Holding Pattern

The weekend is near as well as FemslashCon. I believe we'll have some good sized updates for you all this weekend. After we update Saturday we pick up the boys and Tamara's mom for our summer to begin. Tomorrow marks my last day in office for a week, hence gonna be a busy one.

Vacation is on the horizon. I like that. Enjoy your update and get ready.

Peace, Health and Happiness.

Football

Usual bits first. Tomorrow is Bastille day so we wish our French readers (and those of French ancestry who celebrate) a good one. Friday is Asalha Puja so a blessed one to our Theravada Buddhist readers.

There's a fair bit to read this evening - if your fandom is Grey's or Glee. Other than that the pickings are a trifle slim I'm afraid. I think E's right - people are holding back until this coming weekend's Femslash Con and International Day of Femslash.

Congrats to the US & Japan women's football teams for making it through to the World Cup final. Any chance that US Americans will now learn to call it by its proper name?? The name used by three-quarters of the world (though the Italians are awkward about it too, they call it calcio - "kick"). Oh and that goes for you Aussies too!! It's football. Not soccer - football. Say it with me... foot...ball... football. See, easy.

Soccer is just a nickname - from British public school slang (public school here is expensive, generally exclusive, private school - not state school). It comes from the name Association Football. Just as rugger was the nickname for Rugby Football.

I know you already use the name football for a different game (we used to call that Gridiron) - one in which you have an egg shape rather than a ball and use your hands rather than your feet - and I know that handegg doesn't sound half as much fun as football but still... .

Of course there's Aussie Rules Football (Carlton!! Yeah!!) and Gaelic Football (Waterford, naturally!!) too. But at least they do kick the ball a bit more.

Mind you - there's even such games as the Kirkwall Ba. Football before there was an offside rule... That type of football is where the name calcio originates of course.

Keep practising - football. I'll be testing you next week *g*

Enjoy your updates, goodnight and may your God/s go with you.

Hype (as E would say)

But first - a quick note. There was an update to the site yesterday. I have no idea why there wasn't an email to list members. Don't know if Tamara was so overjoyed at being back home with E that she forgot to post it, or if Yahoo screwed up again. Either way, by the time I got home and realised there was no post it was time to do my update and so not worth posting yesterday's. If you are on the yahoo mailing list and didn't get an update - just pop over to the webpage to see what yesterday's update was.

And now for tonight's updates - and ramble/hype/free book drawing from Rev over at Cocktail Hour.

This past Saturday afternoon, I had a gushing fan-girl episode. I couldn't help it, really. Jae agreed to be a guest on Cocktail Hour and I could barely keep myself together. If you're a fan of Jae's work and you haven't heard the podcast yet, I'd recommend it. Even if it weren't me rambling on about how great she is, I'd still recommend it. Andy barely got a chance to speak.

But here's another reason to listen: Jae has graciously agreed to a book give away. All you have to do is correctly answer one or two trivia questions taken from her books and hope I pick your name in the drawing. All the information you need to enter is located on the Cocktail Hour website and in the show notes on the podcast if you get your downloads via iTunes. Please don't post answers on the website or on our Facebook page. Only emailed answers will be accepted and the email address is on the website in the post for episode 21.

Jae will also be a panelist on the publishing (or maybe it's publishers?) panel at the 2011 Femslash Con! You can find more info about that at www.femslashcon.com! Oh! And if you're interested in the con, check out our Bar Rag # 14.

I hope you enjoy the show and best of luck on the drawing!

The Happy Puppy

Today Tamara and I once again played it easy. Few chores mixed with lots of down time. Works great for me as I head back to work tomorrow.

Warning...we have a distinct feeling that a few of our sites and writers are holding back for the big Femslash Con on July 16th and 17th. With that in mind we will update as usual, but if there is a mass amount we may break it up over a few days.

Now back to your updates, enjoy!

Peace Health and Happiness.

Our Dangerous Lifestyle

E and I are still all by ourselves. Today we did a few chores off the list. We made a trip to my school to check on the critters. The aquatic frogs now have fresh water. The fish and toads are all fed.

We still need to make a grocery store run. My cleaning of the refrigerator resulted in some pitched lettuce. Other than that our evening will hold the excitement of watching a few more episodes of The Closer.

Have at it!

Home

I made it back to Seattle yesterday. My day started in Oklahoma with a 5 am wake up (7 am flight). Due to time differences my plane landed at Sea/Tac by 10:00 am. Wacky. Needless to say I went to bed mighty early.

Today I'm being treated to rain and temperatures in the high 50s. This is in contrast to blazing sun and 100+ temps in Oklahoma. You'd think I'd be freezing my butt off but I'm sitting here typing this in jeans and a t-shirt. E, on the other hand, is all wrapped up in a hoodie. Hopefully the weather will move back into summertime temps before mom and the boys arrive in a little over a week.

It Rained. *does happy dance*

Started about 6pm and is still going. Thank God. We desperately need it. The ground is dust-dry for at least a spit. It cooled the air a bit. It was so close & muggy, which was not improving my mood at all. Now everything feels clean and fresh, and I'm much more chipper.

Got a cup of (instant) coffee lunchtime. An old boy, from one of the cottages nearby to where we're doing our slash-and-hack site clearance, brought out a tea-tray with coffee for us. Nice of him. He asked if we had time to do him a little favour. Muggins here said yes.

The favour turned out to be a continuation of the slash-and-hack. He had some brambles and ivy growing into his garden from the site and he wondered if I could clear them for him since I had the proper tools. (A machete, a bill-hook, and a sickle).

Those bloody brambles were taller than me!! In fact, when I'd hacked some of them down I could stand in under the rest as though they were a little hut!! And have I ever mentioned how much I hate ivy?? Bloody stuff gets roots everywhere.

It wasn't too bad though, took me about three-quarters of an hour to cut the lot down and shift the rubbish. I wasn't about to offer to dig the roots out though. I'd still be doing it a week come Michaelmas!!

I got a little gift for my trouble. They had a fruit garden with lots of gooseberry bushes and he picked me a couple of kilos while I was working. So now I have enough gooseberries for a good-sized crumble - if I can persuade somebody to make one for me. *g*. I haven't had gooseberry crumble for years.

Well, that's me done for another week. Have a good one folks. Goodnight and may your God/s go with you.

Quiet Week.

Not a lot to say tonight.

I'm knackered. Did a 13-hour day at work today, got a 12 hour day tomorrow.

I've had a fairly uneventful week (touch wood). Managed to cut the grass without incident at the weekend. Did a bit of work on the allotment, similarly without incident. Haven't cut myself, broken any bones, rendered myself unconscious, or indeed injured myself, or anyone around me, in any way.

I haven't destroyed any equipment. Nor any greenhouses. Haven't ripped any clothing.

I did drop a saucer this evening though, while washing up after dinner.

I thought I'd put it on the draining-board properly but I hadn't; it slipped off and hit the floor. It shattered of course. Earthenware saucers don't tend to survive impacts with quarry-tile floors. But even that wasn't any great loss as it was only an odd one I used for bits of cake or the odd biscuit or two, and not part of a set.

Enjoy your updates - I'll try to be a bit more chatty tomorrow.

The Evolution of "Calzona" with BurningEden and Milk_and_Glass

www.blogtalkradio.com/allaine/2011/07/08/the-evolution-of-calzona-with-burningeden-milkandglass


I have said that the summer of 2011 will be a season of "experimentation" for F4F Radio. Now that we're in our third year, I want to take a few hesitant steps in different directions to see what flies and what falls flat. In tonight's segment, we will not be discussing fan fiction per se, nor will we be discussing a brand-new fandom. Instead F4F will backtrack to the summer of 2009 and one of the first interviews ever held here. Thanks to the canon, but all-too-brief lesbian romance between Callie Torres and Erica Hahn on ABC's "Grey's Anatomy", the femslash fandom for that show had grown from "big" to "huge". So one night I invited the authors Milk_and_Glass and BurningEden onto my show to discuss GA, as well as Shonda Rhimes' other medical drama, "Private Practice". That interview became the most downloaded show in F4F history. Tonight F4F returns to the scene of the crime to talk to Milk_and_Glass and BurningEden once more. This time, however, instead of an interview I'm inviting them back to have a discussion about "Grey's" and the two years since our original talk. We'll discuss the evolution of the Callie/Arizona ("Calzona") pairing, culminating in a wedding late last season, as well as any noncanon relationships that have caught people's attention. We'll also talk once more about Callie/Erica, that pairing's viability in the fandom today, and if Calzona has taken its place in my guests' hearts.

Sincerely, Allaine

Thanks for the words. Hopefully you USA folks had a safe and fun 4th and the rest of you enjoyed the day! Have a great week.

Peace, Health and Happiness.

If you like superhero movies, go see Green Lantern. It was fun.

Now have at it.

A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

A lovely mid 70's day here in Shoreline. And having updates from Tamara reminds me of how much I love where I live. I could be happy with my gray rain filled days with the sporadic splashes of sunshine. I know for a fact Oklahoma's hundreds are not where I want to be.

Kiddo and I had a good day doing some chores with laziness in between.

Now finish this up and go watch a movie with her while slugging out on the couch.

Here is hoping you all are enjoying your weekend as well.

Peace, Health and Happiness.

Hot

The boys and I have been having a relaxing time in Oklahoma. Yes, it's been hot but I was pleased to discover I haven't lost my tolerance. Today we visited the Oklahoma History Center. It was really nice although the kids were bored.

We don't have much else planned for my time here beyond seeing Green Lantern, shooting some fireworks on the 4th, and swimming.

Enough from me...I'll let you get to the update.
