I can haz temp job?

are you wearing any pants? no.

I have a lot to grumble about today, but I’m going to focus on two tiny little bits of happy:

1) I have a temp job for a CPA. 2 or 3 days a week to help him get ready for tax season. Depending on how long it takes to find a job, I could theoretically work for him through tax season. Who knows. Maybe there’s 40 hours of work there?

2) “Little Favour” (Benedict Cumberbatch, short film), was released yesterday. I’ve heard that it’s available in the US iTunes store, but I haven’t had a chance to check it out yet. Tonight or tomorrow, it will be mine.

(And a bonus: PARIS and HARTFORD are still getting hits and kudos. The interest in the Cabin Pressure fic is also driving traffic to the Johnlock fic. Whoo! I guess I’m a decent writer after all. *giggles*)

Quicky update

oh, hell, i ship it, too

The problem with jumping back and forth from fandoms that center on the same actor is that you get very confused as to whether or not he’s got ginger (auburn) hair or ebony hair, whether or not he’s taller than his partner or shorter… DAMN YOU, BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH for being so chameleon like!

Had an interview yesterday that was weird. I can’t go into details, but I think - if they offer me the job - I’m not going to take it. I’d rather hold out for the chance to get a second interview with a restaurant…

I need the money, badly, but I don’t think I’d last long there.

I do have an interview today with a CPA for a temp job. The money is better than most temp jobs, and it will keep me busy through the holidays. The recruiter seems to think it’s a slam dunk.

Who knows…

Fucking BBC is airing the first episode of the third series of Sherlock on December 15th. IN A MOVIE THEATRE. Tickets go on sale November 12th, but how can I justify to the hubs that I need to take off to England for the shortest weekend trip in history?

*grumbles*

My friend, Jesse, from the Ameros (Albany band), is running for Mayor today. I wish I could vote for him. He’s a Republican, but his politics mesh so closely with my own, that I’d love to see him in office. He really has the capability to change the world if people would take a chance on him. He’s smart. Well spoken. Really, really, really has an excellent head on his shoulders. You don’t find most people his age to be that mature…

Shall I say it again? I’m so damn lucky to have my Albany family, and that it’s ever expanding.

5 days worth of words and it’s only day 3.

yep. don’t need a full face to know who that is.

I am ridiculously happy right now. Using a real killer for inspiration has kept me from getting bogged down in the details, which is awesome. My killer has an unique voice and an unique way of taunting the world’s most unambiguously gay superheroes. Oh, sorry. Heroes don’t exist and if they did, Sherlock wouldn’t be one of them.

That said, the story has already gone off the rails.

This one will definitely not be published anywhere. It became cracktastic, and a whole lot of… I don’t even know what to call it… but it’s a new level of crack that I’ve never come across. (Yet.)

I swear, it doesn’t matter how hard I worked on this prior to 1 November, how I adjusted the timeline to attempt to fit BBC canon, how amazing the reveal of the killer is, I’m at the beck and call of the voices in my head.

The next 26 days or so are going to be pure hell if I can’t make the boys behave.

Hand jobs! For science, Jawn!

That has to be one of the best tags I’ve ever seen.

Oh, Sherlock fandom, when you’re not absolutely killing me with the feels, you’re making me laugh until I cry.

Thank you for the distraction, and the inspiration, and the reminders of what Sherlock and John REALLY sound like as I work on the casefic.

And, OMFG, I figured out whodunnit already and have changed the Zodiac to be a more annoying, but better educated, prick.

I got sick this afternoon, so I couldn’t go to New York like I wanted to, but I did get ahead on my word count, by almost a whole two days… I’ve also had verbal diarrhea in emails and text messages. I really apologize if you’ve been on the receiving end of one of those today.

At least they’re coming easy. Unlike John and Sherlock.

*ba dum tish*

They made it! Yes yes yes!! Oh these two.
I absolutely adored all the cuddles and nuzzles and cosy moments and head kisses in this - Douglas kissing Martin’s curls and Martin resting comfortably in Douglas’s broad chest is one of things I love most in the whole wide world.

Thank you so much for bringing the boys together and for letting Martin stay!!

Aawww, all the Marlas feels

The sleeping scene is soooo sweet.

AO3 (11/01/2013 - “This Week: HARTFORD! (Cabin Pressure / Marlas)”):
Aaww, I’m so happy to see they shared a tender moment! They really take their time dancing around each other, they should just talk!! Aaahm those two.
But I understand - especially Douglas might need some time, and both are a bit afraid.
Looking forward to the 2nd part!

AO3 (10/31/2013 - “This Week: HARTFORD! (Cabin Pressure / Marlas)”):
I’m loving this story so much, and will write a more detailed appreciation later, when I don’t have to peck out letters on my iPad at 5 in the morning.

Give yourself a little credit. You are intelligent and have an awesome command of the English language. That my friend is a writer’s most powerful asset.

Just keep doing your thing Tam. You are an awesome person, and maybe it takes somebody with my perspective to realize that, but it shouldn’t.

R2D2 (05/18/13 - blog):
But very good writing, I’ll be honest I didn’t expect it to be that good.

Rollz (09/22/11 - “Scott and Kate (based on Soulmate Boy’s first suicide attempt)”):
I just read “Scott and Kate.”  It was wonderful!  You use such great language and it flows so well.  The dialogue was so good I started to tear up a little at parts but don’t tell anybody that! Thanks so much for sharing with me, it really made my day!

You shouldn’t be shy about your writing, you have a strong voice and you should be proud of that.
