whoops. (and things make a list)

1. So about half the photos in the photo collage I posted yesterday have fallen off the wall overnight; apparently the sticky tabs I used were not sufficiently sticky. Oh well, I will go to Target and get more and better sticky tabs, and try again. If anyone has recommendations for photo-hanging methods that won't damage the photos or the wall, I would certainly appreciate them. I thought about nailing up little silver binder clips and hanging them that way, but that would require putting a lot of holes in the sheetrock wall, which I'm leery of.

2. ION, DC Big Flea is this weekend! If any localistas are interested in coming along, I would be happy to give you a ride. Big Flea is an awesome place to find all sorts of lovely vintage and antique things-- I will probably be looking for more photos for the wall, along with vintage clothes and whatever other shinies catch my eye.

3. I am determined to set better writing goals in the new year. I think finishing a story a month is doable, as long as I'm not picky about whether the stories are original or fannish. Almost all of the finished original stories I've got have been published somewhere, so I need a new batch to send out. I'm also thinking about e-publishing the YA novel I finished at the end of 2010.

Currently, I've got one original short story and one piece of fanfiction that I'm really trying to finish. The short story is about backcountry witches, and the fic is Captain America movieverse. I'd love to get some extra sets of eyes on them, as I'm a little stuck right now.

4. The boy comes back from Canada soon! I am excite. I think we are going to go dancing.

5. Watched the new Sherlock last night, and enjoyed it very much. I don't think it's too much of a spoiler to say that Watson's Christmas sweater should be burned. More thoughts later, perhaps.
