Despite the fact that I'm surrounded by magazines all day long, they never get old. Or perhaps it's because I'm surrounded by them all day long. Anyway, here are three recent covers that made me squee. Click on the thumbnails for links to HQ images.

Off to see A History of Violence. Finally.

And I'd be remiss if I didn't congratulate the Yankees on their 8th consecutive AL East Division championship. The Torre/Jeter hug at the end of the game was a beautiful, beautiful thing.

I'm on leg three of my 7 day trip which means I'm holed up in the Newark Airport Wyndam Hotel waiting for my colleague to arrive from FL. I should be catching up on work but instead I'm reading fic and trying to watch the episodes of SGA that

rossetti was kind enough to burn for me but don't seem to want to play on my laptop.

Some recs...

HP: Still Silence and Treasure by

sioniann Harry/Snape. "The vault door clicks shut, a jagged sort of noise, and Harry knows he's no longer alone." This is the post HBP I was waiting for.

HP: Clandestine by

ldybastet and

cruisedirector. "Trying to be Tonks' man, Greyback's man, the Order's man and his own man is beginning to drive Lupin mad." Clandestine is the fourth part in this post HBP Lupin/Snape story. (The story contains links to the first three parts.)

SGA: Bruises by

coreopsis. Sheppard/McKay. Post-coreopsis.

CSI: Within Without by

eleanor_lavish. Gill/Nick. "What if Nicky's hell lasted more than a day? How long would it take Gil to get him back?" Warning: Nick/Other non-con. This story a must read for anyone with a fetish for h/c fic.

So, the rumor is that Viggo is dating Kate Bosworth's assistant. I can't even let myself believe it because what that would CLEARLY mean is that Kate is just Orlando's beard and he and Viggo finally found a way to be together.

I have an hour until my colleague arrives. Work? Fic? Sleep? I have big decisions to make, my friends.

Current Mood: lazy

I had a conference call at 10am with clients in MN, NY, and London but, at 10:39am in the middle of the call and with two colleagues in my office, I was delightfully unprofessional and watched the launch of Discovery on my trusty corporate laptop. It took real effort not to cry. If you're as geeky as topaz119 and I are, here's the link to the live NASA feed.
I don't know what's up with Orlando Bloom and Sienna Miller but he's hot. I'm such a sucker for that look.
Pollingpoint.com has a Harry Potter poll up. I took full advantage of the "other" options and the open text boxes. Does anyone know if the results are public? I'd love to see how answers varied by the demographics collected.
I scroll through LJ at work but can't read any fic that catches my eye so I e-mail the links to my hotmail account to ensure that I remember to go back and read them. I'm in trouble if my IT department ever decides to check my e-mail and click on these links I've been saving. But today's list generated two recs:

In Exchage by reddwarfer Harry/Snape ficlet. Post-HBP but no spoilers. It was tender and more than just a little heartbreaking.

Best-Laid Plans by veniceatsunset Harry/Draco. The plan was to find Snape and Malfoy, kill Snape and Malfoy, find the Horcruxes, destroy the Horcruxes, defeat Voldemort, and move to the Caribbean where no one knew him and he could lay by the ocean and be happy. Unfortunately, or fortunately, depending on the way you look at it, even the best-laid plans go wrong. MILD SPOILERS FOR HBP. I rarely read Harry/Draco but the summary sucked me in and this was well worth it. It was a beautiful combination of heartache, tenderness, and humor.
arsenicjade is curious about interest in a Harry Potter H/C minifest. You know you want to write some HP h/c fic of the Harry/Snape variety!
After talking about it for months, I found a housekeeper. She comes recommended from two people and her first day is August 5th. After that, she'll come every other Friday. I don't think I can possibly understate my joy. Joy, I tell you! Beyond a range, I don't even know the final cost but it is well, well worth it. After long work weeks, I'll no longer have to spend my weekend scrubbing and washing and dusting and scouring and I feel like a hugh weight is lifted. Plus, Stanley Steamer is coming on Saturday for some summertime carpet cleaning. I love a clean home. Especially when I don't have to do it.
