Day 30: Highs and lows of the past thirty days
I took me a little longer than thirty days to finish this meme. My life is pretty even right now - not too many highs or lows. I like it. It was nice to go to a wedding and a birthday party and to finally read the 8th Tomek book. RS Games starting was also nice. And Tanya learning new words like "tapki" (meaning "slippers.")
Lows were not too low - mostly being frustrated when Tanya won't eat and getting stressed or dealing with tantrums of not wanting to leave the playground - those are pretty minor. It really sucked dealing with NY State Department of Taxation again - we are probably going to get a new accountant.
30 Days of Fanfic Meme
30 – Do you have a favorite fic you've written? What makes it your favorite? And don't forget to give us a link
That's like picking between children. All of them have something I like, or I liked the process of writing it. I loved redoing Beauty and the Beast for Remus and Sirius, for example. Or teaching a "Global History to 1600" class and writing a Methos drabble (from Highlander) corresponding to each lecture ( story here .) I can't pick. But if I must, I'm going to also link to a Torchwood fic that pretty much wrote itself. And I accidentally wrote the Doctor too. It takes place 1000 years after Ianto's death and Jack is time traveling and just watching him in a park. It's called A Nice Sunny Day .
Movie
I watched The Beasts of No Nation last night on Netflix as it premiered. It's a movie about a child soldier in the unnamed country in Africa. It was not easy watching that movie. The subject matter is difficult. But it is a good movie. The acting was fantastic. And it makes me very grateful to be born where I was born and to live where I live where I don't have to deal with war. I can't even imagine how people live in those circumstances.
It got pretty cold today. I wish I had gloves. At least I bundled Tanya up in her warm purple jacket with her hat and mittens. I guess the weather is really about to turn wintery.
I got a letter questioner for jury duty today. I thought I did my Federal Court jury duty 3 years ago but it turned out to be 4 years ago. On the form, it said that I didn't have to serve if I served less than 4 years ago for Federal court. Ah, well. I'm just over 4 years. So I went online to fill out the form there. But on online form it said to check "yes" if I served on State or Federal Court up to 6 years ago. There is this discrepancy. Well, since I was filling out online form, I checked "yes" to that. So we'll see what will happen.
