours. I was quite bored. I got quite dirty. But it was satisfying. Hurrah.
jekesta has made
her site infinitely more beautiful by adding links to pages that tell you how to make your own lovely website, in English rather than some form of binary code. The part about most 'How to Make a Website' being horrendously hard to navigate is so true I cry. I have a tripod account now. Time will tell if I use it.
I want an icon of John McClane saying 'I'm in your base, killing your doods!'. More than words can say (A quick review of my poll results shows that only Jekesta learned the lesson of this. The rest of you perhaps should buy lion-repellent or something)
This scares me.
I approve of
this.
That said, three good things of today are:
- Cadbury's trifle desserts (mmm)
- The Sugar Mile by Glyn Maxwell (What's so important in the world that you can't/stop the ride a moment,/open a little black/empty book/and remind the world you're blue? There's not a thing./Burning building? Nothing.)
- The Dr Who Minor Character's Ficathon. I am tempted by potential Mickey!fic. And I have a semi-bunny to write something about the Editor when he was young, 'working his way up the ranks'. But I'm not so good at writing fic for myself, let alone someone else. I don't know. Hmm.
I am worrying now because my sister has told me that drinking a can of coke a day increases your risk of developing diabetes by 65%. Even though I used to drink it practically 24/7 when I was a child. I wouldn't mind so much except that she tells me these things, and then looks all suprised and laughs at me when I actually take them on board in any way and change what I do. Annoying. Hm.
