Lunchtime randomness

eponymous_roseSo they've been talking about building a large apartment complex in the vacant lot right outside my window, and they finally started the pile-driving this morning. It is a little alarming to wake up at 6:00AM to find the room shaking with every BANG. I'm starting to hope we get a very early winter, if only so this project can be put on hold for a few months. Until then, I guess I'll have to do the early-to-bed, early-to-rise thing. They even do construction on Saturday mornings here.
Mind you, it is pretty fun to watch. It's like, oh, how are we ever going to get these massive supports into the ground? I know! A giant automatic hammer!
After chatting with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
agapi42 last night, I was reminded that I still haven't listened to the Gallifrey series of Big Finish audios (well, I have, but I forget where I left off and have no recollection of the ones I did listen to). Time to remedy that! Listened to 1x01 as I worked this morning and was reminded of my undying love for Romana. And Leela. And, well, everyone involved. Space politics with plenty of snark and awesome ladies in charge is one of my favourite things ever, so I think I'll be enjoying this series a lot.
And now for a couple of random fic recs:
A Country of Smaller Wars byalibi_factory (Gallifrey; Romana/Narvin; R). Okay, so I haven't listened to the Gallifrey audios, but I've gathered up enough plot via fannish osmosis and Wikipedia to follow, and this is just amazing. If you're in the fandom and have been craving 23,000 words of pure unadulterated heartbreaking brilliance, this is for you.
Sanity Will Be Graded on a Curve byb1uemorpho (M*A*S*H; T). A fantastically written look at the 4077th from the point of view of a terrified new recruit. It's excellent, go read.
