I love Castle, and Alexis is one of my favorites on the show. Interview with Molly Quinn

This super adorable picture came up on my facebook this morning: a combat medic holds two puppies he found at an observation post in Afghanistan. ( Puppy Carry )

Fic Rec: Neurotic and Sociopathic in Space by DeliriousEphemera (on fictionpress)
Summary: So your hot math teacher has a spaceship hidden in his basement. Oh, and he's a wanted criminal and you ended getting kidnapped by aliens. A little freaking out might be in order. Unless you're Jakob. Then it's the best thing that ever happened to you.
There are a lot of typos and SPAG type errors in this, but I like the snark? Also, it's completed, so that's a plus.

Seriously, not being able to keep up with my flist makes me SO FUCKING SAD! I have got to get back on a decent schedule. Yall keep your fingers crossed for me that one of these other jobs work out for me. Lack of LJ time is not good for my mental health! I went back like three days or so, but I don't remember if I've actually been able to read my flist for the last week or so, except for whatever day the Weekend at Pete Rose's video was posted, b/c I'm pretty sure I read my flist that day. Anywho, if I missed something that you think I shouldn't have missed, please link me?

Here are a few links that none of yall probably care about, but I'm sharing anyway.

Love, Coffee, and a Giant Problem by aggybird
Original Fic || WiP || PG || ~10,000 words (this section)
Summary: Jack English is a down-on-his-luck recent college grad with a business degree and an ailing mother to take care of. They live in the less desirable part of town, barely making ends meet. Desperate for a paycheck, Jack takes a job at a local coffee shop after he runs into the owner (literally) on his way to a job interview on Market Street. Mr. Spriggins is a crazy old man with a mad affinity for experimenting with different flavors of coffee. When a new shipment of highly desirable (some might say magical) coffee beans arrive, it draws in large crowds, including cynical corporate giant Benjamin Jacobs, descending from the top floor of his steel and glass tower to see what all the fuss is about. Jack begins to wish the handsome executive would fall for him -- but how can a simple guy like Jack bring down a handsome giant like Ben? Especially after a horrible misunderstanding involving Ben's prized possession threatens to sour Jack's chances at love.

Bandom Height Chart (which will totally be linked in my Resource Post once I finish with it. ugh, you'd think with all this insomnia I'd actual get something done, but obviously not!)

I LOVE THE USED! Yes, okay, I realize that's not a link, or news, but I felt like it needed to be said. They've got a new album out, you know.

Um, what else? Fire season in California. I hope all yall are doing okay. It's a scary thought. I guess one good thing about my baby brother being away at boot camp is that I don't have to worry about him being out there fighting forest fires. Is that selfish? Probably.

Okay, I'm gonna go try to sleep for a bit. We'll see how the dreams treat me. (Although, the one I had the other night that involved, like, trying to break out of a secret military facility and stealing a jeep and arguing with Brandon over the CD in the CD player was kinda amusing, even if it still left me freaking out when I woke up.)

I'm looking forward to another boring week at work, so feel free to leave me more drabble prompts. Fandom/character/pairing + 3 random prompt words. <3

Drabbles!!

First off, I seem to constantly fail when it comes to swedish15. He asked me for Criminal Minds drabble (Spencer Reid, molecular biology, nothing even remotely resembling a paring), and I've been trying my damnedest to write that, but since I know nothing about molecular biology, I can't do it. Although my favoritest labelf, irisgirl12000, may be able to do something with that...

Last week, when I was internetless, I txtd my Fave Five and asked them for prompts and ltlredhairdgirl shared the offer with her flist. lilian_cho sent me a prompt that was City of Hereos, and I didn't know if she meant the show Hereos (which I don't watch) or just the phrase. So, 100 words for my very first beta:

( City of Hereos )

football_girl likes to give me schmoopy prompts, but this one didn't turn out the way she expected, I'm sure. She asked for: Remus/Sirius, chocolate body paint, pink socks, fluffy towels. 200 words for you, love:

( Remus thought (hoped) Sirius, the once Master of Mischief, would get a laugh out of that. )

ltlredhairdgirl gave me two prompts. The first was wee!winchesters playing Hardy Boys, but I'm not really familiar with the Hardy Boys so I can't write that. I told her I could write "wee!winchesters pretend to be Boxcar Children", but she's not familiar with The Boxcar Children, so we both lose. The second prompt, however, was Boston (the band or the city), fuzzy, quarters. I don't remember if it was more specific than that, but this is what she gets. 150 words.

( Sam was pissed off for being singled out and for Dad thinking he needed a babysitter, and Dean was pissed off about having to be said babysitter. )
