Ah, the joys of summer... sorta

Well, Comic Con in San Diego has come and gone and I have got to get out there one of these years, preferably when I have enough cash to buy all the junk I want! Godzillas! Daleks! Dead kitty dolls! ;) By the time I get out there I'm willing to bet there will be no Stargate franchise left!

Meanwhile, did not get a garden in. The bags of dirt for the garden are lying in the garden, doing a practical thing: killing the crabgrass :)  But, the wild raspberry bushes just went gonzo this year. I've spent a few days picking berries and there are still a TON left. It's sorta disturbing that the bushes really aren't being decimated by the wildlife, cuz last year the birds competed with me for berries. This year, I don't know where the birds are, which isn't good. Probably bumped off by all the pesticides and crap people dump in their yards. Anyway, I'll be eating berries the rest of the week for at least 1-2 meals a day cuz I can't let them go to waste. Too good! As long as I make sure I don't eat any of the teensy spiders and green hoppy things that like to lurk on the berries...

Meanwhile, read a really great Stargate Atlantis whump story - Foreign Concepts - at http://x-erikah-x.livejournal.com/148955.html. It's multiple parts so just keep reading :) Definitely recommend it!

I'm sorta going back and forth between Stargate Atlantis and my rediscovery of Kung Fu: The Legend Continues fanfiction (zines) which had a ton of whumpy angsty stories. ANd I keep thinking, gotta finish writing all those SGA whump fic stories I started. Just need to get back into the writing mood.

TV is pretty eh these days. EUREKA is fun, Warehouse 13 is meh, okay, but I'm mostly waiting for Joe Flanigan's guest appearance.

Went to a local library book sale with the idea of buying maybe one or two books and came out with six (they were $1 each) plus two CDs. One by Christopher Franke (who did the soundtrack for the 90s CBS TV series RAVEN, and oh, used to be with Tangerine Dream!) and the other a Tibetan bell meditation CD I have yet to try out, but for a couple bucks....

Weather is dreadful. Hot. Humid. Hazy. It tends to rain or drizzle every single day so the house painting project is in definite arrears. Can't paint till I get a nice dry day for at least 24 hours, and that hasn't been happening. but I guess the weather has been good for the berries... ;)

Christopher Franke I believe actually did all the soundtracks for Babylon 5. I'm below your state across the pond, so I know what you mean about the weather! It sucks, wish it would just cool off!

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Gah, the weather is even worse today. I just want one huge storm to blow through and get rid of this humidity, preferably without tree or power loss. Oh yeah, checked Franke's site and he's done a lot of TV stuff!

Hopefully, it may get cooler for the nights, but lets face it, we are coming into August and it's going to get hotter and stay that way. Blaaaa!!

If you're looking for more Kung Fu The Legend Continues stories...Have you ever heard of FuRenagades (yes, with A)? It's a Yahoo Group for KFTLC-fanfiction. I saw you mentioning KFTLC again and thought maybe you'd like to take a look.

Thanks for recommending the SGA story. I'm reading it right now.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, another group to join. I need more time! ;)

[immertreu.livejournal.com]

LOL It was just a thought because zines are so expensive. And I know the time problem only too well... ;)

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Heck, yeah, zines are very pricey nowadays! but I just need more free time.

Thanks for the fic rec just printed it out for a bit of bed time reading :)

THere is not much worth watching on tv here, I have resorted to watching my dvd collection, I crave something new and exciting....hopefully with Joe Flanigan in it.

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

well, one more week and his WAREHOUSE 13 airs! :)

Ah, Raven. There's another show I wish would come out on DVD, along with KF:TLC, Adderly, Wizards and Warriors, QED...

[wraithfodder.livejournal.com]

Oh yes... have Raven on VHS, and Adderly(sigh sigh), and KF:TLC. Come on, folks, put them out before your audience dies of old age... ;)
