amalthia: (CareBears Good Luck)
Here's the situation over New Years weekend our garbage disposal broke and stopped draining and well we were stuck having to use the other side of the sink and we could not use our dishwasher. So today on my husband's flexday he set about fixing the problem which in our household usually means throwing away the offending broken hardware and replacing it with either new hardware or something completely different. Well he replaced it with pipes (no new garbage disposal) really I'd rather spend 300 bucks on a new ebook reader or a new laptop. (I actually probably need a new laptop more)

So the long and short is our sink is still broken but I feel lucky that my husband went back to Lowe's 4 times today trying to get the right parts, he used Gorilla Glue and and all sorts of methods to get our sink working like a real sink again and though the pipe leaked after all our work getting them to fit, he did not give up. He said he'll try again tomorrow. Um me, I may be able to fix computers but I swear my brain turns off when I see pipes so I'm glad he's here and trying to fix the sink with duct tape, 3 dollar pipes, and gorilla glue.

Here's hoping we get it working tomorrow. :)

Star Trek Reboot

Graduate Vulcan for Fun and Profit by lazulisong (Gen) INSTANT REC!!! I loved the imagery, the details, the alternating povs and how the story developed Jim's friendship with his Vulcan teacher. Also the OC was really awesome!


Bloom and Grow by thistlerose (Kirk/McCoy) I LOVED Joanna's pov and each of the ways she grows as a character. Wonderful storytelling.


Supernatural

Thursday's Child by strangeandcharm (Castiel/Dean) INSTANT REC!!! This story blew me it out of the ballpark. I loved the AU aspect of what actually could have happened in the AU future of "The End" I could not put this story down once I started. The writing was fast paced and the characters compelling. I loved the world building.


Merlin Vid Rec

The Crown of the Summer Court trailer by nerjav (vid:recs:merlin) This was very well made. I loved the song choice and I thought it did a great job selling the story. :)
