There's a new Est. fic up here. It's not Jude/Ewan, but Jude and an OC (written by [livejournal.com profile] telesilla) and is actually backdated to 2005. (Wow, was it really that long ago...? O_o) Anyway, I was excited to read it, as I always am to read Est!Jude bits that I didn't participate in.

We're also poking at a couple Jude/Ewan ones, hopefully get back to writing these guys and have something to post in the not-too-distant future. :)

Speaking of being excited, I can't express how thrilled I am that every episode review post I've read has been full of squee for Ronon/Keller. They are so adorable!

Remember, if you want to bid on me for Sweet Charity, the auction runs through January 26th, 11.59pm GMT. And yes, I will be pimping this every chance I get. :p

In less exciting news, we went to Target this afternoon. BIG MISTAKE. First of all, I keep forgetting that there is construction on Culver and Sepulveda. This has been going on for months and months, and at first it didn't really make much of a difference to traffic, but then a month or two ago they changed it so there is only one lane each way on Sepulveda and the light to cross Culver can have only one direction going at a time, so it's shorter for each direction. Today it was backed up all the way to Washington on one side and to the skating rink on the other. It took us ten minutes to get from Washington to Culver. To give a bit of perspective to those not familiar with LA, Google Maps tells me it should take less than a minute. >_<

The thing is, obviously I know there is construction there. It's been going on most of the past year. But every time I forget about it until we reach there, and by then, of course, it's too late. *headdesk* Last time we came home up Sawtelle instead of Sepulveda, and there was construction on Culver there, too, so this time I was just like, dude, fuck it. I am going home down Jefferson if it means I have to go all the way to Lincoln. (Ended up going Jefferson to Centinela, actually, and there was no construction at Culver there, so I'll remember that for next time.)

Target itself was a madhouse, too. The problem, you see, is that there are only two Targets in LA. There is the Culver City one, and then the "new Target" (now several years old) on Jefferson and La Cienega. They are kind of close together, but it doesn't even matter, because the fact is, there are far more people in LA who want to go to Target, than there are Targets for them to go to. The parking lot was horrible and it was pretty bad inside, too. The woman in front of me in line had a cart full of stuff, and not just full of a few big items, but full of dozens and dozens of tiny things, so it took ages to ring up. Blah.

I imagine LA traffic plus construction makes it that you'd probably get there faster on foot than in a car. That's crazy that there's only two Target stores for all of LA. Here there's at least one Target every 5 miles or so. I'm within easy driving distance of at least 3, that I know of, and there's something like 8 or 9 in the whole county. Now, even with that many, Target is always full here too.

We actually don't have a lot of big stores like that here because everything is all built up.

And yeah, it would have been much faster to walk. I don't know if Culver is the next street after Washington, but it's the next light, and at the most there's one small street in between. I do think it's just one block between, though, if a longish one.

And I forgot to mention how the whole way, we of course had asshole racing up the side and trying to merge in at the front rather than the back, thus making it take much longer...
