1. Lamented to myself that I’d recently posted Chapter Three of If I Can’t Dance (my new S/X fic) and now it was likely to have low readership and comments. (What? That wasn’t a subtle self-pimp?! *ahem* ;) )
2. Celebrated that by some stroke of unconscious psychic powers, I’d opened random multiple fic posts on tabs shortly before LJ went down! (I have lots of tabs open at home but I was at work and normally have *no* fic open on tabs.) So I was able to read and write up comments (which I saved in an email and posted once LJ was back up).
3. Was actually motivated to work on my least favourite task at work due to exhausting all the tabs I had open.
4. Discovered that the downtime was a San Francisco based issue when craigslist didn’t work. And why was I looking on craiglist? Well…(see #5)
5. A co-worker sent us this non-spoilery post about a gay Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows sex party. The post is NWS (my office is, er, kinda different so porn and nudity isn’t a problem here). Here’s the link.
6. And speaking of gay HP stuff, I watched this awesome vid: Harry Potter and the Brokeback Goblet. Seriously, this so rocks!
7. Since HP is clearly on my brain right now, I also giggled at the fake covers for Deathly Hallows. No spoilers, just silliness.
8. And in more HP obsessiveness, I found a thoughtful and interesting review of Deathly Hallows (basically spoiler-free) which I definitely agree with (oh and the reviewer’s Canadian which pleases me). AND by the same author, I read her reflections on the HP series as a whole, ‘Harry and Me’ (written pre-DH). That definitely also represents my thoughts on the series.
9. I also caught up on one of my favourite blogs: BSC Headquarters. Yes! This is the blog by the girl who read the Baby-sitters Club books when she was a kid (like me!!!) and is now re-reading and blogging about them in a fun and snarky way. Oh man, this takes me back – I LOVED those books. Thanks to

10. Finally watched the season finale of 24 and was disappointed. This season just didn’t live up to the awesome cracktasticness of last season.
So those are the random things I thought you all might find interesting! :D

i haven't read any of the babysitter's club books or harry potter, so... i'm sure most of that will be lost on me, lol
but i was caught in the same power outage as livejournal yesterday, which i thought was funny once i'd gotten out of work and tried to check my flist in a cafe.
and then i realized how much else i look at went down in the same crash, because i, too, tried to log onto craigslist.
speaking of craigslist: *waggles eyebrows* just why, praytell, are you looking at craigslist? ;)
also: hi! you've posted a couple of things now that i'm chomping at the bit to read, and have not had the time for. and i feel like i haven't said hi in a while. :)

Oh, opps! I did a bad job explaining on my post: #5 (which follows the comment about craigslist) is the posting on craigslist I was trying to look at. It's the gay HP sex party. That's a link that's amusing to check out even if you don't read the books!
heee! That's amusing that you were caught in the power outage and then tried to check your flist!
And hi! That's lovely to hear! I totally get that, you have a number of things I've been wanting to read too. It's so hard to stay on top of things. :D
It's so hard to stay on top of things Man, yes. I was just saying to
