Home again...

So, what to say? Well, I guess catching up with what I've been up to over the last two weeks or so would be good...

Spent a couple of days in London with cycnus39, where she dragged me around the British Museum and I dragged her to restaurants. Sadly, my few pics of the phallic windchime didn't come out too well, but hers are much better, so for those who're interested you can see a bunch of pics starting here. But oh, the fecking miserable weather!

E.T.A. - Oh, and apparently I got two stories ('Journeys End', which I expected might be it, and 'Enkiddu' where I really thought I was the only one on the entire planet who actually liked it) nominated for the SG fanfiction thingummyjig, which came as something of a surprise. Hopefully the whole thing is not as batshit insane as previous years, but I wouldn't bet on it - I got burned by it, so I gave up nominating way back. It's looking much more complex than previous years and I'm not sure how the nominations thing works - as can be seen by the number of edits to this post, I don't think I'll be tackling it any time in the next few days. ;)

Music meme redux

Time to tidy up the music meme, as well - guess the ones that are left over from here *adds more lyrics* :

2. Ain’t thinking ‘bout love today / Lost in the sunlight / Walking down memory lane / Ain’t thinking ‘bout you today / People from the past that I knew / Are slowly slipping away

3. I could be just like the calm before the storm boy / Waiting for all hell yeah to break loose / I could be innocent or I could be guilty / Doesn't mean that I won't believe in the news

4. Well the bottom fell out / On our summer / But we knew / What we got ourselves into / (Theyre sayin) / Let's go to San Diego / where all the crazy kids go

5. Staring at a maple leaf / Leaning on the mother tree / I said to myself we all lost touch / Your favorite fruit is chocolate covered cherries / And seedless watermelon / Nothing from the ground is good enough

10. Feelin' better / Since I surrendered / You can't climb / 'Till you're ready to fall / You're not a land mine / You're not a gold mine / No you're not mine at all

11. And it's true we named our children / after towns that we've never been to / And it's true that the clouds just hung around / like black Cadillacs outside a funeral

12. I wish you'd stop ignoring me, because it's sending me to despair / Without a sound, yeah, you're calling me, and I don't think it's very fair / Oh, but you're an explosion (you're dynamite) / Your name isn't Rio, but I don't care for sand / Lighting the fuse might result in a bang, b-b-bang, go!

17. I am here watching your form / slowly pacing in the dawn, as all the stars die / Yeah you're like a hit you are tailored just to fit the changing season / Baby what is this we are two star crossed bits of an equation

Guesses, anyone? ;) One of them is a track I got from someone on my friendslist, so I'm a bit surprised it's still up for guessing...
