Day 12: Describe a typical day in your life
Depends if it is a work day or home day. And also if it is a weekend and Bear is home or if I'm at my parents' house for a few days. For simplicity's sake, I'll just briefly describe a work day and basic home day.
Work day: I get up at 6am, get ready and I'm out of the door by 6:20 with my lunch and a thermos of tea. I stop by at the corner store to get a bagel with cream cheese and get on the subway. I have a pretty long commute - a couple of hours, so I either read or grade papers, depending on the week. I actually like the free time of commute. Once I get to my office, I print and photo copy anything I need for class or come up with various handouts. It is also my office hour so students occasionally stop by. Then I teach two classes, 80 minutes each. Eat my lunch in the 20 minute break between classes. After my classes are over I catch the train back for my long commute back. My brain is usually fried by then so I either read my kindle or National Geographic. Once I get home I either cook dinner or play with Tanya (I usually cook enough for a few days at a time, so I don't have to cook every night). Then we eat at 6:30 or so and put Tanya to bed around 7:30. Then I can go on my phone to catch up on LJ and other internet and can go on my laptop a bit. Maybe even watch something occasionally. If Bear is home I usually try to sneak out to the living room without triggering "Mommy Is Gone, No" Alarm and hang out with him for a bit. Occasionally, I grade papers with a red flashlight.
Home day: we are on a routine. I think she is shifting to one nap from two naps right now so it is a little bit in flux but basically we get up at 6 or so, depending on baby, and then breakfast, potty, playgroup, nap, eat, potty, play, Mommy's lunch, nap, eat, potty, playground, home - Bear is back, cook dinner or play some more, eat, bedtime - finally my time is sort of my own and see above about post bedtime routine. I read or catch up on internet on my phone when she naps. My time is not my own right now, but that's fine. It's not forever.

12 – Have you ever attempted an "adaptation" fic of a favorite book or movie but set in a different fandom?
No. I don't think I would want too. I liked the universes I write it; there are only a few crossovers I that I liked reading.
TV
So last night after my trying day I watched the premiere of The Muppets . That was pretty fun. AA joke slayed me. Then I saw that Netflix finally added the last Doctor Who Christmas special, yay, so I watched half of it before my laptop batteries gave out. I finished it this afternoon. And just now I checked BBC America website, and sure enough I watched the first episode of the new season of Doctor Who.
