Catch-up of epic proportions
25 Oct 2008 05:40 pmI took the day off today. This is in response to my body basically breaking yesterday, which I suspect had something to do with me going out to dinner Thursday evening. (Spent Thursday night sick as a dog, not fun. I think my body has decided to be allergic to anything not caffeine-related.) I did mostly nothing, but caught up on some reading and watched the second half of The State Within. Am contemplating either a really brainless movie or a really arty one this evening. I have enough stock-piled so I don't need to rent anything, but I may have to venture out to the corner store for popcorn and chocolate. Horrors.

In non-work related matters, I am trying to get my social planner back on track. This coming week and the week after look rather busy, and my weekends have basically disappeared until the new year. I have no idea how that happened, frankly, I'm a little surprised as I don't recall planning anything during those months. But what with birthdays and hen parties and a wedding to attend, that's wrapped up most of the remaining year.
So - what I really need to do is find a winter dress for a wedding. For two weddings, actually. I have formal wear for the summer, but nothing suitable for the winter. Any thoughts or suggestions?

The fandom nominations are open for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
yuletide! I look forward to yuletide every year, it's the one ficathon where I always have time to write and don't feel rushed. I don't usually submit fandom nominations, as there is always plenty for me to volunteer for, but as it's here...
After much to-ing and fro-ing, I finally decided on:
( fandoms )
I love plenty of other small fandoms, but I suspect that things like Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Secretary will have plenty of nominations, whereas the above are small even foryuletide. So. :)
In honour ofyuletide (and of me taking the weekend off), comment with a rare fandom, a character suggestion and a prompt, and I'll drabble you something. (Caveat: this offer only stretches to fandoms I've actually heard of, so if you're not sure, offer a selection, pls.)
