seren_ccd: (Halloween!)
Things on a Monday!

+ I got my job offer in writing today, woo! SUCH a relief.

+ I got some lovely gift vouchers for my b-day to a nice shop in town, so today I got a really cozy dark red jumper with little buttons on it. I'm trying to expand my color palette and this seemed like a good color to try. SO comfy!

+ Writing continues, but I have a question for everyone! Seeing as this is October and I'm writing what is, in essence, a ghost story, I'm curious - what scares you? What are some 'tropes' that actually get your pulse running? Everyday things that give you a little bit of a fright?

For me, it's definitely having to walk out of a dark room at night. Ugh, gives me the creeps. Or passing by a staircase where I can't quite see the bottom step? *shivers*

So what unsettles you?

Happy Monday!

Things!

1. Well, my interview went pretty well on Friday. I think I'd quite enjoy the job. They emailed to tell me that they've narrowed it down to two people and I'm one of them! So, they're contacting my references, which is cool! Unfortunately, the fellow making the decision is on leave this week, so I probably won't know anything until next Monday. Argh.

2. My word count continues to be pretty good! I wrote a really fun scene today involving a hairdresser named Doreen, she was great fun to write.

3. I got up this morning at 3am to see the lunar eclipse. It was really something! Not super red, but a bit rust-colored. I forgot that you can really see the stars out here. There's so little light pollution, it's amazing.

4. I did my Yuletide nominations: The Watcher in the Woods (Jan, Ellie, Karen and Mike), RED (Sarah, Victoria, Michelle Cooper, Frank) and Ghostbusters (Janine, Dana, Egon and Winston).

5. I don't really have a 5! I hope everyone has an okay Monday! ♥

*Because Spaceballs' quotes are always needed on a Monday.

Honestly. I've been doing basic website admin for years now, at this job and at my previous one. I had the following conversation with my boss earlier today:

Boss: I just want the links to the external websites to be the heading of the article.
Me: Okay.
Boss: You know how if a sentence is a link, it changes colour?
Me: Um, ye-ah?
Boss: Do you know how to do that?
Me: Do I know how to make a link? Yes. Yes, I do know how to do that.

I was aware of this before, but it's always interesting to see how much my boss has no clue how things work. Like, none at all. But, she's really, really good at bs-ing her way through it, I often think she gets it.

She really, really doesn't.

Anyway.

How much do I love my flist? Honestly! You guys are awesome. Thanks so much for the comments and ideas yesterday about the TARDIS. I know where I'm going now, thank you!!

I also mainlined Lewis yesterday, thanks to ITV, which I hadn't seen before. Hello, James Hathaway. I really, really like you and your tallness and dreamy, dreamy voice. Goodness.

I'm now seeing Lawrence Fox playing either Albert Campion or Lord Peter Wimsey when he gets a little older.

Dear lord was it fun to get to work today. Ice all over the place and no grit. I slipped way too many times. Once I did a lovely arabesque-like move and was just happy I didn't take a header into the pavement. Grrr.

In other news, I've written 942 words of a very rough beginning for Yuletide, so I'm happy to be making progress.

In other, other news, in my lead up to actually writing an X-Files story, I am doing two things, watching season three in the evenings when I get home and reading fic. Which leads me to a fic rec!

If you like Stephen King's The Stand and you like Mulder/Scully AND you like long fics: Read this!

Last One Standing. It reads like a Stephen King novel and does use characters from The Stand. Mulder and Scully are awesome and make me smile. It's definitely gory and there are some violent scenes (Stephen King, remember?), but it's epic and very engrossing. If you want to be spoiled about who makes it and who doesn't, let me know.

Happy Monday!

Are you tired of this yet? 'Cause I've got more castings for the Teeth, Claws and Guinness world.

The village of Cwm Alaw is based on the real town of Llanberis in the Snowdonia mountains in North Wales. I visited it last year around this same time of year. It is at the base of Mt. Snowdon, the highest mountain in Wales. It's a beautiful town and is THE place to go for hiking and climbing. I highly recommend visiting if you can. The scenery will take your breath away. It's also a short bus ride from the sea.

See more about the town here and here.

And here are some pictures: Llanberis aka Cwm Alaw )

And I'm adding to the Cast List!

Seriously, someone needs to take the internet away from me. I honestly can't stop with this thing.

Oh, my good God, could today be any more boring? I want to go hoooommmme. And cook dinner. Seriously. That is all I want to do. I want to go and cook a nice spaghetti sauce. With red onions.

But, anyway, look at this picture I found! I seriously think these two were my first 'bad' boy/'good' girl ship. It's because of Molly Ringwald that I have always wanted red hair.



rain keeps falling, rain keeps falling, down, down, down.
