What have you done this week that you're proud of?

Threads, ooms, posts, baked goods, world domination (WHY WASN'T I INVITED HRM?!), art, interpretive dance...you name it, if you're proud of it, show us so that we can marvel at your awesomeness.

Please send interpretive dance with video links, naturally...

I finished my first-ever OOMs! One is shorter, but the second is over 1300 words, yo. And it's not the shitty text dump it started out as! I feel very proud of myself.

Post in the Bar is here (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/20386854.html).

Also, I got my mom to bake me a portal cake for my birthday. Haven't uploaded photos yet.

[moofoot.livejournal.com]

Mmm, cake.

And those OOMs are GREAT! You should feel proud.

[kotorjedi-amaya.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much!

[calluna]

Starting up a new game totally counts, right? RIGHT?

di_namaste! YOU KNOW YOU WANT TO JOIN. *uses Jedi mind trick on the lot of you* (Seriously, though, go take a peek at it. :D)

Also, buongiornodaisy would like to share that she made "a great cup o coffee".

Aaaaaand I am very proud of my knowledge of random facts. *has been watching Game Show Network all day*

YAY FOR NEW GAMES AND COFFEE AND TRIVIA~

[moofoot.livejournal.com]

Right!

Ooh. Took a peek. Must find job first. Then I shall consider.

I WANT COFFEE NOT FAIR.

I went grocery shopping and adequately stocked the fridge in my new apartment. It may not sound like much, but since it's taken me a few days to unpack and settle in, it feels like a lot to me!

[moofoot.livejournal.com]

Hey, that's better than my fridge looks! Rock on.

Nash managed to get a kiss from a lady that's not Mia! I'm so proud! (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/20379860.html?thread=873524180#t873524180)

I did a lot of cooking, leaving my family with enough homemade cran-apple granola and rice pudding to last a week. Though my fish gelatin thingy turned out being not so good as we discovered the hard way that Nerds keep Jell-O from setting, so stir them in after!

I also watched my very first Bollywood movie, which I thoroughly enjoyed, and survived a week with the three year old class at work without shaking their bloody brains out, so I rewarded myself with booze.

Nerds keep Jello from setting.

...thank you for that, now I have an urge to make Jello and throw in Nerds to just watch it fail to set. XD

And yay booze and kisses!!

[notmagicweapon.livejournal.com]

I gotta warn ya, it makes things way slimier and ickier. Like, even for Jello. What was once going to be a lovely blue gelatin aquarium with gummy fish and Nerds serving as decorative pebbles turned into a murky mess more suitable to represent "freshwater" Lake Conway, leaving Dad the only person courageous enough to shovel the goo into his iron stomach.

[moofoot.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'll just experiment on a small portion of the Jello.

And take photos.

[gorgonfondness]

Addendum to the above: while this did technically happen on Monday, it's so awesome it has to be shared and I did know about it on Sunday.

My friend had a baby! I'm an Auntie now! XD

[scurlock]

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

[sardonicynic]

Three words: PROJECT. OF. DOOM.

It's ovah, bay-bee.

*GLEES*

And, in Milliways news, love to everyone who tagged in to Ben's EP last night. I laughed. And laughed. And laughed.

[moofoot.livejournal.com]

WE DON'T NEED NO PROJECT OF DOOOOOOOoooooOooOooM
WE DON'T NEED NO THOUGHT CONTROL


Ahem.

Bwahaha, Ben's EP was a riot, seriously.

[ostro_goth]

Almost no threads -- I was gone for a holiday! But I have seen a dead Goth in RL!

[moofoot.livejournal.com]

Such lovely photos! And yes those are definitely bones!

[ostro_goth]

They're only two of very many -- even if I pick and choose very strictly, I'll end up with a rather large picture post eventually.

But the trip was a complete success, as far as following in the footsteps of canon is concerned -- I did see a dead Goth in Ravenna, and got a good idea of Roman Verona. That's a place which Teja, historically, mus have known very well -- it's the first thing we hear about him in Procopius, that he fortified the way south around Verona, because Narses, trying to drive the Goths southwards into the heel and tip of the Italian 'boot', had to come that way.

Billy managed to anger Atton, then kiss Xaldin (read it III writes good guh), then make up with Atton and worry about Will, Kate, and Doc. And get fussed at by a gorgon!

There was also an OOM.

I will collect links when I am less loopy!

This week, and partly last week because I neglected to self-pimp at the time:

* Andrew and Ava continue to be cute and geeky and DOOMED. Meanwhile, Andrew meets Barbara Gordon, and there is conversation punctuated by AUGH CREEPY AUGH.

* Lots of people tell Simon to eat his dumplings before they get cold, including two or three total strangers. Simon gets increasingly irritated; I get increasingly amused.

* This has only just started as of last night, but Simon and Mal are watching The Maltese Falcon. This can't end well.

* I'm also really kind of proud of this OOM last week with Simon, Kaylee, and a little scrimshaw turtle.

* And this has just been fun: Charlie McGee gets to say hi again to Captain Jack Sparrow.

I told myself and told myself that I was not going to RP anyone from Burn Notice, but I totally caved.

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

OMG halp I saw Hellboy and Liz and HB are so cute and Abe is Niles Crane and this utterly breaks my brain halp.

[wakeupnew]

AREN'T THEY? Now you need to see the second one, in which Abe is not Niles Crane. It will help your brain. :D

[nitro-is-ace.livejournal.com]

I will, as soon as it comes out. Which is unfindable by me on the internets. But Iron Man comes out in a month yay!

[wakeupnew]

It may still be in theaters in some places? I'm not sure that they've set a DVD release date yet. (YAY IRON MAN.)

Alyx has a nightmare and is comforted by Gordon.

If anyone's ever wondered why I don't write dark moody stuff more often, now you know. This is what the inside of my head looks like all the time.

[scurlock]

I loved this. A lot. So, so much.

Sabriel finally runs into Yrael (http://community.livejournal.com/milliways_bar/20387996.html?thread=874286236#t874286236)

And shockingly, nobody dies!

[saphyria.livejournal.com]

And nobody is imprisoned!

^_^

I am extremely happy with some SURPRISE!Plot that only came about because I invited a tag from someone I've never played with before (*snugs Toaster*) and because I tagged someone I'd never tagged before (*snugs Cat*).

Sunday before last, Bela and Cal Chandler hit it off. The same night, Toaster said he wanted to tag Bela with Cerberus. I chirped, "DO IT!" even though I had not thought through the fact that Cerberus is, oh, you know, a hellhound, like the kind that will drag Bela to hell in a couple of years! So they had a terrifying thread. *cheerfuls!*

Bela, not being one to be cowed easily, had an OOM in which a plan was made for her to safely return to the bar.

She does, and X tries to help with demon battling strategy from her world, Ava pokes at possible weaknesses, Cal distracts her (successfully) and bargains are made, Buffy commiserates, and a showdown occurs. Luckily, Epimetheus steps in and reminds Cerberus that people are not fair game here, even if they run from his gaping maws. Bela pretty much collapses within her protective circle until Cal returns downstairs in the morning and sees her safely through the front door.

When Bela returns a few days later, she is on the verge of shattering. Not so much because of the hellhound experience (although she and Cerberus have a brief exchange) as her conflicted emotions about wanting to see Cal again. They talk, and he keeps her from falling apart in fabulous, "go upstairs and fade to black" kind of way.

The moral of the story: tag new people. They can bring you the funnest surprise plot evar. I am looking forward to seeing how this progresses.
