Viro-pocalypse versus Ash-pocalypse

Guys, something is up at the vaccine labs - we have no hepatitis A vaccine, and now no Fluvax. Viro-pocalypse is looming. And amusing in that fortunately/unfortunately way: we can't supply the vaccines for your holiday, but luckily there's so much ash in the sky, your holiday has been cancelled. (This is not actually very amusing. I know, I've tried it out on a few people.)

My happy picture for the time being: Parrot bathing in a tea-cup! This is one happy bird. It makes me smile every time I look at it.

Local win and fail:
Win: the shire council revamped our streetscape and planted lots of trees!
Fail: the trees are now full of wasps! And they also drop poisonous fruit! Although, to be fair, the shire says the fruit is only poisonous to children and the elderly. And little dogs.

*sigh* I am a bit scared of wasps. They look so much angrier than bees.

Considering Dreamwidth?
coffeeandink has this: How to Move from LJ to Dreamwidth in Six Easy Steps.

ETA: Adding this massive, awesome post by stepps: What to do with Dreamwidth: a list of tutorials and information.

I have five codes, if you'd like one. You have but to ask!

I have finally watched Fringe S1! It was so good! I have to make a post about it, because it took me a while to get over the bad science, but I love, love, love how the season finished up. (I can overlook bad science, but this was OMG-bad science. Beyond bad, so bad it was almost amazing.)

But in the meantime, I'm still working on my au_bigbang 2nd draft. This fic! It will not be done. I like it a lot, but it's permeating my brain. Last night I dreamed it was a Phantom of the Opera crossover. I don't even know.

*shifty eyes* I, uh, don't suppose anyone would be interested in betaing? Or even Ameri-picking? If I ever get it done... *does an enticing dance*
