I just want to say two things: the man who invented orange-pineapple juice, and made it available in those ready pour containers, was a GENIUS. And...there is nothing better for being sick than watching The Professionals.
Wait. That didn't sound right.
There is nothing for making you feel better -- albeit, tireder -- than watching the lads running, jumping, and -- blessedly -- shooting everything in their path for the long, snuffly minutes before the Nyquil kicks in.
Anyway, over at

kimnik's (Nikki Kimberling's blog), Phase III of the healing process is well under way. This is the part where Nikki, taking my advice -- and a handful of aspirin -- rewrites her scene of romantic passion. Let's see how she did it. What do you think?

Thank you! I'm working on it.
Thanks for the editorial tips. I found them equally as helpful for the non-sex scenes. Oh, and the Great Writing Book is finally on its way. Can't wait to dig into it now that I have a little bit of free time.
Hope you feel better soon.
Effective, but not the best way, no.

Yes! This stuff is not specific to sex scenes.
Hope you feel better soon.
Thank you!
I just got the Region 2 DVD megaset from Amazon.uk, although I'm a bit apprehensive about watching it. I haven't seen most of the eps since the late '80's, and that was on crappy, sixth-generation videotapes.
Oh, what a treat you are in for! Prepare to be amazed. *g*
I'm happy you're feeling better. For a moment there I thought Dakota was going to run over to your house with some chicken soup. She is one of your most loyal fans. When others would kick dirt and mutter, she leaps to your defense and is always loyal.
Yeah, it is hard work. A lot of people don't realize that -- which is why so much of what is out there is plain old crap.
When others would kick dirt and mutter, she (Dakota) leaps to your defense and is always loyal.
Because that's what friends do.
Holy Wow I do now.
Thank you. Working on it with feverish (literally) haste.
I understood you the first time and couldn't agree more. . . At times, they could wake the dead. . . so gorgeous!
Hoped they worked and you're feeling better!!

Thank you! They do seem to contain miraculous healing properties....
Well, they fall somewhere between the stylized AU fun of The Avengers and the brutal realism of MI5. Mostly they're just goofy good fun.
My one true vice.
I don't KNOW. With all the orange-pineapple juice I've drunk, I should be cured.
and comic-con is great. the boys from torchwood are funny.
Oh, good! Glad you're having a wonderful time. You deserve to.
and you need to switch over to guava :D
No, no. I only drink this stuff when I'm sick...man, it is...I salivate just thinking about it. But I never want it any other time. Way too sweet. It's about the only think I can taste at the moment.
Ah. First good question of the day.
Amazon UK -- look under DVD. BUT you need a Region Free DVD player. Which are still relatively inexpensive considering the world of viewing pleasures that promptly opens up.

You get an elbow jostled in your ribs to show approval in true British male fashion. And you can then elbow me back to signify your understanding that we've shared A Moment.
I think I'd spontaneously combust. It's too hot as it is!

I didn't think there was anyone else in the world that had even heard of The Professionals, never mind watched them. I watched the original shows in the late '70s on tv out here and have loved them ever since, dated though they now are...
Orange and pineapple juice minus the orange juice is even better.
And I enjoyed reading the original, your 'diagnosis' and the rewrite of the sex scene.
Have you tried eucalyptus oil on a cotton ball next to your bed while you sleep? Clears the nose and head. Essential oils rule.
Hope you get better soon.

Dated...yes. But the chemistry holds up well, and that's the main charm of the show for me: the two leads and their friendship.

I can only drink it when I'm really sick. Once my tastebuds come back, I go off it.

It was fun.

I can truly say the thought never occurred. Vicks Vapor Rub...yes. I might prefer the essential oils, come to think of it.
Pineapple juice is also brilliant for hayfever. Something about natural antihistamines.
And as for the essential oils... Ta da! You'll be fixed in no time. Trust me.
