The week after I get to meet
And that's not even thinking about the fact that Joe Flanigan, Ben Browder, Joss Whedon, RDA, John Barrowman and the Mythbusters will all be at ComicCon. I might just die of squee.
Also, I get to see my cat at my folks house as she's been over there since last weekend as I've been in Sweden for most of this week. It's weird being in the house without her. I miss the little madam.

I just can't seem to get my arse in gear to do anything. I have become even more apathetic than usual, or I'm really busy in RL. I can't decide. I can tell you I've been working on this for a couple of months in secrecy, even from most of my work colleagues, so it's been a bit hectic. Dad says I've got Base Camp Lethargy, which is a fictitious disease from the Goon Show (British comedy show from the 50s). But it sounds like how I feel.
I've hardly commented on anyone's fics or posts for about a month, apologies to you all for that, and I've certainly not written anything I can post in about a decade. I'm utterly stalled on Nephelai and my epic piece of kink is kind of stuck too (although it plays like the best porn in my head :-)
In fairness to myself I have been working on you lovely peoples christmas present, which is coming along nicely. I know it's only June but there's no telling if something will come up later in the year in RL. And I'll need time to do some creative layouts and printing :-)

What I really posted for was not to ponder my underwear but to ask if anyone has things I must see and do. I've got a couple of guide books and I'll be doing the regular sites on the Strip in my 3 days of vacation and the evenings of the days of the convention. I'm off for a day trip to the Valley of Fire too. Any tips for what's not worth bothering with on Strip so I don't waste my precious time.
Also, any must eat restaurants or must visit shops?

I'm getting so nervous. I don't even know if I can stand to watch the match. For those not in Europe it's the Champions League final tonight and I'm totally convinced my team, Manchester United, are going to get horribly beaten by Chelsea. I'm a very pessimistic fan and yet still, I keep that little kernel of hope that we might win. That bit that makes me keeps watching and getting more and more stressed.
Gah!
To quote Bill Shankly, even if he did manage Liverpool
'Some people believe football is a matter of life and death.
I'm very disappointed with that attitude.
I can assure you it is much, much more important than that.'

Then, the next track came on. It was the theme from Flashdance (clearly my MP3 player was having an 80s moment) and my mind instantly gave me John as the welder/wannabe dancer. I think this actually works for the characters, better than Dirty Dancing any way. Rodney would be the boss of the steel mill and John as the 'exotic' dancer. Obviously in my head he'd be a whole hell of a lot more exotic than in the original movie. I've always wondered quite what the demand was for what amounts to a PG-13 dance recital amongst blue collar workers of Pittsburgh.
Anyway, if I ever finish the things I'm working on I might just write it. If anyone else wants to write it first, or make the movie poster, by all means do. I'd love to read it.
EDIT: I'm not the only one with a sick mind!

I saw this picture of the Sex and the City girls are the premiere of the movie in London (we're apparently not allowed to call it a world premiere even though it is so as not to upset New York)
and I had two thoughts. First was 'oh my god, Sarah Jessica Parker has an herbaceous border on her head!' The second was 'It'd be a bugger if you ended up sat behind her in the movie theater.'
All the others look lovely and didn't seem to need folliage.

It's got Anthony Stewart Head in it and he plays an aging safe craker who supposed to have been going straight for years but he's back in the UK from Spain and keeps getting drawn into things. Mainly because he's bored. I recommend it. It'll probably make it on to BBC Prime at some point if you're not in the UK, it's probably on BBC i-player if you're in the UK (2 episodes so far) and the first one seems to be available as a torrent.

Hope you have (or had due to the time difference) a fabulous day with everything you wish for.
'I've never met a lady who wanted to watch two men together!'
I found myself raising my hand in my living room and going, 'erm I do'.
So, here's the deal. If we hear that any of us is being suspected, or someone we love is, just for watching or reading the porn we want to, we'll leap to their defense and point out that there's loads of 'ladies' who like to watch all sorts of things that'd make Southern gentleman lawyers' toes curl.
Obviously not illegal stuff, just gay, straight or a bit kinky.

Anyway slept for a whole 3.5 hours and then got up to catch a 5am (4 am to my very tired body) to the airport for a 6.20 flight. All day meetings, small doze on the plane back and then landed in Manchester at 6.10 this evening. Totally knackered. Must sleep but I want to see the end of Criminal Minds...snores...zzzzz....zzzzzz....

Even though I hate heights, depths, being scared and all the sorts of things this should evoke, it didn't scare me, just made me feel exhilarated. Not that I'm thinking of doing it.

Summary: AU in which Rodney is still a genius and John still loves him
A silly bit of crack that's been brewing in my head for a couple of weeks now.
