The "L" in LJ stands for Loki

Darned LJ, I wanted to post last night and the site was so down that the domain name didn't even seem to exist.

Oh well! Two related, non-health things:

Oh darned WIP fics! avocado_love wrote two Avengers fics and they're both WIP and they're both eating my brain because they're so good and I want to know MORE MORE MORE but there's no more to read yet.

That did get me back into fic-reading though -- I just wish I could find something as good.

Speaking of reading, I'm never going to hit 50 books this year. I haven't even started the second one for the year yet! Blah. My mother is flying home on Sunday, then I'll have reading time/privacy?/space/mindset back.

Speaking of reading and Avengers: there's a Loki comic book! And based on the reviews it looks good! I need to get my hands on a copy. I've not been in a comic book store in ages, should be a fun visit.

I only set myself a target of 26 books per year. I'm on book three now, so pretty much on target.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

That sounds like a much more reasonable target for the year. Good luck!

I've been sucked into the Avenger's fandom like nothing else, and my job sucks so I've been loading fanfic onto my kindle on the sly. Long story short: I'll probably have a fanfic rec list up over the next few days.

I've also been getting into m/m books recently, and I've found some good ones. Let me know if that's your thing and I can sharesies. :D

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Oooh, yay to both! It's been a long time since I last read a good M/M book. Tons of not so good ones, but no good ones in years.

[avocado-love.livejournal.com]

Groovy! I have a couple in mind I could lend you. Do you take kindle files?

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Yep! Kindle is perfect.

Thanks! :D

How are you feeling? Do you have any energy?

Love, C.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

I feel like my energy is going backwards (though I'm likely wrong). I'm feeling mostly better (just a little pain now and then), but I get tired way too easily.

How's the arm?

We should form some kind of walking wounded club.

[al-zorra.livejournal.com]

O man, walking wounded, that is a big club too! Irk.

I'm healing I think. The muscles in my fingers, wrist and arm connected to the broken bone hut all the time because I use them all the time, and further, exercise them A LOT! And I'm not taking meds because they are counter-productive in so many ways, at least for this situation. But I have re-acquired a greater range of motion and ability. Still not able to do some things, like cutting thick, hard things like acorn squashes, or a corkscrew to open a bottle of wine, life and heft heavy things.

I am assuming I'll get there. It was the three week mark last night since I broke myself! :)

Love, C.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

You'll get there, for sure! Everyone tells me so I'll pass it on to you: Don't push yourself too hard. (Hard advice to follow, I know!)

Here is my current favorite Avengers(Loki-centric) fan fic http://archiveofourown.org/works/1108212/chapters/2230369

WIP, but the author updates pretty often. Gen, but really good.

SO much of that fandom is Thor/Loki, and that really is not my thing. But there are a lot of stories out there so it is not hard to find something new to read.

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

Oooh, thanks for the link!

And yeah, Loki/Thor isn't my thing at all. Gen stories with them would be perfectly fine, but not slash. Slash-wise I like Tony/Steve and Clint/Coulson, though I'll read nearly any pairing so long as the story is good.

[spike7451.livejournal.com]

I haven't read a comic in I don't know how long... years and years!

How are you feeling?

[thistle-chaser.livejournal.com]

It was a new experience! Nice, but I like books better.

I'm improving most days. I still have no energy and get tired easily, but most days no pain, so yay!

[spike7451.livejournal.com]

SO glad to hear that most of the time you are pain free, that is great news.
