Celebrating Dirty Laundry’s Edits…
The first round of Dirty Laundry edits have been wrapped up and sent back. There is a pan of brownies ruminating in the oven…and are about to be pulled out. Actually, okay they’re out.
So… to celebrate DL going off into the ether… and to work myself in between a rock and a hard place, I’m going to offer up about 1000 words of Whiskey and Wry. It’ll be beneath the cut so you don’t get spoiled or have to see anything you don’t wanna.
But wooooot! EDITS! Edits that woke me up at 5 in the morning because I knew I had to do them and apparently my brain thought I needed to get the hell out of bed. Not that I’m bitter or anything. But damn, coffee! COFFEE!
Caveat, this is wholly unedited and unpolished. It’s been a back and forth with my brain. So… I can’t be held to anything I’m posting here. *grins* *Dances as fast as I can and laughs as I run away*
More Noms
I’m just going to leave these here. Let’s start the day with Kim Jaejoong, shall we? While I’m doing edits to Dirty Laundry. You know, just to keep you all company.
Have a Happy Jacob and Bruce Day.
I’ve had the extreme pleasure of meeting two men a while back. They were…and still are… a couple very much deeply in love. This weekend marks their 10 years together and honestly, it should be a time celebrated by all. Both are incredible people and I think the world is so much better a place for them having found one another.
So, please raise a glass of whatever tickles your fancy and join me in wishing two brilliant, beautiful, starry souls who have blended together to make this universe a brighter and warmer place to live.

Joyous Day, both of you. And thank you for letting us bask in your light.
Noms. Um… Research
I have a deep and abiding adoration for Song Joong Ki. He’s quirky, funny, sensual but most of all, smiles a LOT. Except when he’s playing a gigolo / con artist in The Nice Guy/The Innocent Man in which case, he’s broody and sexy.
