For the non-lurkers, my friends list and the casually interested, I did go and buy the rare vinyl. And no, I have been bothered to connect up the stereo to play it.

As regards to [info]soundingsea 's birthday love meme thing, the whole experience highlighted just why I don't usually participate in these things. I got all confused as to whether I was supposed to reply to the nice comments people left that I procrastinated for week feeling horribly guilty. So to redeem myself, thank you to those kind enough to say lovely things about me.

In other news, I don't have anything interesting to say. I'm still poking the WIP.

Lurker Amnesty Day Feb. 7th, 2010 @ 07:14 pm
Hello lurkers, I'm talking to you.

Please understand that you are welcome to delurk at any time on this journal. An amnesty day is not necessary as I will not bite your head off on any other day of the year.

Regards

Boggy

The question du jour is do I go and buy that bit of rare vinyl, even though I can never be bothered to connect up my record player anymore?

[info]quinara started it, but it was while discussing her voice post that I realised I could actually record myself on my camera and not have to worry about the phone bill for calling LJ.

So, let's see if this works at all...

It's been an okay birthday, i suppose. It's doesn't really feel like a birthday unless there's presents. I get those tomorrow.

Still, I went to see Avatar with the full 3D experience and really liked it, even if it's ultra predictable, but I don't think I've ever cried so much at a film! I really must be getting old.

Outing myself here for the kind of things I look up on Ebay (crap for Breyer model horses), but dear lord, are these people serious?

Snowpocalyse Day1 Jan. 6th, 2010 @ 11:05 pm
I worked from home today due to the snow. It just chucked more and more of it down over the course of the morning!

Tegan thought the snowfall was worth watching: )

The Bogwitch Creative Review of the Year Dec. 31st, 2009 @ 03:26 pm
Happy New Year and all that.

It's time for my creative review of the year again:

I started the year in quite a positive frame of writing mind, but this fizzled out in the face of underwhelming levels of feedback to some of my stories (especially the Supernatural ones). I wasn't expecting pages of feedback, but an active fandom should be able little more then I'm used to getting.

Oh well. There's nothing I can do about it.

Many Yuletide Greetings to my Friends List.

As usual I will still be about most of it. Plus I still have a rotten cold so I wouldn't want to go out in all that cold anyway - the picture was taken out of my window this week!

More snow!

This is like a real winter where snow actually lasts long enough to play in it and there's a real chance of a white christmas after all where all the snowy stuff on the tree doesn't look rather anachronistic. Plus I don't have to go out to work in it. Result!

I am so bored!

I have about three Christmas cards to write and then that's Christmas sorted, I'm snowed in (more or less) because of my cold, the cat keeps eating my puzzle and Dollhouse is still downloading.

I want something spontaneously creative to do!

1. The good news is that my throat isn't sore anymore, the bad is that my nose is full of goo.

2. Now I have worshipped at the altar of Depeche Mode once more, I can be complete again.

3. I don't think the cat likes me anymore. Plus she has a lump on her head.

4. I think I've killed my dishwasher. Eek!

5. Snow! In December! Could it be..,?

Fic: Working My Way Back to You - Chapter Thirty-One - Warpath Nov. 1st, 2009 @ 07:25 pm
Hopefully the cat will leave me alone long enough to post this.

This was meant to have been posted last Tuesday, but events and an accident where I managed to wipe the finished copy off my flash-drive prevented it being posted sooner.


Working My Way Back To You

No characters were harmed in the making of this fic. They do not belong to me, but are the property of Fox Entertainment and Mutant Enemy.

Summary: Spike/Buffy. Post-Chosen, Post Hellbound. What did you think the First Evil was doing after the closure of the Hellmouth? Knitting evil jumpers?

Thanks to [info]myfeetshowit for her beta work again.

Keep up in PDF! WORKING MY WAY BACK TO YOU IN PDF Just like a book might be, only better!
