seperis | i always know how much fun I had by the amount of foot pain

After going through A Very Special Security Check at Midway last night (as V's ID was stolen), we arrived home into a balmy 50 degrees after leaving snow-filled Chicago. Let me just point out, in six years, as soon as Child graduates, I have chosen where I will live. Surely I can manipulate him into going to Northwestern.

(I would recommend A Very Special Security Check. Despite how it sounds, there is a neat box they put V into to blow air at her, then residue testing of her things. I was very fast. Honestly, might be faster than regular security, if you can ignore the terror of someone finding your lighter you accidentally left under your laptop.)

Whee Art!

goss made awesome art inspired by The Tale of the Sea Serpent here. Which is oh my God so gorgeous. She also made me a bookcover version that will actually probably inspire me to update my webpage for the first time in--some long period of time less than a year.

I am tired and my feet hurt and legs hurt, which is proof I had a marvelous time. My thanks to lovely

svmadelyn for being an awesome tour guide and everyone at dinner on Saturday who were deeply awesome and I will report on later as it involves dragons.

I am still sleepy. Anyone want to recommend Merlin fic I missed?

That's why he goes bad, you know -- all the good people hit him on the head or try to shoot him and constantly mistrust him, while there's this vast cohort of minions saying, We wouldn't hurt you, Lex, and we'll give you power and greatness and oh so much sex...
Wow. That was scary. Lex is like Jesus in the desert.

Obi-Wan has a sort of desperate, pathetic patience in this movie. You can just see it in his eyes: "My padawan is a psychopath, and no one will believe me; I'm barely keeping him under control and expect to wake up any night now to find him standing over my bed with a knife!"

It's weird, after you get used to the affection you get from a rabbit, it's like any other BDSM relationship. Only without the sex and hot chicks in leather corsets wielding floggers. You'll grow to like it.

*hugs* Glad you had a fabulous time and that you are home safe. :) I actually had a dream where the animals were following Arthur around the forest and were charmed by his wings while he was increasingly unnerved. *facepalm* You know what this means, right?

Ooooh, dragons?

DRAGONS ARE AWESOME.

I want to see this story, chica. SHOW ME THE ANIMALS. ANd the wingfic!

I am working on it! (curses school) When I start *dreaming* stuff then I know it's on. *cough*

DRAGONS FTW.

Arthur had his hand on the hilt of his sword and said offhandedly. "Merlin, have you noticed that we're being followed?"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, that bird is either attracted to your scarf or else you're carrying something very tasty in your pack." Arthur glanced to the side. "And it's brought along a few friends."

"They're just birds, sire," Merlin said, as if he was only humoring Arthur until he could figure out what else to do.

"Of course, and herds of deer often follow men in the forest. I had forgotten, undoubtedly this is why none of the villages in these parts are going hungry."

It feels these days that turning away from the monitor for one minute results in missing new Merlin fics. Not that I'm protesting :)

Just an aside. The machines they use for the residue testing? I maintain and repair those. :) As well as the xray machines. I am not qualified to work on the 'puffer', but that is a Very Good Thing.

And yes, at the big airports? Being a selectee is actually much faster than regular screening. Not so much at anything smaller though...

Whee! You're back!

Also, in addition to that list, Calex posted another chapter of the Porn Star AU (aka The Best Use Of Arthur's Perfectionism Ever) here (http://users.livejournal.com/_calex_/68241.html).

Maybe you haven't read this one yet...
