• Bullets (obviously the formatting kind rather than the ammunition kind) are incredibly practical.
  
  
• My con ticket arrived! I was worried Creation would screw it up and send the ticket to Florida but it arrived in my Michigan mailbox today and I'm an BESIDE MYSELF WITH EXCITEMENT! THIRD ROW OMG!!
  
  
• stewart_daily posted video of Patrick Stewart conducting "Hail To The Victors" at Saturday's Michigan game. You can't actually tell it's him from the video but it's still pretty damn cool. If you click on the link, check out the third linked video, too. It's a Picard/Crusher song vid, "Things I'll Never Say." Picard/Crusher was my first true OTP. (And my introduction to fanfic.)
  
  
• sheafrotherdon wrote Skies to Conquer, Gave Us Wings - another "A Farm In Iowa" story. I'm a sucker for McKay/Sheppard AU's like no other pairing that came before and perhaps no other pairing to come after and I have a particularly soft spot for this little universe. If you haven't read any of the series, start with A Farm In Iowa (linked above) and work through the rest tagged here. It's sappy in some spots but it's warm blanket, hot chocolate kind of sap.
  
  
• I have blinds! Aside from the obvious benefit of no longer living in a fish bowl, it also means I can settle Sally when the cat at our door jumps up on our window ledge. The only thing that makes Sally hiss is that damned stray cat. It's very unsettling for us both.
  
  
• I had an interview that went well today (with the very notable exception of his GUM CHEWING) and I left at 2pm for a doctor appointment and then to meet the blind installation guy. Now I'm off to a vendor dinner. Mexican! And, as a bonus, I expect to be home in time for Heroes.
