Maius Intra Qua Extra

I tried to write an entry for "Sun" at who_contest, but it got away from me and ended up 75% too long. But at least I wrote something! Oh, and it was written during this super-boring meeting at work, so that was a plus. It's a weekly meeting, and I'm starting to think of it as my weekly fanfic-writing time. ^_^

Edit: OMG! I just realized I wrote a pairing! First one! Woot!
Edit edit: Oh, the things I get proud of...
Edit edit edit: Next goal - write a pairing that isn't doomed.

My husband and I drink way too much soda. His poison of choice is Diet Pepsi, while I prefer non-caffeinated drinks. I happen to really like Diet Ginger Ale, but I also like Diet 7-Up, which makes it a kind of a pain at the grocery store, to always have to buy two sleeves of different drinks.

It's become a rule in our house that when he asks me what I want to drink, I must answer "Rude" if I want ginger ale or "Not ginger" if I want 7-Up.

Today at work, we're trying to fix a really bad bug in the spinner in our game. A spinner is exactly what it sounds like - basically a roulette wheel with prizes on it, and the player pays in-game currency to spin it. The problem is that one of the prizes is not being awarded correctly and we have no idea why.

We probably won't be able to fix the issue before the next release (since we have no idea why it's happening), so I, as the game's product manager, am trying to come up with an alternative plan. One is to remove the offending prize, but that will anger the players, that it's being removed without being replaced with something of equal value. I came up with another idea, but I will completely admit that it's not fair to the players and it's not good and it's evil. (We also won't do it, but it was still an idea.) My husband, who works with me, looked at the idea and said, "Woah. That's some shady shit." To which I replied, "Product manager victorious! The laws of spinners are MINE!"

Ah, the descent into darkness is slippery and lined with bowls of ice cream.

Because I have nothing else to say, here's one more video that I love. Almost makes me tear up.

Ok, I'll stop now.

Just because I feel like posting another "Doomsday" bash.

(I did seriously think this when I first saw the episode. After all, what stops the Doctor from returning when he isn't crossing his own timestream?)
