"it'll still be there... waiting..."

As I told zinjadu a few days ago, my greatest talent in this world is misplacing things. And then, with a bit of luck, remembering all the strange places in which I tend to 'hide' things from myself. I can't find my cellphone charger, darn it. I hardly ever move it, so of course the one time I have to take it somewhere, I end up losing track of it when it comes back home. *Sighs*

Yesterday was very fun. Stopped by the Oceanography command center at Mary Gates and watched a sort of teleconference thing with the folks out on the ship - very interesting. Then we hid from the heat for a while, and went out to buy nekokoban her parasol, and get dinner on the Ave. Then up to Cellophane Square to look for CDs (I didn't find anything, thank goodness), and to Safeway for a box of popsicles, and back to zinjadu's to watch "The Incredibles." Unfortunately, we were all too tired from the heat to watch the whole thing, so we split up early-ish.

Best moment of the day had to be Terra and I, dressed in as much of our Firefly costumes as we have at the moment (why? because we wanted to), taking one look at an older fellow walking down the street toward us... who had perfect fluffed-out-freaky Shepherd Book hair. Managed not to laugh til he'd gotten a good deal past us, then cackled our heads off like madwomen. It was just too perfect.

Now, if I could just find that stupid charger...

Edited: OMG charger. It was in the bag in my bathroom. Sad thing is, as soon as I thought of it, I remembered that I kept seeing it there all week, and thinking "gee, I should go plug that in" like the idiot that I am. XP

bless the harvest

Happy Lughnassadh's eve to anyone else who celebrates!

And, fitted to the season, here's a Firefly fic, written under the (relatively mild) influence of holiday wine. Yay for those lovely cheap Arbor Mist wines... I love those things. Unfortunately, they're so tasty I can drink a lot more than usual without noticing. XD

Title: "First Harvest"
Fandom: Firefly
Warnings: None.
Notes: Gen fic, Simon/Kaylee assumed but not really a focus.
Characters: Simon, River, and Kaylee.

*eyes appliances warily*

It's some sort of special power that ratzeo has, I swear. I was on the phone with him, mentioned the washer, went downstairs to try to turn it on again to make sure... and it worked. Turns out it did the same thing for Kendra the other day and I just hadn't known.

Either that or it's a Lughnassadh miracle. In whatever case, I just hope it keeps up. Having clean laundry is good. *g*
