*waves at Nea*

Due to the Jethro situation, I've fallen behind in a lot of things:knitting, reading, sleeping; greater love hath no fan than she sacrifice her Ritchie Reserve t-shirt for her Chow... although the t-shirt is actually intact. I sewed (by hand) extensions onto the sleeves in an attempt to protect and cover the horrible owie.

Before all this went down, I had been enjoying an interesting series by Rhys Bowen called "Her Royal Spyness", set in the 30's over in Britain --discovered it, ironically, the same week Queen Elizabeth passed away. It's entertaining, and gives an interesting look at pre- WW2 British upper class society.

Fan-fiction? who has time for fanfiction?

Best of luck to Jethro!

I’m *making* time for fanfic because there’s so much out there and I love it. Not sure if I’m going to keep cataloging it here, tho.

For a while I was reading a ton of Avengers 'Team Iron Man' fics -- ironically, back when I was actively reading Marvel Comics, I was a huge Captain America fan while Iron Man was 'meh'... then I slipped down a Harry Potter rabbit hole for a while; I still have a few AO3 authors bookmarked but have lost track of the stories I was reading and it takes too long to try to find them when Jethro is so needy.

I did see the Good Omens with David Tennant and liked it.
