First off, Happy White Rabbit's Day everyone!

Today was rather calm. Saturdays and Thursdays tend to be my rest days. I had work-study this morning down at the library, and there were donuts. This was definitely a good thing in my book. Saturday mornings in the library tend to be rather quiet, as none of the other students are actually awake and functioning.

I've written my first rec for stargateficrec, I'm doing McKay/Weir this month. This means that I get to look up all of my old favorites, and decide which ones to rec first.

And the other thing I did today was laundry. This ended up being a big production. Our school switched to a laundry card system, but the machines still accept quarters, and I prefer to use the change, as I don't want to spend two dollars on a card, and then have any money I put onto it be unuseable for anything else. However, the school, in its infinite wisdom, removed the change machines from the dorm. Therefore, I have to go to the bank to get a roll of quarters to use. No problem, except for the fact that the bank isn't open on weekends, and I know this. This afternoon, I had money for the driers, which are cheaper, but not for the washer and drier. So I ended up washing everything by hand in one of the laundry room sinks. Lovely. I can do it, but it's not exactly my idea of a perfect way to spend an hour. After I handwashed everything, I loaded the clothes into the drier and thought that that would be it. Not exactly. The drier didn't dry my clothes the first time. Or the second time for that matter. I ended up running a drier three times to get my clothes dry. I am so bringing my clothes home with me next week to wash.

Speaking of next week, I'm bringing home less people than I thought. As of now, two people who were planning on coming home with me have had to cancel. Since they were our drivers, Lierin is contacting some of the others to see if they can give us transport. One of the guys said he could drive, so we'll talk to him. We'll have to see how many actually end up coming.

As for my sorting, it's winding down, but I'm getting lovely comments. The revised totals as of right now stand as:
Hufflepuff: 71
Gryffindor: 32
Ravenclaw: 14
Squib: 7

Squee!

next weekend

I can still give you guys a ride if you need one - but you'll have to stay until Tuesday. Lieren might like that, if we go to the AF museum and/or Sunwatch.

I mentioned that to Lierin. She's going to check out what's going on, see if we do have transport. If we can't get our transport, we'll ask you, and I can ask them to chip in a bit for gas money.

First off, Happy White Rabbit's Day everyone!

Wow, is it that time already? I think that's one of the first things you said to me, one year ago! Time flies, eh?

Boo for non-drying dryers and yay for your sorting!

Nice rec, too. I think that's one of the few of hers I haven't read. I shall now.

I'm trying to decide if I should use yours. On the one hand, it is one of the better McKay/Weir stories on the net, but I'm not sure if that would qualify as conflict of interest, since I was involved in the writing process.

*ponders*

And yes, it was the first of the month, and therefore it is White Rabbit's Day. I just normally forget to do them. Remind me to do so Novemeber first.

Well, I'm flattered you're considering it! Although I can see the conflict of interest. Hmm.

it was the first of the month, and therefore it is White Rabbit's Day.

Oh, is it? Huh, didn't know that. Cool!

At least in my family it is. Of course, I don't think anyone outside of our immediate circle of friends knows anything about it, but that's their problem.

I think I'm going to rec it anyway, but as an extra, outside of the four I'm required to rec.

Ha, too right. Reminds me of that T-shirt: "I live in my own universe. They like me there."

Oh, yay! Thank you!

Speaking of fic, I sent the ficathon piece to you today. It needs serious help.

[mari4212.livejournal.com]

Got it and sent it back. I don't think it's as bad as all that. But we can bounce it around until it works the way you want it to.

Oh! Well, that's good. Can't wait to see your edits.

I haven't gotten it yet, which is weird, but sometimes Yahoo takes a little while to process things.

If it doesn't arive by morning, tell me and I'll ship it off again. I think my school's tech department might be doing something funky, and that might be affecting my e-mails.

[ljmckay.livejournal.com]

I got it, made the changes, and sent it back. Thanks!

[mari4212.livejournal.com]

Got it. Does it feel better this time? And is there anything specific you want me to look for?

[ljmckay.livejournal.com]

It does feel better. I can't think of anything specific, save voice.
