(no subject)

I managed to secure yesterday and today off as personal days and I'm loving it. Yesterday I spent time addressing and posting invitations to mom's 50th birthday party, and tried to pin down a DJ and a photographer. Also headed out to the hall to make the final payment. Dealing with family quibbles is the most annoying part of this whole last-minute deal. That the party is for two sisters (twins!), with their own drama between them, is not making matters easier. I'm never taking it upon myself to organize one of these ever again, particularly with such short notice.

Work is work. Ulcer-inducing and somewhat overwhelming and things aren't getting easier. Not going to talk about it.

Other than that, lots of relaxing and fannish indulgence going on. I was reading a couple of stories the other day and was just bowled over by the amazing writing. I love it. And I've been singing Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na) since Tuesday, thanks to certain parties on my FL (hilarious discovery - getting the disembodied iPod voice to speak the title aloud will induce giggles). AND! AND! Stephen Fry has been tapped to play Mycroft in the Holmes sequel. I don't care if purists frown on the RDJ/Jude Law movie, it's RDJ! and Jude Law! and now STEPHEN FRY! Come on, folks.
