Welcome back, all!
I've been writing this post in dribs & drabs in email all day, and it's become just a set of highlights of The Day LJ Stood Still.
Normally, if I can't get onto lj for 28 hours I wonder if I'm missing anything interesting - I didn't feel like that today because I knew I at least wasn't missing interesting posts - there just *were* none. Tomorrow, otoh...
Went to Oceans 12 last night - very cute and you could tell they had a lot of fun with it. Did anyone see it without having seen 11? I can't see how it would've made sense in that way. I also wonder how Benedict is going to explain things on his tax return. The meta was very amusing, and I didn't like Brad Pitt's hair.
Then we went to this cute restaurant that we hadn't been to since august. We went for the good-enough food and the amazing molten chocolate cake. They've changed the menu, though - no more molten cake. Le sigh.
But I made it up to myself by having a nutella + strawberries crepe this morning for brunch.
Stumbled into a new manicure place today - the theme is PINK.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
praetorianguard would not like its scheme, but ari_o would, and epicyclical would comment on the glitter. sjbranford would never cross the threshold.
tea_and_toast, praetorianguard approved my Nefarious Plan, which should make for an interesting spring. I see april fools in the context somehow. Whee.
Jasper Fforde is auctioning off some Thursday Next & writing stuff - proceeds will go to tsunami relief. Cool guy. Auction ends on Jan. 27.
Now, I'm off to catch up on whatever's made it to my flist so far - and I have a question for all of you - what did you do for your Day Off From LJ?

Well, it actually was not too different from every other saturday, only with the knowledge that I wasn't missing anything! *meep*.
We finally got rid of the "junk" we had stacked up on our trailer and brought it to the dump! Old broken furniture, old books, broken radios; you know the stuff that you keep and say, "well, maybe SOMEDAY I'll use it/fix it/give it away. Then five years late, it's still in the same spot! So, we went dumping and then I did laundry.
I know... you're jealous, aren't you? :DD

On my day off from LJ, I watched my dad and husband fix the water heater. I took down more Christmas decorations now that the boxes for them have been located. I went grocery shopping. I went and watched the kid bowl in his new bowling league. It was pretty much a normal Saturday around here. I'm usually too busy on weekends to spend much time on LJ anyway. It's the weeknights that I need it to keep me sane!

I refreshed the page over and over and over..
I may have also checked my email a few times and read a few stories.

I commemorated NO LJ DAY by attending departmental meetings (oh joy, oh light of my life) and reading not-half-bad Pride and Prejudice smut. There was also comfort food of the salami and provolone panini and caramel macchiato varieties.
I'm glad the s00persekritsneaky plan is on. Very cool.

I didn't miss LJ being down at all. I closed at work last night, which means I got home around 1:30 this morning. After eating dinner, opening my inbox and realising I didn't really have the time or energy to do anything, I tottered off to bed. I had to be up before 6 for a 7 a.m. staff meeting. By the time I got home I was exhausted. Had a quick snack, a nap and got up in time to go meet my sister and her husband so we could go to a dinner party. I think I am immensely grateful not to have lots of LJ to catch up with, especially considering the serious backlog that is my inbox. :)

But to answer your question, today I wrote 90% of a fic, cleaned out a drawer, and then found out about the gathering at GJ, so it was sort of business as usual after that. :P So useful of me, I know.

Yummy!
OBTW - Happy Belated B-day - LJ was down, what can I say...
Day off from LJ - de-cluttered all the flat surfaces in the kitchen, living room, dining room and 1/2 of the bedroom. Damn I hate clutter!

Oh, and Happy Birthday, in case you didn't see my last comment (on another entry) :)

I managed to get a new episode of Cold Case downloaded (new to me). I watched Season One DVDs of a UK spy show called "Spooks". And I went out for a friend's birthday party in London where there was ridiculous amounts of food and a respectable amount of booze. Met lots of new and fun people. Yay :)

Didn't do much yesterday as my daughter was sick, so we spent much of the day huddled together in front of the TV. Boring, I know.
