Yesterday's small spurts of water turned into this morning's liquid running out of the bottom of the engine almost as fast as it went into the coolant reservoir. Accordingly, that car did not see me make the 80-mile round trip to work - it's going in for repairs on Monday and in the meantime I have had to hire a car.

Along with my central heating playing up just in time for this cold snap and my previous employer demanding money with menaces (their overpayment of me), I'm hoping that's my three. ;)

And in other news: jensenrick, I saw this and thought of you, though I know other people on my friendslist will appreciate it as well. :)

This week's fannish5:

What 5 fannish things are you thankful for?

1. The great people from all round the world who I would never have met if it wasn't for our shared obsessions with perving over cowboys in tight pants/sexy archaeologists/recalcitrant Russian spies [delete as appropriate].

2. The wide range of creativity all of this fannish madness inspires - where else could you have people sitting down to write stories about a grumpy potions master and a sentient broomstick? Fandom is full of crazy people, that's for sure, but many of them are the good crazy. ;)

3. I am also extremely thankful for Jim West's arse (particularly in chaps), Daniel Jackson's lip-licking, Ezra Standish's cheeky grin and the mental image of undressing Severus Snape very very slowly.

4. Music vids - having made some myself, I know how they can drive you absolutely crazy in production but I'm extremely thankful for the best of them and the people who have the patience to make those videos. *blows kisses at przed in particular*

5. That even when I've had a bad day, there's enough craziness and humour floating around the people I know through fandom that I can distract myself by focussing on whatever else is going on...
