Path: Illogical

Dog-sitting for the in-laws is the order of the next couple of weeks. The dog is a cockapoo, heavy on the poodle. He's also pretty high-energy. Combine that with my dog (who's a Boston terrier x American cocker spaniel), and you've got a pretty energetic few hours of play on your hands. We're hoping they tire themselves out quickly and get on with flopping over on the couch.

Resisting the urge to start re-reading Avalon again. I read the first half of it in one go some years ago and the last half as it was posted. I was actually quite bummed out when Josh laid down the pen on that one, and the notes on the conclusion only intensified that. I'd love to see the next three years of Avalon following Ceilidh and Phoebe in one arc and Joe in another. Makes me wish I could draw and write!

Terminology question from someone who honestly doesn't know -- would riffing on that be fanfic, slash, or other? (I know it would help if I even looked up those terms first -- consider this question a personal to-do for me.)

Update: To-do to-done. The Ceilidh and Phoebe story arc would indeed be fanfic and (fem)slash, and the Joe story arc would be fanfic but not slash unless he got it on with Alan. Gotcha.

I've been trying to do more coding on the weekends, and I now think this is a mistake. Weekends need to be for resting and just doing whatever, not for trying to cram in whatever I don't get time to do during the week. I nuked the Yabba repo -- nothing of value there, and it'll never get used now that I'm on DW.

The doglet got fed wheat crackers a couple of days ago and now she has a patch of irritated skin on her tummy. This makes three times in the last several months she's gotten her paws on something with gluten and three times her body's reacted in exactly the same way. At least we know for sure what's causing it now.

Went to Sushi Katsu (or is it Katsu Sushi? It's not a name that makes much sense, anyway) for dinner tonight. It's the only sushi place I've found that keeps gluten-free soy sauce on hand, so they get a great big gold star. The food was good, as usual, and the place was hoppin' busy. Given that I eat sushi five days per week at work you'd think I'd be bored of it come the weekend, but fortunately that's not the case.

No bites on the positive-attitude-LGBTQ queries here or on Twitter. Not surprising, I guess. So many communities are so slanted towards the LG end of things so it'd be interesting to find one that leaned toward the BTQ end.

Are there any positive (in attitude) LGBTQ communities online any more? I've been looking around but not having a lot of luck so far. Things seem to be either pretty quiet or so focused on the negative issues that it's hard to take on a regular basis. In this age of It Gets Better, I'd imagined that positivity might be easier to come by. Does anyone have any suggestions?
