I got back from Turkey just over a week ago, and naturally my first week back at work was an exceptionally busy one! So I dragged my jet-lagged butt into the office each day and somehow got everything done, but I sure didn't have any energy left over for writing. However, that has now changed and I'm sitting at my computer with a fan blowing on me, a plate of mushroom/bacon/spinach pizza in front of me, a glass of red wine at my right hand, Dee and Ryo on my mind, and most importantly for concentration purposes, a husband who is at work and is therefore NOT wandering around singing! I have been plugging away at Chapter 38 of A New Day. As soon as that's done and off to the betas, I'm going to work on my little summertime Dee/Ryo PWP
It's a beautiful, although rather warm, day, and my father and I already did a nice big bike ride together. It was 20 or 21 kilometres, maybe more, since we rode 10 out and 10 back on the trail, plus the distance we had to ride to get to and from the trail. (I only got ONE bug in my mouth, which I spat out instantly while trying not to think about what had just happened.) Therefore I totally deserve this pizza. I'm going to Try Really Hard not to eat lots of chocolate after I finish the pizza.
I was telling my father today that there are three things I really ought not to have in the house. Those things are 1. chocolate 2. white bread and 3. cheese. If those three key foods were not to be found in my house, there would be a whole lot less pigging out around here! But what the hell. As my husband (the athlete) says, "Life is short and then you die. Let's die with cheese." Or cake, or pizza, or whatever you happen to be indulging in.
One more thing, and I'll let you go. I finally watched Season One of Doctor Who! It was a marathon session over last weekend. Now I want more! And specifically more Captain Jack! Can anyone tell me if he appears in Season Two at all? What should I be downloading next? Season Two of DW, or Season One of Torchwood?
More of Jack
Re: More of Jack
Sadly, I can't download this stuff by myself. I have a good pal who's teaching me, but she just got a new job and is always working nowadays, so I don't know when I'll next be able to lure her over to my place. Maybe next weekend! Good thing I'm the patient type.
Torchwood Season 1
Doctor Who Season 1
Doctor Who Season 2
Doctor Who Season 3
Torchwood Season 2
Doctor Who Season 4
I got into Torchwood when there wasn't a second season out already so I watched all of Doctor Who while waiting.
And yes, like previously mentioned, I highly suggest watching the first season of Torchwood before the Doctor Who season 3 episodes with Jack.
If you like, I can upload the needed eps on Mediafire or Rapidshare, or something like that, rather than wait for your friend. Email me, if you want to take up my offer.
Um yeah... I caught the Torchwood bug too. And anxiously awaiting Comic-Con in less than two weeks - and to meet John Barrowman! And Gareth David-Lloyd!

You're going to meet John Barrowman?? *feels vicariously thrilled!* I hope he'll be in one of his fan-kissing moods on that day. And even if he doesn't kiss the fans, maybe he'll kiss GDL FOR the fans!
Actually I already warned
DW isn't for everyone, I suppose. Here's hoping that you'll be able to get a restroom break at some point without losing your spot!

You can watch DW Series 2 and TW Series 1 at the same time, as they're independent of each other. Just don't watch the DW Series 3 eps with Jack until you've watched TW 1.
*waits patiently by her inbox*
I'm picturing you waiting patiently by your inbox like a cat waiting by a mousehole! (Though in this case, the cat is not actually going to kill the mouse, because the cat, though forthright, is very kind) Don't wait tonight because I kind of lost momentum after the rather large amount of pizza I consumed. Then I started researching funerals, which brought back memories and made it even harder to focus. I'm back on track now, but it's almost 3AM so I'm about to run out of time. My husband is due home any minute. But, hey, there's always tomorrow, right?
And I think I will adopt the watching of DW season 2 and TW season one at the same time as my Plan of Action. I wonder if my computer can hold two seasons of two different shows in its itty bitty little memory? I'm sad to think that Rose only has one more season! That's really too bad. Especially with all that unresolved romantic tension between her and the Doctor.
Still miserable. Kill me now pls!
No worries - when it gets done, it gets done. I know all about avoiding annoying husbands (even when they do look like John Barrowman)! *hopes the pizza was good*
I am sitting on my hands doing my best not to spoil you about what happens with Rose. Hurry up and catch up with DW Series 4!
Annoying, snoopy husbands. Unfortunately, mine knows all my tricks for distracting/getting him the hell away from my computer. I need to develop a few new ones.
If that hubby of yours looks like John Barrowman, you'd better not take him near any Comic-con conventions in the next little while. It might be hard to explain to your daughters that those legs sticking out from under a writhing pile of fangirls (and boys!)actually belong to Daddy.
Half of me wants to be spoiled re Rose and the other half doesn't...I'll do my best to catch up!
We did get some strange looks while wandering around London and I imagine that's why. I look nothing like the actor who plays Ianto Jones. *grins*
Hope you had a great trip. I'm back to work too, and even back to the gym. All is well and my back is greatly improved. Glad things have quieted down for you so you can fill our heads with more fantastic writing from the land of Dee and Ryo.
As for downloads...I keep nagging you about Queer as Folk. Like me , when and if you finally see it, you'll wonder why you waited so long. There's lots of hot men and sex, but as they say, you'll come for the Queer and stay for the Folk. It really is a good show with great stories, too.I'm hooked, and I'm not a TV person either.
Check out some clips on YouTube, that's the easiest way to see if you'd like it. I may have to do the same for Torchwood, because everyone seems to be talking about that too.
Have a good one!
Moontatoo
I promise you that I WILL get to Queer as Folk - it sounds like my cup of tea, anyway. But I don't dare go near YouTube until I've finished my chapter. YouTube has been known to eat up 7 to 9 hours of my life in a single sitting! (with pee breaks, of course)
I predict I'll be hooked on QaF by mid-fall. And maybe by then, I'll be able to do bit torrent downloads by myself!
Yes thanks, Turkey was beyond awesome. It was very beautiful on the Mediterranean.
The next time I have pizza, I will try the bacon, mushroom and spinach because it sounds delicious and on the healthy side, too. I also agree with your hubby, because you never have that second chance to make every day important.
*hugs you*
My lovely pizza was actually a thin crust frozen mushroom pizza (a Safeway Select, black box, excellent product) to which I added spinach, bacon, and more cheese, naturally! And rosemary. I love rosemary. The bacon probably took the health quotient down a bit, but as I've often said, bacon is the thing that stands between me and vegetarianism. I would have become one years ago, were it not for bacon. Anyhow, it was a very delicious pizza! You should definitely try it. *Hugs you back*
welcome back
Don't worry about us, take ur time in getting the chapter out, you need time to urself take it from me. I been on a fanfiction sabbatical for about 3 or 4 years and I'm still taking my time (ok yeah, its been writers block, a kid, and one jacked up relationship, but you get the idea).
Still looking forward to the chapter whenever u can!
Re: welcome back
My chapter is actually written, but because I'm so close to the end of the story, I have to be really careful with pacing and tying up loose thread details. I have to decide what to wrap up in this story and what to leave for the sequel. I think I need to rough out the next chapter too, before I sign off on the current one.
At the same time, I really want to get the whole story done and off my plate! Then I can start working on the sequel at my leisure.
Thanks for your support. I really appreciate it.
An Update Soon...Maybe??
