| Masterpiece photoshoot, part 2 |
[Nov. 25th, 2009|06:05 pm] |
My housemates and I host a masquerade every year and I took advantage of all the snazzily dressed people to do some more photos in the "Masterpiece" series. We didn't get fancy with costumes and props like last time, but there's something to be said for just going with things as-is (and it certainly didn't hurt that everyone was dolled up in fancy clothes to start with!).
On to the gallery!

The spouse and I are almost done getting ready (& packing all my extra meds) for the long drive North to our Thanksgiving gathering. Gluten-free noms here we come! ;)
We'll only have intermittent net access for a week, so a Happy (early) Turkey day to all! *sends warm wishes and blessings to my flist* |

Get Your Sexy Name
Goodness.
Only just wading through my overflowing friends page. So thank you's to: ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) iibnf, mabiana, ariadneelda, venturous, maddiec24, dacro, r_grayjoy, quiescent
for the well-wishes!
If I missed you, I probably haven't seen your post yet. I might not until much later, either, as I must get ready for a very rare night out with my beautiful spouse, who is going to take me somewhere (I don't know where) for my birthday. :D
*looking forward to it!* |

Still hanging in there. I appreciate all the well-wishes you've sent, {{{flist}}}. My cough has improved a great deal and I've been sleeping better. Now it's a matter of regaining strength. I had a slight setback dealing with strep, but that seems to be on it's way out now.
I'm very tired much of the time, even when I sleep eight or more hours (typical for CFS), and am reliably informed that basically I used up all my reserves fighting this stupid bug and need to recoup. In other words, it'll just take time and lots of rest and eating right and the usual things they tell one to do to gain optimum health.
( more boring tmi health details )
I'm way behind on reading my friends page. I might have caught up a bit sooner, but once I was able to sit up for longer than a few minutes at a time, I had to focus on finishing my writing for the holiday exchanges I'm doing. I still have two more to complete before I can indulge in more than an occasional tweet, much less journaling. Plus there is ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif) snapelyholidays, of which I can say I am more than delighted with the entries so far. :) I hope the readers will be, too.
There was one rather stressful-but-in-that-good-way thing I had to do whilst I was recouping ( aka- my exciting news )
The other thing I have been able to do whilst resting is reading some of the fics I had stored on my Palm for just such instances as this. (I have a habit of taking long &/or highly-rec'd fics and saving them for reading at times when I'm ill, like recently. Fanfic is a great distraction, believe me.)
So a few recs and then it's back to the writing grind.
gen: Crucio by ObsidianEmbrace
Fascinating and well-done AU tale highlighting the relationship between Harry, Sirius and Snape. Mind the warnings.
sshp: Sunrises by Julia the Younger
This one holds up very well, despite a few variations from canon that make it AU, but parts are very spot on, and I could see this Harry and Snape.
sshp: The Bondage Of The Mind by hobbitdragon
Holy smoking batsex, Robin! This fic blew my mind. It's post-DH w/a Harry suffering post-traumatic stress and a Snape we never discovered, but some might have guessed at... I'll say no more. But even if serious bdsm is not your thing, give it a try. If you like reading different permutations of our beloved characters, this fic might just blow your mind, too.
ssmm: Learned Too Well by Oh-Johanna
Ignore the SP&G if you can -- the story itself is gripping and ripping and... you may need some hankies. Oh, but the angst is superb.
ssmm: Levels of Comfort by Spyke Raven
Whew! I like good Snagonagall and this is excellent, packing a punch in not many words. I'm keeping an eye on this writer to see if there is more HP from zir.
sspw: The Librarian Of Strahov by sarka
Yummy. Read. |
