Post the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous.

Titles are usually the last thing I give fics so most of these are basically descriptive/random/inexplicable but not that interesting )

Life continues to be fine. I continue to spend too much money that I should be saving, fail at writing motivation (and indeed motivation for anything), watch too much TV and go to Pets At Home once a week to spend fifteen minutes talking to the rats and thinking wistfully what I'd name them if I knew I'd be in any place to look after them forhowevermanyyears. Sigh. I did almost adopt a dwarf hamster named Milo today but I have no idea where my hamster cage is.

(I may yet look for it and go back. He was adorable and his last owner didn't want him. Sadface for tiny unwanted hamsters.)

...That's pretty much it. I'm not so much with the interesting right now. Oh [livejournal.com profile] jesse_kips! I'm planning to head to Manchester in the evening of Tuesday March 1st to see Jasper Fforde talk in Waterstone's (assuming I can still get a ticket! I need to call them). Don't know if you could make it but Jasper's awesome (I can't remember if I recced you his books? You totally should read them; it's like crime and literature and humour and you will love them) and worth going to see if you can make it. I'll be getting in about 5:30pm anyway, so let me know if it's doable for a meet-up. :D

...Yeah, that's pretty much it. As you were, y'all.

I interviewed this guy about his poetry a year ago, for the university newspaper. He also asked me out for coffee but I kept missing his calls and eventually it never happened.

Small world. I guess I should pimp his poetry book in way of an apology and recommend keeping an eye out for that first novel, A Pain to Love. He explained the entire plot to me and it sounded pretty funny.

Speaking of book-related surprises, how did I not know there was a new Jasper Fforde out? Who *cough*namedrop*cough* I also met and is lovely. I can imagine him getting on spiffily with Neil Gaiman and Pterry. Haven't read the book yet but I'm sure it's marvellous so go forth and buy.

And since this is a post of pimpage with a Fforde mention, in conclusion: eat more toast.

edit: Wow, that was some truly sucky HTML there. Sigh.
