Some Good, Some not so.

[erastes]

Well i’m definitely losing weight. It’s slow and the only person who will notice the difference is me but it’s coming off. My trousers are a little loser and i’m finding moving around a little easier. This is what happens after 3 months of regular meals, no junk and less alcohol. hurrah.

Sadly Waterstones in Piccadilly have turned down our request to do a booksigning. That’s disappointing as I know we would have had a good few people interested in attending, and I know the shop floor staff were all for it. Perhaps others can email them and ask that they hold a gay historical signing!? :D

I have signed up for the Lord of the Rings online beta. I’m unlikely to get picked, as I never do get picked for these things-but fingers crossed! And talking of online games – is anyone playing Myst online?  Does anyone understand it?  Sheesh!!!  I remember the original game—difficult and out of the box, but I really don’t get this one. I’ve even got the walkthrough and it’s indecipherable.

And Deus Ex 3 is coming to the PS3!!! This makes me hugely happy.

Although new project is moving along nicely, I’ve been very bad and have been ignoring the Tidy needed for Muffled Drum. Tomorrow and Saturday are my weekend, so I’ll definitely get that done and submitted to the publisher by Monday.

How’s things with you lot? I know I rarely comment on anyone’s LJ these days (mainly because there’s no internet access at Dad’s, the Dongle was a complete waste of money) but I make sure I have my flist open on the laptop before i set off, so I do READ everyone, even if i don’t comment. Happy birthday sionnan (late) and today erotic james!

Thank you!! :D And I do the same thing with reading/commenting, I'm right with you on that one. :D

*dances with glee*

Thank you!

I've been good! Feeling better, glad to be back at work, actually writing and working on my big bangs. And I totally understand about not commenting. Sometimes my flist is just so big I forget to comment because I am trying to read everything. It's ok. *hugs*

[erastes.livejournal.com]

my list is getting a bit big, it's true, but it's still good to keep up with up with everyone's news. Good to hear you are back and writing!

I do the opposite to you - I comment lots and forget to post!

Sorry to hear the dongle wasn't worth it. Can you grumble at whoever it came from and try to get some money back?

Hurrah for losing weight though! Slowly is the best way - I'm trying to do the same thing (work at it by getting into the habit of regular meals and other little improvements) but my finger still goes in too much when I poke my side!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

i wouldn't dare try that with the finger, i'd lose an arm. :D

I'm hoping that eventually the network will improve - and that i'll be able to get online more often, but I'll see if i can find some technical help and ask why the mobile network is not larger - all i get is "local network only" which is ENTIRELY useless. And damnit i need to research!

Awwww! You can has magma dragon! *cries with frustrated want*
Congrats!

[erastes.livejournal.com]

i have a spare magma egg - but don't know how to transfer it - if you know the process, let me know and i'll try and pass it on.

[kennahijja.livejournal.com]

Omg, I'd love it and I know how to trade, but wouldn't you rather raise this egg, seeing that you only have one so far? And perhaps try and breed one for me once you've got all you want?

So far, it's the only nonholiday dragon I can't seem to catch (and no summoning either therefore), but I can most certainly wait :).

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Summoning? What's that?

[kennahijja.livejournal.com]

I'm told that if you have one (or two, I'm not sure) of each the Magma, Thunder and Ice dragons, you get a 'summon' option under 'actions, and if you're lucky, they'll get you an egg of a new breed. Can't verify, 'cause... no Magma :).

Congratulations on the weight losing! I could do with some of that, but I really hate cooking, so I can't imagine doing proper meals more than once a day.

[erastes.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm not cooking either, really. I have a slice of toast and some coffee with Dad five days a week (mainly to make sure he gets some sugar (marmalade) in him and then I buy stuff for lunches like those fresh soups, or I make a fritata or a spicy rice one pot stir everything in or a salad. I don't like cooking much either, so anything quick and easy is good. Then I get something to munch in the evening, like a piece of chicken or a sandwich. Nothing very exciting! :D

Congratulations on the weight loss! Chum #1 and I need to lose weight as well (and so does Collie #1 for that matter) so we'll be striding out at a faster pace for the dog walking. ::sigh:: I like meandering. :-(

I also tend to read more/ comment less; but I'm trying to improve that by posting a bit more (and trying to post interesting things as well, which I find more difficult.)
