Right! So I finally got around to making a real locked post that wasn't about sausages.

Since a couple more people have subscribed since I last asked: if you want to read my locked posts and are willing to abide by the comments policy say so here and I'll give you access. I don't mind if I don't have you subscribed, or you don't offer me access (if you're not subscribed to me I'll wonder what the point is, but that's your business :))

This took a few days since I have been stymied by a killer headache which has largely kept me offline (It SEEMS to be going away but who knows). On the plus side, I got around to various mopping/reading etc that I had been putting off.

You can see my locked posts here (unless you can't :) And if not you're not missing that much)

A small number of photos from Chas and Jen's engagement party.

I uploaded them almost immediately...in such a way as to break the gallery. Somehow. And then forgot to link them once Cam fixed it :)

Also: BUFFY TONIGHT. I made hazelnut macaroons!

Stargate! This wednesday!.

And since we haven't had any new people in a while: new people welcome! It's not a very complicated show, you'll figure out anything you've missed :)

Once again, presents are not required, but I may as well make it easier for anyone who decides to get me one :) Remember, BE CAREFUL ABOUT FOOD. Yes, this is going to make it tricky for me to eat stuff at lunch, but that's my problem not yours.

• BOOK VOUCHERS. I am stuck at home all day with nothing to do but read. Also I can use these to buy xmas presents if need be, since most of my friends and family love books too :) Fantastic Planet or Borders. Dymocks if you can't get to the city ie you're my grandma.
  
• Other sorts of vouchers: Coles-Myer are of course the most flexible. JB HiFi can be useful from time to time.
  
• Money. Hey, it's easy and it's multi purpose :D
  
• A PS1 memory card so I can play FF8. Probably let me know if I'm getting this so I don't get two :)
  
• A donation to a charity of your choice
  
• Something random you saw/made thinking "Sophie Must Have This"
  
• Mondo Nougat (not cappuccino or non-cherry fruit flavours) So far seems to be the healthiest and tastiest gluten-soy-dairy treat I've found. Don't want too much of this, I am trying to be healthier here :) Not sure about the "nougat in a jar" stuff they have on their website.
  
• Another safe-healthy-tasty-doesn't make me feel sick food is nuts (esp pistachios and roasted hazelnuts)
  
• I always end up using socks if you see some cute ones. Cotton rich, size 8.
  
• Um...other stuff I'm probably forgetting
  

There may well be pumpkin oatmeal cookies!
Details for the forgetful.

Heh. Every time I have to go back through my lj to find a recent post I am surprised at how much I have written since then :)

Also: I decided that since I make so many stargate posts I should have a stargate icon, and as it happens I made one a while ago from this fanart (Ok, yes, it's Atlantis, that's still closer than Torchwood)

What: Watch the next 3 "best" episodes of Stargate: "The Fifth Race", "1969" and "Fair Game" (seasons 2 & 3)
When: TODAY. 6pm for a 6:30ish start, Wednesday 22nd October. Any time before 9:00pm is ok if you don't missing bits/being quiet as you come in.
Where: My house. If you're not on the filter for that post (and I suck at filters so that may be lots of people) email/IM/comment etc and I'll tell you my address
Who: Anyone who knows and likes me well enough to hang out for a few hours and would get some enjoyment out of watching SG1. If you haven't seen the show before you'll figure it out, it's not very deep or complex :)
What to bring: Any snack food you wish to eat, and if neccesary your own dinner. I will provide nothing but chairs and a tv(*) :P

Also: I've been prety much constantly under the weather recently, so will probbaly kick people out quite sharply not long after the last episode so I can sleep. Please do not take this personally :)

(*)I'm fine with people having a mass pizza order or something, but since I have such wierd food issues will leave that to you guys to figure out for yourselves. I'll have some menus for local places to hand.

Stargate! My house! Wednesday!

And remember to organise food before 6:30 for I will be pressing play! I have menus for local eateries you may peruse from 6-6:30. Of the places near my house I recommend the Thai place near the train station.
