(no subject)

So I did the happy dance a while back because I can finally get Archaeology Magazine shipped to Canada. It turns out there was fine print on that though. Sure I can get it shipped here, but I have to pay for it on a cheque or money order drawn from an American bank!

I hate the Archaology Institute of America right now ... *grumble*

I know that it will only cost be 10 dollars more a year to continue buying it as it is, but it's the priciple of the thing that has me pissed off.



And on a slightly stranger note: My youngest is out on the deck screaming at a chipmunk. It seems that he's angry that the little rodent won't get closer so it can be eaten. Keegan in the meantime has beaten Logan up twice now for making too much noise and scaring said chipmunk off. It seems to be a case of "Hey! I was watching that!"

[fic] Book-reading Smokescreen

Ages ago, back in January, darkfire_blade requested Book-reading Smokescreen. I spent a lot of time thinking about it and coming up with nothing, and then I got distracted by all the pretty bunnies. So I finally came back to it, wrote out a beautiful piece, and realized that I had inadvertently ripped off straya’s Book-reading Ratchet. So back to the drawing board I went. I have finally been able to write this little piece of comedy. It’s nowhere near the length of Naïve Smokescreen (which never should have been that long since the stories are only supposed to be 300 words max), but I hope it stands up and is good enough for the request.

So without further ado, I present for your reading pleasure, ( Book-reading Smokescreen )
