Summary: There's a blue box on the Plass. And in the city centre. And in Roath. And in Penarth. The team investigates a murder that might be out of this world.

1. Guess what you can't wipe up with a Clorox wet nap? Baking Soda. Nope, if spills on the floor and you go to wipe it up, but you just end up pushing it around on the lino. Then when you give up and try to scoop as much of it as you can see, you realize you have just thinned it to an invisible coating of baking soda. And then for days when you step in that area in your socks, you get a squidgy feeling as you slide around in it. Then you realize that you put this in your body: A POWDER THAT CANNOT BE DISSOLVED AND PICKED UP BY THE LIQUID IN A CHLOROX WIPE. (Spider has since informed me that I can clean it with vinegar. Thanks, babe.)

2. Squeezing lemons when your hands are chapped to the point of cracking is not the smartest idea in the universe, lightbulb. However, if you put your fingers in baggies and put a rubber band at the base of each finger, you get to race the clock to see if the pain from cracked skin or the pain from listing feeling in the fingers will make you stop first.

The answer is NEITHER BECAUSE I AM THAT BADASS.

3. Me: Viv, are you done pooping?
Her: No. I got to chillax.
Me: What?
Her: Just chillax, mama.

4. I drove behind a Bronco II that had this on a paper taped to the back windshield: I WILLNOT SPEED JUST TO MAKE YOU HAPPY. I SLOW DOWN FOR TAILGATERS.

5. I have many thoughts on Rhianna's S&M. Some of them are not good. Most of them are nonchalant, which as we all know, is the opposite of chalant. Not to be confused with chalet, or Swiss Chalet, which makes me think of Swiss steak, which makes me want steak. Or those onions that come on top of steak sometimes. When you make a bowl of sautéed onions and mushrooms to put on steak and meats, that's called the kitty. I eat the kitty on fried sweetbreads. Now I want to watch Josie and the Pussycats. Dujour means swiss steak!

6. ( I DID A THING. )

Summary: The Hub is rebuilt, the team is remade, but the stamp of approval hasn't been given yet. Oh, and Jack's still missing.

I HAD SEX WITH GARETH DAVID LLOYD ON A SINK AT DRAGON*CON AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS LOUSY MANICURE:



( Yes, this sums up my whole D*C experience nicely. )

That was my big fat D*C exp. Seriously, few panels, lots of booze, tonnes of food, great people, EXCELLENT CONVERSATIONS, and a renewed sense of writing. I WILL WRITE THAT FPREG. IT WILL BE AWESOME.

OH AND I THINK I MIGHT HAVE A SEASON TO AIR THIS FALL.

( Oh, and Jack and Ianto's post-it D*C adventure )

BUT FOR NOW, my dad is out of surgery, and I'm waiting to hear how he is, and I have plans to make biscotti with cabernet cocoa powder, and possibly some cupcakes.

I dreamt about biscotti last night.

I made a list of shit to do divided by pages: on page per category, house, work, online, general, errands, etc. IT'S NINE PAGES LONG.

See ya'll on the flip side.

EDIT: I bought their Netherworld Blend and the Reanimator Blend. The latter is great. Haven't tasted the firmer. Go there and browse the teas and coffees.

That pilot thing? It's at AO3.

Torchwood Pilot: The Inquisition

I have notes and an intro and credits and all that, but it will all have to wait for the real deal. This is just the test.

Do you like it like this, though? At AO3? I'd have to split it into posts in LJ. I guess I'm going to lose comments, but hey, that's the way of the world.

Just lemme know what you think.

Author's Notes: Were we writing stuff we usually didn't? Was that the point of this? I think so. I think it was writing Hart and writing mpreg. So yeah. Mpreg. Thanks to paragraphs for the beta.
Summary: Jack thought that John'd been way too accommodating through this whole thing, and so he wasn't in the least surprised when the doctor told them that John was too far along in gestation for a procedure.

Alternate Summary for Foxy: how is babby formed? how girl get pregnant?

Title: For Science (and the Lulz)
Rating: PG-13
Summary: Oh my god, Jack thought, she was treating him like the Uncertainty Principle.
Notes: This is takes place after All In Good Time, the 11th episode of the Torchwood Virtual Season being "aired" at tw_itallchanges. If you're not following the Virtual Season, which takes place after canonical S2, essentially what you need to know is that in this ep, the new Torchwood medic, Dr. Megan Muli, has discovered Jack's immortality. Eat the crack. It's like pop rocks.
Beta Credit, Jesus: Neifile, Foxay, Thad, Misswinterhill, Bleu-bleu, Kel, Sam. Also I stole this header and the title from Sam.
