auroracloudHow come is the weekend over again? Not fair. I've been semi-productive today; I cleaned up here a bit, with the help of some podcasts to listen to (I'm so much more likely to do something practical at home if I can at least use the time to listen to a short story / some Doctor Who geek talk / an audio drama), and I even vacuumed, which I haven't done in way too long. I cooked dinner and baked rolls - though dinner was one of the easiest foods I know how to make, baked roots with Finnish squeaky cheese (apparently they call it that in the US and it's either that or the Finnish name, which I promise you can't pronounce; check the Wikipedia entry I linked). It's super yummy, especially now that local vegetables are in season, but I managed to leave the roots a bit undone... Need to fix that before I eat the rest of it. At least the rolls turned out good!
After dinner I felt totally wiped out and just sat down to watch the Classic Who serial The Enemy of the World, which by the way is utterly brilliant so far. I only saw bits of it during the Twitch marathon, because timing (I think I watched most of what I did in the morning while having breakfast before work). I was very impressed already then, so I've been looking forward into seeing the full thing. Oh, and I want Victoria's outfit in that story. I also want her outfit from the Ice Warriors & the Abominable Snowman. It's funny, 60s Who makes me want to cosplay more than any of the New Who I've seen, because nearly every companion (definitely including Jamie!) wears things I totally want to wear, too. I've never wanted to cosplay anything before, but now I keep listing all the styles and outfits from this that I want to get. And not necessarily even to cosplay, just to have something nice to wear that I know is secretly a Doctor Who reference. Should do a separate post about that.
After two episodes I had to stop it in order to work out a bit, though. My upper back and shoulders don't like me currently, I haven't exercised enough...
Okay, enough rambling. I like putting a bit of non-writing stuff into these posts and then it gets away from me, sorry! I had some writing-related thing I wanted to put to y'all, but don't remember it now.
Today's Writing
So far I've worked a tiny bit on the original scene I started yesterday, and a bit more on one of the fics I started this week. I also looked at Femslash Exchange prompts to get treat ideas, and well, I have treat ideas now. I need to remember to start the canon review for my assignment, though, darn it! I'll still try to work on something a bit before I go to bed. Trying to do all those household things has meant I haven't been properly sitting down to write, and now I ought to go to sleep soon...

Date: 2018-09-09 08:27 pm (UTC)I can definitely relate to not ever having wanted to cosplay before you saw those episodes. That's the way I feel about Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries. Every single episode, I say, "Ooh, I like that coat/jacket/blouse/hat, etc." And I have actually bought a few pieces (within my budget, as opposed to the show's!) that are reminiscent. It makes me feel good to wear them and to know that I'm paying homage to Miss Fisher, even if no one else knows that. :-)
I did my writing before I began the day's cleaning, and I wrote 1389, which made me happy, particularly as there'd been a scene that I felt just didn't work, being a too abrupt transition into sexytimes for the two main characters, and the words I wrote today take care of that, establishing an actual dialogue and relationship between the two before they get naked together. *grins*

I'd definitely like some of them as well. Though the 60s Doctor Who companion-esque things might be easier to find in affordable prices.
Congrats on managing that much writing before your cleaning! And especially for managing to establish dialogue and relationship before sexy times, that is important. :-)
