Almost through with FS season one...

with my latest converted friend. No deep thoughts here, since I have work to do for uni, but I just felt like stating again how much I love season one and the way it sets up the universe and the characters. It's a marvellous first season, laying a very solid groundwork for the whole series. Also, I noticed for the first time just how much Rygel gets to do in the first season. We watched 'The Flax', 'Rhapsody in Blue', 'Jeremiah Crichton' and 'Durka Returns', and he's playing an immportant role in three of those four eps.

In other news: I now know a bit more precisely when I will leave for England, and it's earlier than I thought, which means the next weeks will be more of a rush than I expected. Frell.

I also got an offer for a job at an excavation yesterday, but I think I blew it by telling them I only had five weeks. I think they wanted someone for at least six weeks. Frell, again. Now all my hopes are pinned to Bremen - they sounded quite eager to employ me. Wish me luck - I really need a job this summer.

Gotta go back to my work about early bronze age daggers now. Hmpf out.

I have a rather inconvenient urge to ramble here about...

writing, painfully good fan fiction, my priorities and other related issues, but the frelling bronze age daggers won't let me.

So, instead, here's simply a link to the latest example of painfully good fan fiction that I've found:

'Thing', by Cimorene and Wax Jism. Warning: slash (R/S, cause I admit unashamedly to having become a puppyshipper): http://www.waxjism.net/pickle/stories/thing.html

(Edited to add: Just took a look at the website this story is hosted at and must confess to my total non-understanding of many slashers' fascination with boy bands and other Pretty Young Men. Not to mention the need to *slash* them. Yuck. Oh well, the story I just recced is still great.)

Errrrrr.....

I just noticed that postings I made before September 2002 are terribly difficult to access - the calendar only goes back to January 2003, and the 'previous 10 entries' feature goes back to September. Is it possible to change that without getting a paid account? Or, alternatively, is there at least a way I could download all my frelling entries since I started this journal to my own computer, in order to have archive them myself? I'm not using a LJ client 'cause my computer is having issues with it - I'm using the posting interface - but if there is any way to save my older entries, I'd really like to know.
