My bingo card from the buddie-bingo-events

Yesterday I checked my traps first thing in the morning. No mouse.

I kept my eyes out for quick, furtive movements along the baseboards while I worked. No mouse.

I checked the traps one more time before I headed to bed. No mouse.

I went into the bathroom to pee, and guess what ran along the base of the vanity and behind the toilet while I was in there? That f*cking wee mouse. He's tiny, about the size of a cotton ball. But still, I do not like encountering vermin while I have my pants down around my ankles. I was hoping to drop a bucket over him when I got my pants back on, but he zipped back out the door and under the washing machine. Speedy little f*cker.

I ordered more mouse traps yesterday. I plan to win this season of Julie vs. the Mouse.

One of the very few advantages of having a fat arse is that it doesn't hurt quite so much when you find that patch of black ice in the parking lot and land on your arse on your way to the dumpster with your trash.

I'm fine. My dignity was more bruised than anything. I have definitely had worse wipe outs on ice in the past. This time I just landed on an overly padded hip and cursed a bit. So awkward trying to get up when you're on ice. =P

So, how was your day today?

Either my dust bunnies have gained sentience, or I just spotted a f***ing mouse in my living room.

* gets out the mouse traps *

It's time for another season of Julie vs. Mice.

ETA -Goddammit, mousing sighting f***ing confirmed. Just spotted the little bugger wandering around again next to the front door. Moved the mousetraps from the kitchen to the living room.

In honor of the various Femslash events that popped up this February, I figured I'd go with the theme for the pairings prompts. :D I picked two of my favorites.

Managed to finish my smallfandomfest prompt early this morning (only 2 hours late...).

Signed up for the Fresh Femslash Salad Bar, figured I'd try my hand at it. If anyone has a particular femslash pairing they want to see (and you know I ship it or just ask, you never know - I haven't finished updating that list), feel free to request a pairing. I'm not quite sure what pairings I'll do, but that would be helpful to narrow it down.

Week 1 of the DCU Femslash February Comment Fest has started which is focused on drabble/short form, angst, and/or rarepair.

Wrote up a post at supergirl_tv about current challenges/events happening, feel free to let me know if I missed any. I'm going to try do that monthly, but who knows.

Also did a "First Kiss" prompt at basically all my communities that I run.

Finished my Hunting Party icons for tvmovie20in20 - shockingly early! I of course had to use Nick Wechsler's character Oliver for the "Space" prompt in honor of the first role I knew him from Kyle from Roswell. I used also a lot more textures than I normally do with this set so hopefully they turned out ok. XD Seriously if anyone starts watching the show and enjoys it, please let me know! It's a really small fandom so the more the merrier.

I don't know what possessed me, but I took a look at houses in Lowell on Zillow tonight.

I found one rather nice house in my price range. Then checked the map, and it's withing smelling distance of the town sewage plant. Which always smells rather pungent when I drive by, and is strong enough in the summer that I always close my car windows when I pass it. I can smell it just writing about it. No, I do not want to buy a house in a one block radius of that stench.

I found another home that looked nice, a 1950s vintage ranch. It's within a block of U Mass Lowell, so too close to campus to be a quiet neighborhood. I'm a good four miles away, and I'm still too close to campus.

And I looked at a townhome. Same size as my condo, but it's nice and sunny because it's not underground. And the neighbors would be on either side of me, not over my head. And I would have access to a tiny back deck and a backyard. But it costs three times what I paid for my condo. For basically getting some sunlight and a little bit of grass with the same square footage.

* le sigh *

I don't know why I bothered looking.

I’m guessing we got about 16 inches of snow overnight here at Frogholm. We’re supposed to get two more inches today, and it’s lightly snowing. So if that keeps up, yeah, I can see two more inches.

Had to attend a meeting today, because one of my teams is being re-orged. The phone rang just as I was exiting the meeting and getting ready to go out and shovel. The condo manager, calling to nag me to go out and shovel out my car. Apparently one of the condo trustees was going around taking pictures of license plates to have the manager call people. Madam trustee may be retired, but I still have to work. No snow days when you work from home. =P I can only shovel between meetings.

Got both cars shoveled out and moved. I REALLY need to clean out the reenactor crap in the trunk of the Honda and donate that sucker. The problem is, I need to clear space in the sewing room first. * le sigh * Guess who has a winter project this weekend….

I learned that there's a hashtag #MonthofDick on bluesky and sadly it is for people reading Moby Dick and not gay hockey.

I'm currently halfway through watching Heated Rivalry and picked up a different gay hockey romance just for curiosity's sake. A colleague has been on a mission to read ALL the hockey romances -- they've read 72 so far -- and wants to make 2026 the Year of Sapphic Hockey which I find great.

So I ended up joining a book club through my record store -- it's four of us altogether, I'm the only girl and relieved by how frankly pure the other guys are, and we had a sincere conversation mulling the popularity of hockey romances right now. All three guys are straight so they are earnestly puzzled, but in a "never would have thought, that's So Interesting" way as opposed to (derogatory), and so we were discussing the attractions of enemies-to-lovers and so on.

But then today I suddenly had the thought, imagining the academic world in 100 or 200 years, and the students who would be earnestly reading and studying 21st Century American Pastoralism, the flux of novels that took place in coffee shops, bookstores, and other cozy-but-in-real-life-more-stressful-than-charming locations, and how they would be interpreting that, and also of course the gay hockey. And I found imagining this world so INTERESTING because imagine this future student who had grown up with these charming novels and then doing research about sports injuries and everything and being so upset about it, like how Victorianists really end up deep-diving into all of the medical studies about STDs and stuff.

Anyway, these are the thoughts I have when the world is on fire.

Voting is up for Round 22 of tvmovie20in20 - Please vote for your favorite Theme, Category and Artists' Choice. Round 23 sign-ups are up and I'm planning on joining it, I just don't know what subject to do. I kinda want do a "new" show, so I'm thinking between High Potential, Doc, Heated Rivalry or Fallout. I'd love to do The Hunting Party but sadly I cannot find a source for screencaps and I was only able to download a handful of images for the show on their official site. EDIT: I did just find Melissa Roxburgh fansite with a gallery! YAY! So probably going to go with The Hunting Party unless I go with her character for the next round of characters20in20 - again I haven't quite decided. Maybe both? The Hunting Party for tvmovie, and her character for characters?

Managed to upload all my femslash to the Sunset Archive. I don't have a lot, so it's kinda faster to upload those in comparison to my other works I still need to upload to AO3 and then SquidgeWorld. Sunset is pretty small, so there's not a lot of works already there. Kinda like for CFAA. BTW the fandomtrees gifts were revealed - ended up getting three fics, A Shared Space by Sobriquett (Bridgerton, Kate/Anthony), Bone Deep Cold by jenab (The Flash CW, Barry/Caitlin), and Once More, With Feeling by freevistas (Sense8, Lito/Hernando/Dani) which are all VERY lovely, please read them if you like the pairings. Also received some SHIP banners (now located on my profile page) by the lovely maevedarcy (Again, soooo pretty! I miss ship buttons/banners!). Also received this post's icon (Annalise/Nathan/Gabriel from the Bastard Son & Devil Himself) by goodbyebird which is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!

In response of three peoples' trees, I've made three MCU fics a Baby From Another Universe (Bucky/Yelena, Alexei/Melina), only one bed (for three) (Darcy/Pietro/Wanda), and girlfriend's new pet (Kate/Yelena). Plus made some icons and a book rec for others.

Speaking of Annalise/Nathan/Gabriel, I have just a week left for my prompt of "Hold Each Other by A Great Big World" for smallfandomfest which I love the song, and someone early on had made a fanvid for the ship (very pretty, check it out!) which I love... but so far, hasn't inspired me which sucks 'cause it's like the perfect song for them. Ugh, I hate writer's block... If anyone happens to see this and can prompt with something they'd like to see for OT3 please let me know (or feel free to message me if you want to be private).
