Thank you, Kat, and other important messages from your sponsor.

1. [livejournal.com profile] musesfool on making recs, being recced and thinking ‘WTF, I did that where’s my love?!’. I don’t have a rec policy, I just recommend what hits me at a given time. Friend or not friend, any fandom, if something rings hard and I’m in the mood to recc, I will. I don’t rec people just because they’re my mates, or I’d do nothing else all day, and I don’t rec something just because everyone else does. It’s like the man says everybody’s free to rec – or not.

2. Live Journal to be sold? Get those six-month LJ packages now before the price goes up! (gacked from [livejournal.com profile] svmadelyn

3. Dead Like Me on the WB?

4. Pigs flying.

5. Things to write:

1. More Fireman!Ray for [livejournal.com profile] silverakira 06.01.05
2. Much delayed OC/SV for [livejournal.com profile] elynrae
3. [livejournal.com profile] yuletide unfulfilled request YAYE! 05.01.05
4. TM-verse (eventually)

This list is all well and good, except I'm having a problem. I have things to write, but I seem incapable of writing them. Like the words won't come. They are blocked. It's an awful feeling. Perhaps I am trying to do too much at one time. Too many ideas. I need to do something small. Anyone got anything inspirational they wanna fling my way? Music, pictures, improv words? Help!

6. New Lost and Alias tonight. Fear the power of JJ Abrams, bitches!


Special aside: I'm much more of a giver than a taker, and I don't always receive gifts particularly well, as some people know, but I'm always touched when people give me things of their own free will, just because they can. So, you know, [livejournal.com profile] kattiya: thank you for the lovely Xmas presents. I appreciate them greatly.

Don't have much in the way of music to offer, although I have been listening to Golden Brown by The Stranglers (http://s16.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=27B19IWRMQ01H3FQ1UE2XURKQD) rather a lot. And also Brad Pitt's unintelligible caravan request (http://s20.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=0J6MQ4YYDKHF23AVOSGAF045XF), but that's just because I'm a dork.

Gah, it is godawful. Except it happens to me all the time, and always at very inopportune moments, such as when I'm writing papers.

However, when I'm looking to do improv, I use either [livejournal.com profile] 15minuteficlets or oneword (http://www.oneword.com) to try and prod out some inspiration.

It's like you're bringing Snatch into my office. Heh.
