(no subject)

I slept well last night - all of the four hours or so that I got. I wasn't early in bed to begin with, but when I lay there my brain just wouldn't shut up. Occasionally I'd drift off for a minute or two, then my thought processes kicked into full gear again. You wouldn't belive the amount of data one brain cell can process... And it wasn't even about anything that's worrying me - just random stuff, jumping from this to that to here to over there... so I got up again at about... oh, 2:30? Made myself a cup of tea and put the first Firefly disc into the laptop to go hunt for a Simon screen cap I could use for my mood theme (which is progressing ever so slowly). Gave up for the night after I had finished my tea, and then I finally did fall asleep, but of course it was about 3:30 by the time I went back to bed, and the alarm went off at 6:55 as usual. Speaking of which - did I ever mention I HATE my alarm clock? It's still the first one I ever got, one of these cube shaped radio alarm clocks that goes DOOT-DOOT-DOOT-DOOT-DOOT until I hit the button. I haven't used the radio feature for aaaaages, and the plastic cover once was white but now is more of a dirty yellowish shade. It's ugly. But the worst thing - I used to be all right with its tone, but not anymore. It literally shocks me out of sleep. Not the best way to start a day, especially when it rips me out right from the middle of a dream! I never got around to go look (and listen) around for a new one, but now I saw a "Zen alarm clock" or some such in a catalogue which apparently emits a single, soft bell-like tone, starting gently and gradually getting louder. Sounds perfect to me! No extras except a timer function, but that's all I'll ever need from my alarm clock. I think I'll have to invest in that!


Saw Pirates of the Caribbean 2 Sunday night. ( Cut for possible spoilerage )

Two quick, hot fic recs, before I forget them again:

ismenin wrote some short, but hawt pron set in her Inca universe (Dom/Lizhe of course), as well as a lovely sonnet set in her Son of the Sun universe. Available here.

And many many thanks to ladysunrope for pointing out Ten Times (Dom/Lijah) by v_angelique. Ever had hot flashes while reading fic? *fans self*

Make sure you have some ice nearby before you follow the links... ;)
