Princess What-A-Mess

pepper: Pepperpot (Ah crap)
Notes to self:

Alarm clocks. If you switch them off, you need to be certain you're actually going to get up now, and not merely fall back into a comfortably non-alarm-interrupted sleep. Restful though it may be.

Glasses. Yes, you still wear them. No, they don't mysteriously disappear when you want to splash water on your face. Apparently you need reminding of this fact.

Salad. Should not, in fact, go up sleeves.



Notes to others:

Being disorganised. Clearly I'm not the only one. Yes, I'm looking at you, schools of the UK. The deadline was in February.



(Has anyone read the Prince What-A-Mess books, btw? I adored them when I was little. Perhaps unsurprisingly.)

Ooh ooh and also (only slightly related through the mention of books), I saw your SG novel list and next is Do No Harm and I'm getting it tomorrow, hopefully, and I've heard it's pretty good and yey Janet!
*breathe*
I'd be interested to hear what you thought of it when you get chance to read it.

Oh! I'm so glad you mentioned that, because I had a note from the Post Office today to say that I had to pick something up, and I was damned if I could remember what it was. It's my copy of Do No Harm! Excellently well-timed of you. Heh.

I have to catch up on my posting about Stargate novels, come to think of it. I've not blathered about Trial By Fire and Siren Song yet. Must do that.

No way! *preens*

I've not read the others (I'm a shameless Janet!whore, so unless I know she's got a chunky role, I'd rather save my money) but I'd still be interested to read reviews.

Survival Of The Fittest, then - you'd probably like that. Janet has a major role, she gets to go offworld, and it's also one of the best of the Stargate novels, IMO. In the others, she doesn't really appear, or only barely.

Yes http://pepper-field.livejournal.com/109990.html, by others I meant others-not-Survival. :) I was all over that Janet adventurey hurty Jack-related-angst action!
(I liked it a lot too - I hear many people not liking the gore and stuff but that's silly. Like when people read fic with bad language and complain that it's not true SG cos they never swore on the show. Yes, granted, the group of them are adult and intelligent enough to express frustration/whatever without swearing excessively, and I don't like fic with gratuitous language either. But the reason they never swore on the show wasn't cos the characters never swear, but that it was a family show. Even more ridiculous is the idea that the wounds and scrapes they get into are really as sterile as we saw on the show. A staff burn has to be really gross. They just couldn't show us loads of blood and gore. Doesn't mean it didn't happen. Whoa, essay! Sorry)
