Today is not my day

All in all, today has been a sucky day.

Bad stuff:
  • No Venetian Heat. Damn! If I were religious in any way I'd *pray* for a decent movie role for JM. He so needs to do something different.

  • My idea of writing a story to sponsor [livejournal.com profile] lordshiva turned out to be problematic because I hadn't considered copyright issues. (mental note: first think, then post)

  • PMS

  • A very annoying email from a RL friend who told me that it gets on his nerves when I get all fannish and that I'm insensitive and a bad friend for not noticing and then respecting his lack of interest in all things Spike. Bah. Just what I need.

  • My back aches.

  • I ate too much and the wrong things

  • My Carnivale 1x02 file is corrupt, so I have to dl again

  • Didn't write a thing

  • Lacked the energy to do anything constructive

  • Watched QAF (Hate Ethan!)


Good stuff:
  • Wonderful feedback for Wake and String Quartet

  • Hubby put money into my writercon piggy bank (twice)

  • Went to see a bonfire with the kids (fire pretty)

  • [livejournal.com profile] ladycat777 is writing more One, Two, Three, her marvellous Spike-gets-turned-into-a-girl fic. Squeee!

  • Read 25 pages of Anita Blake

  • Watched QAF (loved how Emmet tore up the cheque for a million bucks)

  • Daughters were ever so cute today. Katharina is growing up so fast!


Okay, maybe it wasn't 100% bad after all. *sigh*

Misery loves company, right?

Cracking up here. I hate Ethan, too. I wasn't much of a fan of Dr. Dave in Season 1, either.

I'm glad your day wasn't 100% bad, but sorry that any part of it sucked. May today be better.

No Venetian Heat?!

You mean no "hello salty JM/Patrick Dempsey slashy goodness" at all? Now I'm having a bad day.

Sending you nice happy slashy thoughts. Let me see...I'm picturing "My Beautiful Laundrette" but with Spike and Xander.

...come to think of it, that's a good bunny. Someone needs to write this. Someone who, unlike me, can actually write, that is. Hope tomorrow is better!

So sorry about all the Bad.

::hugs Estepheia::

Remember, Ethan goes away (erm, you did know that, right?), the A:tS premiere rocked, your hubby is too wonderful for words (are you sure he's real, and not just something you made up to torment all of us? Dah-um, you are lucky!), and your daughters are equally wonderful.

Tomorrow can only be better.

Well, hopefully this will be something else to put in the good column. Pursuant to a post by [livejournal.com profile] redrover1980 earlier today about feedback (http://www.livejournal.com/users/redrover1980/90594.html), I feel that I owe you an explanation on some feedback I left for Chapter 11 of Cues & Balls.

What I said was, "But, but...there's a SEQUEL, right?!?!?", which now strikes me as kinda demanding, and not properly respectful of the work that you've done on this story.

What I meant was, that I loved the story so much, I didn't want it to end. Based on where it fits in canon, I can see why you ended it where you did, and it fits the story perfectly. So knowing that this story was finished, my poor feeble brain said, "SEQUEL!", and I went with it, especially because of this part:

Spike smirks. "If you want a fag after a bit of frottage, what'll happen if we ever do it for real, proper fucking and the works? Bring out the chains and whips? I'll corrupt you yet."

'Proper fucking and the works?' Yes please. But...


So I hope that your muse will move you to write more Spander, be it a sequel or a totally different story, because you do it so well, and you're a peach for sharing it with all of us.

Oh, and frottage is *so* my new favorite word! I even used it in feedback that I left for [livejournal.com profile] fitofpique last night on her Spander fic. So thanks for improving my vocabulary too!

I find that was a very strange thing that your friend told you. Why can't he be more considerate as well then. Friendship does go both ways, or it did last time I looked!

As to V.H. being cancelled, well I also feel very sorry for James at this time. We all know he could have done with the extra 'exposure' that this film would have brought to his carer. I do hope that he gets another crack at getting a good character part in the near future.
