nausicaa83A few news and links from my favourite fandoms!
We have an update on the Travelling Lemon Project: the new deadline is June 4th, and they're still accepting donations. They're up to 135 different cities, and you can see a list here. When you see them all together in a nice list like that, it just leaves you speechless. So glad to be part of this project!
News on the Save Undershaw front too. Today Sherlockology announced the Empty House winners. There were 400 entries and only 31 winners, and the story I was cheering on didn't make it. While usually I'm a very nice loser, the "oh well, better luck next time" sort, it turns out I turn into a very bitter, sore loser when it happens to someone I admire. I re-read the list three times to be sure, and then proceeded to shout at the screen "you wouldn't recognize true genius if it were standing right in front of you! which it were! idiots!" Anyway, still buying the book (obviously), but what a shame indeed.
The sour mood can also be blamed on the fact that tomorrow it'll be 11 years since my sister died. And as all of you know by now, anniversaries always bring out the worst in me. I'll try to avoid all forms of social interaction, bury myself in depressing music and junk food and wait for the damn day to pass.

Date: 2012-05-16 10:11 pm (UTC)(There is already someone who has sent it lemon pictures from my home city! How is that possible? There are like five people who live here and three of them don't even know English! I'm excited about it and just a touch jealous that he/she beat me to it. But I am allowed some feeling of inadequacy today, especially where my peers are concerned. Anyway, excited more than anything! I've been waiting for the bloomin' rain to stop so that I can finally take some good snaps.)
I hope you're feeling better physically and that Sakura is providing some heating and TLC service. Tomorrow is a sad day.*hugs* But it is also a new day and after tomorrow comes another day. I know it's not much, but you know...from the heart.♥

Date: 2012-05-17 08:48 am (UTC)From what I understand from Tumblr, all the major European cities got more than one submission, and I find it fascinating, as I think every person has his/her own personal definition of landmark. I wonder if someone else did Venice, and if they did I can't wait to see their pictures to compare them!
Although from what I gather it isn't always the residents: many pictures were taken by tourists, and that could be the case with your hometown. A lj user on one of those updates asked for a few more days so they can send pictures from Pakistan (how cool is that?) when they get there.
No nightmares yesterday, that's a good sign! And thank you for the good thoughts, those are always appreciated! ♥
