just a normal day, but sweet
Jan. 14th, 2012 11:30 amI got up this morning to drive Mike into work so I can use his car (mine's broke.) I don't know if I've ever mentioned Tom, but he's a disabled fellow I lend a hand to every once in a while, and he called yesterday to ask if I could take him grocery shopping.
I drove Mike into work at 04:30 and I was supposed to pick Tom up at 10am, but Kayla had another gallbladder attack and went into the ER at 6am, and I spent the morning with Torrin and teh internets. (Kayla has an appointment with the surgeon early next week.)
Which, speaking of surgeons, Mike is giving his kidney to David on February 8, in Ann Arbor.
Kayla and Sam got home at 11am, and I threw together the brownies (recipe) for my trifle. So that should be done soon, and then I'll go pick up Tom.
Luke was invited to a play-thing (oi, parent of the year; he went somewhere with Larissa and will be back before supper)(I have Larissa's dad's cell number) and Luke's friend Aaron from down the block is playing video games in Luke's room. Aaron is 8yrs old, and is a bit of a lost boy.
I was going to have Cottage Inn Pizza for my dinner tonight, but now I'm not sure, with Kayla's gallbladder attack and all. Hmm. Maybe I'll have baked sweet and sour chicken, instead. It's pretty low fat and mellow. Here's my recipe:
( Easy Sweet and Sour Chicken Bake )
Ok -- brownies are done. I need to leave to pick Mike up in 30 min -- best call Tom and ask if he wants to go shopping after lunch. Life is so lazy when I don't have to be at work.

Attention Doctor Who Ficcers!
Jan. 14th, 2012 05:41 pmOkay, here's the deal:
I'm looking for people who are interested in being part of a group project. I've mentioned this before, but I really want to get serious with it. At the same time, I want to give it time to come together; I'm not interested in a rush job.
We're going to write an EPIC DOCTOR WHO FIC. I'm looking for ten to twenty writers who can commit to one 4000-6000 chapter.
The fic will be based on A Partial Map of Your TARDIS (Subject to Change), created by alibi_factory.
This fic will be a romp through the TARDIS. Up for grabs is not only the map, but anyone who ever was/is/will walk through the doors of the TARDIS. Any Doctor, any companion, any visiting villain. Cannon will include not only the series, but the 8th Doctor movie, the Big Finish audios and the books.
Okay -- now here's where it gets really fun:
I want to present this as a hyper-linked work. You can link your work to music or other sound clips, to art, to other stories -- whatever works. Be experimental and fun with it.
Then we're gonna give it it's own LJ/DW page.
So who's with me? Come on! Dooooo iiiiiit! When we have a core group, we'll brainstorm on the over-arching story line, sketch out what we need to accomplish for our chapters and then start putting it all together.
Finally -- PIMP THIS OUT TO EVERY FICCER YOU KNOW. Please! Help me get the word out.
