Didn't work today. We didn't get as much snow as they said we would, but it was still a pretty bad day to be driving around and schools closed at 4:30am when it didn't even start snowing until noon. Whoops! heehee But I'm going into work early tomorrow, so yick.

Fic progress today:

• I finished the WK fic I've been working on. Brad and Schu didn't slow me down as much as I thought and only added another 3 pages or so in total. So that's good.
  
• Edited the dog walking fic (which, conveniently, I have titled 'Dog Walking' for lack of a better one)
  
• Picked up a 1-page Sirius-with-a-fever story that struck me months ago and finished it up. It's just for fun and I'm really not that happy with it. So I actually used the same beginning page or so and started another ending to it. Deals with the same themes just in completely different ways. I'll probably try to finish that up tonight.
  

I was going to update my website tonight, but looks like it will have to wait until tomorrow at the earliest. I want to finish this last short HP ficlet first.
I spent most of my day reading Mired in Middle Earth which was recced to me by my best friend online. It's sort of RPS but in character context. It's the longest thing I've had time to sit down and read in a LONG while, so that was a fun use of a snow day (plus I slept late and then napped for a while, too). Yeah... the story's good... strange but good. There were elements and parts I ADORED and parts that didn't make a lot of sense to me. And there were some spelling and grammar errors that kept bugging me. But on a whole it was an interesting adventure and I'm glad I read it. I was totally jonesing for Legolas/Gimli when I'd finished it, though. And a Legolas sea longing bunny struck me while I was reading it. So that's good. But, yeah, it's one of those fics that keeps popping back into your mind after you read it. At least, it is for me. Maybe because I haven't read anything quite so strange before- you know I'm not a huge fan of RPS (I do make an exception for HobbitActorSlash and Viggorli if it's recced by a friend I trust online) and not a huge fan of AUs but strangely I did enjoy it. I need to write up a proper rec in my Rec journal.

But not tonight. Need to get to work early tomorrow and that means digging my car out from under snow and walking a snow-happy puppy dog. And tomorrow I shall try to update site with lots of new stories. Yes yes.

snow... we actually had snow too, today. it's a very rare occurrence in The Netherlands.
forecasters say we'll have ten centimeters of snow tomorrow. i don't know how many inches that is but for this country it's a LOT.
snow's cool ^^

Oohhh! Yay for strange but fun bursts of snow! :-)
Hrm... As I recall, it's 2.5 centimeters to an inch so I guess that's... 4 inches? That's a nice, respectable amount for a snowstorm indeed! Hope it turned out well and you enjoyed it!
