I just signed the following petition addressed to: Arizona Sentate, Arizona State Legislature, Debbie Lesko.

----------------
Stop the Arizona birth control Bill

If this bill passes the senate then women of Arizona would be forced to provide documentation that birth control is for medical purposes only. The "company" would not be required to cover birth control if it was for prevention of conception. Additionally this bill would give companies the right to fire women if they discovered that she was using a contraceptive to prevent pregnancy

Iced Fingers

Here is a pic of iced fingers what I made. It took ever such a long time to make but they turned out nice.

Tell us your worst date stories. (Don’t worry, we all have them.)

My worst date was a blind date, through a blind dating phoneline thing (this was in the days before the internet). We met in Soho Square, and we didn't click, but rather than tell him, and call the date to an end, I became intentionally just obnoxious and boring enough so that he wouldn't call again, but not so bad as to be offensive. Not my finest hour.

Food: Chicken and Ham Pie

stepford-wonderful
Yet again I have made pie, and I've tried out a different recipe.

The filling looks good: thick, creamy sauce with chicken, ham and mushrooms in it. Smelt divine as it was bubbling away.

The flaky pastry was made from scratch, and involved a lot of rolling and folding and resting, and rolling and folding and resting. The recipe was very strict on how many times to roll and fold, too many or too few and it would not give good results. A bit of a faddle, and I was feeling dubious about how successful it would be...

The results were fan-bleeping-tastic, and I shall take a picture of the pie before me and N dive in and eat it.

Om nom nom!

ETA: teh pic of teh pie!

Signal Boost: Return of the DDoS

For those wanting to know more about the recent DDoS attacks, yes, it looks like it was the Russian government trying to shut down the dissidents again.

As I said last time, while it's frustrating not to have access, LJ is a lot more than a social network platform. From the article:

"LiveJournal isn’t just a social network. It’s also a platform for organizing civic action. Dozens of network projects and groups mobilize people to solve specific problems — from defending the rights of political prisoners to saving endangered historic architecture in Moscow."

So while I know many are considering the move over to Dreamwidth and other such sites, supporting LJ is a way we can help support those who use it for more than a writing/roleplaying/social venue.


Also, as a FYI, LJ is giving paid users effected by the outage two weeks of paid time as compensation.

What’s the best advice you’ve ever gotten (and want to share with other LJ users)?

Don't try so hard to make people like you.

I used to be scaryily keen on making sure everyone I met liked me, and would get upset if they didn't. Took me a while to realise that it's up to them to decide, and to accept that if they don't like me, then they don't.

PS: LJ is rubbish with this whole being offline thing. I've got fic I want to read the next chapter of, and if my authors can't post...

***CAPSLOCK FRENZY WARNING*** )

In other news, I have discovered our record collection again, and spent most of the day listening to Fleetwood Mac's Romours from '77 on long playing record. I had to use the thingie to remove the dust, and get up and turn the record over when one side was finished, and cue the needle and everything!

Fanboy Squee, kinda.

stepford-wonderful
 Regular readers may be aware that Himindoors used to be an actor, and starred in a couple of horror films in the mid eighties.

Anyway, he's doing one of those signing convention things on Sunday, and Alex Kingston is going to be there!!!! River Song!

I don't often ask him for these kind of things, but I've made a specific request to have a signed picture from Alex, with the words "Hello Sweetie!" or "Spoilers!" on it.

Hence the squeeing....

I've not posted anything proper for a while, as work has been one big long stressy thing for months. However, today I made a bid for domestic goddess-hood again, with Empire Biscuits. (As I type, there are Jam Tarts in the oven.)
