Whew! A whole week got away from me. I am a little behind on the Accidental Advent, but I will have time this week to catch up. ^^;;

(Sunday's belated post)

Yesterday was our annual family expedition to Eastern Market in Detroit, so my fridge is filled with vegetables. At some point shortly, all stir-fry all the time, lol. I am very excited. I didn't mean to buy as much as I did, but everything looked so good!

It's Tokyo Game Show week and as usual, I took a couple of days off for it. Honestly, the official streaming schedule is pretty anemic. There are two or three things I might watch, and one S-E stream. I'm not sure who else might have streaming presentations that I want to watch...

(but since it's my ~annual 'clean the utility room' weekend, I'll also be doing that!)

I finished my

iddyiddybangbang project and will be posting it later in the week! I took one of the amnesty dates both because I was So Busy last weekend/week and because I just wasn't done. But now I am (and I suppose if I'd not been so busy I might've finished then?) and I've also leveled up my time management and project management skills.

Yeah, mostly I'm just thrilled to have the Project done!

Title: Shopping List
Fandom: Transformers [G1]
Pairing/Characters: Starscream & Megatron
Content Notes: Decepticon humor
Prompt: September Twenty-two - 2 & 8 - grocery list

"Energon. Cabling. Chassis wiring."

"Dermaplates. Epoxy. Resin."

In unison, the pair said the next item on the list. "Optimus Prime's head on a plate."

The roar of laughter between them was frightening to the other Decepticons in the bay, but Megatron in high spirits, with Starscream in accord with him was plenty of reason to be terrified.

"This plan of yours, my traitor, just may net us that item finally," Megatron said, flicking over the rest of the pieces they had already acquired.

"Of course it will, my Lord, for it makes best advantage of their weakness."

"Indeed it does."

my hands still really hurt, so i'll try to keep this entry short.

however, i finished my fic archive! i'm really happy with how it came out. i need to tweak a few things that have errors, but other than that it's in good shape. fic writing has always been part of fandom for me but not something i've really talked about on my websites until recently, so this is a little weird for me to make, but: in a web that's increasingly narrow, i think it's important to carve out little spaces like this.

also, i like writing behind-the-scenes content for fics, so there's that.

other than that, my hands have been in terrible shape so i've been offline a lot to rest. watched several movies over the past week, of varying quality, but nothing standout. i should really start on one of those shows that's been on my to-watch list while i'm icing my hands, but i haven't gotten around to it yet.

my brother's wedding is in two weeks! i am not in the wedding (thank god) but of course i'll be going. while stressful, i think i am looking forward to it; he's the first of my siblings to have a big wedding so it'll be an experience for sure.

that's all for now. on to next week!
