wiseheartElvenhome update:
Chapter 18 - The Secret of the Queen has been posted to FF.Net and Stories of Arda... from the school this morning, because the Internet died on me yesterday.
Internet recovery:
Fortunately, service guy was here just ten minutes ago and healed it. Phew! I'm soooo relieved! It shows clearly what a horrible addict I've become! At least the two days offline hindered me to post a very whiny entry I was actually planning to post - so everything has its two sides, right?
More Silmfics:
To my own very gret surprise, I found myself writing a Maedhros-centered one-shot. It's practically done, save for the last couple of paragraphs. Those who know me from the Silmfics list, few as they are in these days, would remember how utterly I despise Fëanor's get - I'd never have thought that I'd ever write anything even remotely sympathetic about either of them... and here I am, doing exactly that. Granted, it's a side product to "Elvenhome", but still... "Maitimo's Awakening" will be posted during this weekend, or so I hope.
Telly news:
The other team of service guys was here and fixed my satellite dish. Now I can watch all the usual channels, unless the current stormy wind breaks the dratted thing again. The tone is a bit low, granted, but that's not so bad. In case anything proves worth recording, I can always turn on the voice level when rewatching it.
Dead Christmas tree:
It decided to go on strike and keeled over five times in a single day. So with sorrowed hearts (it was sooo pretty!) we took it down today. This never happened before; usually we keep the tree well into February, but this one just didn't want to... :(
Other than that, school has restarted and I'm suitably dead. But that's the way things are: if you have a job, it kills you, if you don't, that kills you even more. Having a job at least gets the bills paid.

Date: 2012-01-17 09:28 pm (UTC)Das wirklich Lustige ist übrigens daß ich heute bei Kabel 1 "Den Tortenretter" gesehen habe, wo ein Konditor präsentiert hat, wie man richtig Kirschtorte macht.
Und am Abend habe ich "Die Torten-Tuner" gesehen, na, Du weiß schon, die zwei Kerle die den weltallergrößten Käsekuchen produziert haben. Mit einem Durchmesser von 3 metern. Will mal vielleicht das Rezept runterladen, für die Normalversion. Ich liebe Käsekuchen.

Date: 2012-01-17 01:50 am (UTC)Alas, poor tree! (We had no tree, but I am very liberal in leaving decorations up around the flat. Usually, it helps brighten up the winter. This year, it reminds me we are in winter, despite having almost no snow. Very odd winter...)
Hurrah for having a job - and WAH for being dead already.
Best to you and Mum for the New Year!
