We were on centre court yesterday and we did see both of the women's semi-finals. And a mixed doubles match. I'm now 160th in Fantasy Wimbledon and very tired. I've finally made it through my friends list and everyone is talking about livejournal being down. Um, I didn't notice. I mean it was playing up recently but no more than usual.

This link's from Sel: How to write a best selling fantasy novel and this one's from a few people: 20 Questions to a Better Personality in which I got:

You are an SRDF--Sober Rational Destructive Follower. This makes you a font of knowledge. You are cool, analytical, intelligent and completely unfunny. Sometimes you slice through conversation with a cutting observation that causes silence and sidelong glances. You make a strong and lasting impression on everyone you meet, the quality of which depends more on their personality than yours.

You may feel persecuted, as you can become a target for fun. Still, you are focused enough on your work and secure enough in your abilities not to worry overly.

You are productive and invaluable to those you work for. You are loyal, steadfast, and conscientious. Your grooming is impeccable. You are in good shape.

You are kind of a tool, but you get things done. You are probably a week away from snapping.

Some of which is quite worryingly true.

I'd really quite like to not be boiling hot or freezing cold. Can I please have something in between?

I have some more time wasters. These will make you laugh for a bit but you won't be spending weeks playing.

Computer Stupidities - which proves you just can't underestimate some people's stupidity

Silly Cows - in ASCII, no less

Poke the Penguin - you have to poke him quite a lot but it's worth it

Oh my God! There's an axe in my head in 102 languages (including Goa'uld, Klingon and Quenya)

Three similar ones: Evil Overlord, The Things I Will Do if I Am ever the Hero and The Things I Will Do if I Am Ever the Sidekick (press Control-A or override the page's settings to read this one)

Ice-skating Lord of the Rings style

Molecules with Silly or Unusual Names

Virtual Bubble Wrap - not quite as satisfying as the real thing but manic mode is fun

The Ultimate Build Your Own Cow Page (it doesn't work in IE though)

Area 404 A list of loads of 404 error pages. I like the paranoid one.

I was very good and sorted out my bookmarks today. Which included, shock, horror, actually deleting some! So, here follows some links to some cool games to waste your time with:

There are two games at Yahoo Games I love: Zuma (which I finally finished!) and Rocket Launcher.

Some good shockwave games: Daily Jigsaw, Diamond Mine (which is also at Yahoo Games), and House of Cards.

Yeti Sports is the home of all the flying penguin games going around. There will be ten eventually, at the moment there's only four. There's another version of the first one - Bloody Pingu.

Hamlet - The Text Adventure. There are hints to this one but it's much more fun if you just blunder about killing everyone

There aren't hints for Crimson Room but you might feel the need for them - it's practically impossible to do on your own. Leave a comment if you're stuck (although chances are you don't have everything you need).

Haven't written in this for ages! A few links:

The Things I Will Do If I Am Ever the Hero - the Starship Captain bit halfway down is very funny

The Things I Will Do If I Am Ever the Sidekick - also good

Forgotten Memories - My birthday present from Avon - Estel fic!

And since what is this blog for if it isn't to publicise my own stuff - Instruction - Farscape drabble on the subject of discipline.

I will update my website at some point. I've thought about, which is a start at least. Off to SFX (and Expo) this weekend so its fairly safe to say I won't be updating this till after then either.

Some links:

Buffy upsets TV watchdog - only in America

Legolas ice-skating - very funny

The worst website - takes ages to load and can you tell what its for? highlight (or press ctrl+a) to read (answer: a market research company)

and a quiz:

Hobbit

To which race of
Middle Earth do you belong?
brought to you by Quizilla

Uruk-Hai Unhappy with Portrayal in Films

Have booked my ticket to America, yay!

Discovered all these funny fics I'd missed on Bagenders because I hadn't discovered LOTR slash the last time I looked.

Have no hot water in the house, but at least have water and heating. Will have to get up early to boil water to wash with though.

Have been re-reading TTT VSD's, hence style of today's entry.

The William Shatner Acting Simulator is so funny. You click on buttons to get him to say random words (complete with silly actions) and it makes a sentence the same way the real one does! That picture of Aragorn from my last post is a very nice one. Can't write much because I keep looking at it, and also because I'm cold. Might have to go to bed to watch something.

Farscape - they're not dead, I tell you! Denial is not just a river in Africa - not least because they had plans for a fifth series and didn't get any time to change the last episode. So there.
