- irana: On BDSM, Part II - Today we're going to look at some other terms - negotiation, limits, contracts - break those down, and hopefully provide those reading with a better understanding of what those terms mean. -
- irana: On BDSM, Part I - Consent is a vital element in all psychological play, and consent can be granted in many ways. -
- the_minx_17: Hi! My name is Minxie...¦ - [...] if a piece of fiction disregards the basic principles of safe, sane, and consensual they really are more trouble than they're worth. -
- Deadline to sign up for a holiday card from me is December 7 -- that's when the art supply place claims it will deliver my blank cards, heh.
- I launched my fine art site and totally forgot to tell y'all -- Antemortem Arts is open, and I've even put stuff in my Etsy shop.
- I have exactly 3 pieces of fan art left to do, and then those commitments are fulfilled. Since they're all due for Xmas (2 HP Holiday Card Exchange cards, and my own HP Xmas card), I'll be all done by the end of the year. Weird!
- I found betas for

accioslash's LLM fic, and it will be posting in ![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/community.gif)
santas_lap along with the Sirius/Neville I still have to finish, oops. - I've been making some quiet writing progress on various things, including a certain person's incredibly belated prize fic (one more scene and it's done!), a chapter of the no-longer-New Thing that I probably ought to post to swtalmnd_nano, and little dribs and drabs to my other three WiPs that aren't for any fest or person or anything.
- Coconut Cocoa Tea ftw.

10:09p | No diploma for you, Fattie! http://www.thedailybeast.com/cheat-shee You know, I'd still have a problem with this, even if they made UNDERWEIGHT students take the same 'health and fitness class' in order to graduate as the so-called "obese" students. Less of a problem, but still a problem. Because by this university's flawed standard? I am obese. Meaning that, had I given the school my thousands of dollars and four years of my life, I would be barred from graduating too. I am a size 14 - 16, and am over the 30 bmi limit. Methinks this university is going to spend a whole lot in legal fees, and soon! |

8:41p | Kitchen Witchin -- Spanish Rice casserole Tonight's dinner was a triumph of improvisation, ergo I want to record it before I forget the details of what went into the pot. * 1 lb ground chicken * 3 smallish cloves of garlic, minced. (For once, I did NOT salt-grind them.) * One poblano pepper, chopped. * One small yellow onion, similarly chopped. * A drizzle of sesame oil. I'd guestimate between a teaspoon and two. * One 15 oz can of tomatoes. (I used Muir Glen's fire roasted with green chiles, but you should use whatever you fancy.) * One wee can of sliced black olives, drained of its brine. * A cup, more or less, of chicken broth (I eyeballed this. Sorry for the inexactitude.) * One cup of long grain brown rice. * Black pepper (five grinds,) cumin ( a very light dusting over the top,) and crystalized garlic (a generous dusting over the top,) to taste. Prep is ridiculously easy. In a very deep frying pan, saute the chicken, garlic, onions and pepper in the sesame oil. Once the chicken is not very pink anymore, add the rice, and saute for as long as it takes you to get your cans open, and your broth measured out. (The extra saute induces the dry rice to take up the liquid easier, which, being brown rice, it really could use the help.) Dump the tomatoes into a two cup pyrex glass measure, and then add chicken broth to the tippy top. Dump that in, then splash another third cup or so in for good measure. (Consider using that to rinse the dregs out of the tomato can. Cos it's yummy, that's why.) Stir in the olives (which will bring all the boys to the yard with their saltiness,) Bring it to a boil, then down to a simmer, and cover the pan for 25 minutes. I put the dry spices in about fifteen minutes before serving, but really they can go in just about any time. Overall simmering time was around half an hour to 40 minutes, with three stirrings in, and the lid left off for the last ten minutes. Try not to be appalled by how much like boxed mix the result will look. Fact is, it tastes worlds beyond better. And what's more? Gluten free. If you're a lightweight, you can replace the poblano pepper (which ain't that spicy, really,) with something like a Romano, Anaheim, or Cubanelle pepper. If you do it with a bell pepper though, I will scorn you from afar, so it's best you don't tell me that detail. However, as usual, I want to hear the REST of how it comes out if/when you try this in your own kitchens. Om Nom, my darlings! Current Music: Parfum soundtrack |

11:00a | An offline friend of line is in trouble. Deep trouble. Sunday morning, I was crying about it (as well as my own manifold problems). No, I don't think it was just the menopause. After the initial flailing and some talking with someone else, my mind cleared and I thought of one or two ideas. I'll say more later. Gums are still sore, but probably still healing. Still playing World of Warcraft. My therapist gave me a gift last Thursday: a cognitive-behavioral therapy workbook, with exercises. He told me to do the first chapter. It teaches stress-coping and relief strategies. Gods, do I need that just now. Current Mood: stressed |

10:46a | With a smile on my face, and a bottle in my hand, you'll find me in the gutter in the morning... I am SO crushing on Enter the Haggis's newest disc, Gutter Anthems! We listened to it pretty much nonstop on the drive back from Boston, and sure enough, it's back in the player again this morning, with no sign of galling yet. It was a strange venue -- all baby boomer, arts council sort of crowd, butts planted firmly in seats, and no room to get up and dance. NOT the kind of environment which comes naturally to EtH, or the HaggisHeads (the latter of which were moshing and jigging about in the corners anyhow, by the end of the show.) I bruised the everlovin out of my hand with all the clapping though, and that is a surefire sign of a great show. Brian, the great woobie, clearly has someone in his life who's Taking Care Of Him now -- he's put some flesh on his face and frame, and no longer looks starveling thin. Myself, I find it cute, but I know there are some who'll be having the "he got all fat!" reaction. I say fuck em and feed em fish heads; he looks HAPPY! And of course he's still musically brilliant, as well, going from fiddle to vocals to keyboards to rhythm guitar to percussion with misleading ease. Oh, I am quite content to fangirl him from afar, though it would be quite the fun thing to seissun with him just the once. I've no intention of working that closely with another genius again though. I've done my time in that salt mine, thanks! So the concert was great, the company was great, both our overnight hosts, and our lunch date as well. It was great to see Spider doing so well, and to get to meet, and highly approve of Boy. The ride home was pretty as always, and filled with New Music, and once we got home, the Faithful were so happy to see us they decided to forego the Rite of Shunning altogether. So they were underfoot and Helpful while we made ourselves a supper out of brussels sprouts, shallotts, quinoa, and ham. And then we had DVR'd episodes of NCIS and Criminal Minds to get caught up on, and the cherry-on-top of an early bedtime, and our own bed to have it in. Perfect Weekend. Yesh. I even got some work done on Tempus Fugitive on the drive out there, so that's good. And now Godric is holding down the arm of my chair, and conspicuously leaning on my elbow, since I won't let him sleep in my lap. Should I move my arm out from under him, he'd fall against my ribs without noticing, however should I use my elbow to nudge his arse back up onto the chair arm, he'd get offended and bail. Just like that. *sneerk* Kitties are so funny! And best of all? Dominus is taking the week home from work. So I have companionship which is conversant in English! Woo Hoo! |

3:24a | FIC: Sex, Lies, and Audiobooks Title: Sex, Lies, and Audiobooks Author: RaeWhit ( aka joanwilder)Team: Snitch! Genre: Alive and Kicking (EWE) Prompts: Secrets and Lies, Coming Home Rating/Warnings/Kinks: NC-17, mild bondage, whipping Word Count: 48,000+ Summary: Belonging and deserving, needing and wanting—desires of the human heart that Severus and Harry must face when they're forced to the little village of Lochdubh to settle a very late codicil of Albus Dumbledore's will. Author Notes: The village of Lochdubh and its inhabitants in this story are the property of BBC Scotland (from the series Hamish Macbeth). All things Harry Potter belong to J.K. Rowling et al. I'd be remiss if I didn't express my appreciation to Rudyard Kipling for his masterpiece, Captains Courageous. This is my journal posting of my 2009 Mixed snarry_games fic. My heartfelt appreciation to jadzialove for the excellent beta reading, to whitecotton for help with Scottish-izing my Scottish, and to sestra_prior for her assistance with British questions. This is posted in six parts; subsequent parts have been linked. ( Sex, Lies, and Audiobooks--Part One ) |

8:50p | Dear god but James is a bit vapid. And that Oz Clarke gives him a few looks. Not that I blame him. But the faces... Lord the faces he pulls. I haven't stopped laughing all day what with the anon ship war hilarity, James dressed as "a rover customer", and James attempting to speak French... And he's got a nice bottom hiding under those clothes. |

10:31a | And now, for something completely different 1. I feel behind on fandom stuff, not least my f-lists. If you feel neglected, you're not imagining it. 2. Hello, sexism. And yet I'm totally tempted to install o_O 3. I don't need to run a ½-marathon - it's much more fun to read about ilanarama's marathons! 4. Without being able to say something intelligent about it, I'm extremely fascinated by the fact that I share virtual culture with people whose meatspace culture I don't share. Case in point: 100 Greatest Internet Videos In 3 Minutes. The music is obnoxious as hell, and I don't know all the clips. But the ones I do know are part of an internet culture I share with people from all over the world, but who's not a part of my meatspace culture. Know what I mean? Well, I'm fascinated. 5. I'm also endlessly fascinated with people who can do things with their bodies that I could never hope to do. Point: http://www.collegehumor.com/video:19036 6. Pollz! Poll #4614 Open to: All, results viewable to: All Which impressed you most? (You get multiple choice, because I'm nice [and impressed] like that)

9:59a | IJ economics According to my count of announcements announcements [sic], InsaneJournal has had seven account sales in 2009 (the seventh was just announced).I find that troubling, but am strangely adverse to mentioning it - because, I guess, I still feel grateful squeaky was so welcoming to us LJ refugees in 2007. At any rate, I get the impression IJ economics are either unstable, or squeaky wants a bigger personal profit out of the site. Which I can't say I blame him for; we all would like to be paid for our work. But I am questionable about the future of IJ. |
