Fortress Of Good Fortune

Ah, 'tis the Winter Solstice. Enjoy Yule! :)

Happy Halloween to everyone! :)

Hi, luvs! I've been off-line quite a bit the past 24 hours having all kinds of Halloween fun, so it took me until today to present these latest submissions into my 2015 DCU Fic/Art Halloween Challenge. All three submissions were made on Halloween to make deadline. :)

Please enjoy clarahow's charming tale of spookiness starring Kara and Alex of the brand-new Supergirl, an amusing, magical Clark/Bruce story by navaan, and a sexy Dick/Tim funfest by navaan again.

Author's Notes: written for bradygirl_12’s DCU Halloween challenge. The first prompt is obviously "It was a dark and stormy night," but I don't want to give away the second prompt. All I can say is, this probably isn't the kind of festive fic Halloween deserves... but maybe the fic Halloween needs? (Yes, that was a terrible joke, I know.) Unfortunately as I was going through the prompt list, my muse latched on to something and took it to a dark place :s

( I love pumpkin. )

Hi, luvs!

Fall is in full swing here. The trees are starting to turn colors and the weather, while a little too warm for my taste, is semi-autumnal. I’ll be going to the orchard one of these weekends soon (getting some fresh apples and an apple pie), and the apartment is decorated with red, yellow, and orange, complete with ceramic and real pumpkins. :) I even have my flying Witch on the front door!

A reminder that the 2015 DCU Fic/Art Halloween Challenge is running. If you have a Marvel Comics idea that you can crossover with DC, remember that crossovers are welcome, and is not limited to Marvel.

I bought some apple/pomegranate lotion the other day. It smells divine!

I usually don’t buy doughnuts or muffins, but during October it’s a weekly run to Dunkin’ Donuts to get both in pumpkin flavors! Dontcha just LOVE pumpkin flavor?

I received my Trader Joe’s Frequent Flyer in the mail a few days ago. It’s the October (Pumpkin) edition. Sweet!

Patriots/Cowboys this Sunday! Whoo hoo!

I’m going to a Halloween party next Wednesday. I’m going as a Patriots fan with my Tom Brady jersey, my Patriots cap, and anything else I can scare up that’s Pats-themed. :)

Can you hear the whispers of ghosts in the trees as they bend and sigh? Can you see the Jack O’Lanterns glitter and leer as their light dances in the windows and on the porches? Can you hear the shuffling of feet as they make their way through the fallen leaves?

Then it’s time for BradyGirl_12's 2015 DCU Fic/Art Halloween Challenge, my friends! :)

This is BIG, folks! ;)

So harvest the candy corn and string up the pumpkin lights and join us for spooky fun! :)

Week 16: New England Patriots 17, New York Jets 16 (12-3) (Sunday, December 21, 2014)

The Patriots squeaked out a win over division rival Jets. It's always a grinder with these guys! Disturbing that the O-Line had regressed (Dan Connolly was out) and the Jets sacked Tom four times in the first half. The Pats had no pass rush or blitzes on their side to speak of, either. >:( Not good to play so badly this late in the year, but the Jets are always pesky. And this is probably Head Coach Rex Ryan's last game for the NYJ.

Tom scrambled for a first down and Gronk and Jonas Gray scored TDs. Julian Edelman was sorely missed as he was out with a concussion. LeGarrette Blount was out for the day, too.

Thank goodness the Jets have no offense and can't make big plays! The Pats escaped and clinched a first-round bye in the playoffs. And Big Vince blocked a field goal, which probably saved the team's bacon. Go, special teams! I'll take a win on Yule! :)

The Dolphins won and the Bills' game is in progress:

NE 12-3
BUFF 8-7
Miami 8-7
NYJ 3-12

EDIT: The Bills lost! :)

Next week the Pats finish up against the Bills at home in Gillette Stadium. Go, Pats! :)
