But don't drink while you read.
Season's greetings to everyone. :)

Hello everyone.
Do you remember the OWL cup? I have a few stories/drabbles I never posted anywhere else. Someone's asked me a while ago if they could post my German version of the fairy tales and I promised them to do it myself. So I finally got around to gathering the tiny chapters into a more comfortable chunk and posted the first chappie of the tale both in English and German on ff.net, and in English on TPP.
There'll be a few more, the bestial goat stories among them, and then that writery stuff will hopefully be tied up neatly.
I hope everyone is more or less ok, I checked in after all these storms but saw that everyone I know seems to be fine.
I'm still fluctuating between closing everything down and starting to post in earnest again - which is unreasonable and merely a sign of me being pretty much burned out. When being reasonable, I think I'll leave this open to keep in touch from time to time.

Hello, are you still here?
I don't know where the time went. I'm still buried in work and private stuff and still commuting - fandom still is too much for me, but I found an lj app for the ipad, so I'll try to at least catch up a bit about what's going on with all of you. In all honesty, I should shut down this site - but then, maybe not.

That said: the main reason for this post is to make one last self-pimp: A Most Important Element in Water, my seemingly endless WIP, is finally finished and posted on Ashwinder and ff.net. Some of you may remember... :) No more writing after that.

Happy Belated Birthday to my first ever lj friend _vocalion_.

According to Flora's Dial the flower for May 26 is the Phlox.



The PFAF database has a lot to say about the Phlox.

Happy Belated Birthday to apisa_b and septentrion.

According to Flora's Dial the flower for May 14 is the Sumach.






The PFAF database has a lot to say about the Sumach. And I can add that alcoholic extracts from the leaves of Rhus typhina have insecticidal properties, too.

I'm so sorry for being late.

Happy Belated Birthday to sarabina.

According to Flora's Dial the flower for May 12 is the Star of Bethlehem.



The PFAF database has a lot to say about the Star of Bethlehem. I think other Ornithogalum species go under that common name as well, so it would be interesting to look them up as well.

I'm so sorry for being late.

Happy Belated Birthday to brandi1498.

According to Flora's Dial the flower for May 10 is the Red Poppy.


The PFAF database has a lot to say about the poppy.

I'm briefly emerging from that work and rl stuff heap that's drowning me to pimp Jen's very cool Goblin humiliator: http://jjdebenedictis.blogspot.com/2011/05/introducing-goblins-humiliator.html

If I'll ever recover from the drowning, I'll sure get one. I'd love to play with the script. Wouldn't a Snape (insert fandom character of choice) humiliator be cool, too?

Jen, for some reason I couldn't comment on your blog, so I do it here. I love it, it's great.

I didn't even get here in time for my beta-of-dreams. I'm so sorry for being late.

Happy Belated Birthday to melusin_79.

According to Flora's Dial the flower for May 8 is the Almond Tree.
