Not a good Saturday, so far...

Victoria just threw up over our relatively new couch. Fortunately, she'd complained about a stomach ouchie a few hours before, so I'd only given her water to drink instead of o-juice or milk. Thank goodness for that.

I wrote 10 sentences for Perdition and then deleted 7 of them. But I think I may be on the right track. I'm depressed, the story is supposed to be sad - so I should be able to get some more written. Eventually.

Things Present - Things Past continues to annoy me. I don't like the flow of the chapter. I feel verbose. I want to convey too much with as few words as possible. mikelesq says I am too hard on myself. I know what I should do: write the whole dialogue first, then add the visuals, reduce both carefully, then season the whole thing with a pinch of introspection and some humor. Sounds simple, huh?

BBF, Angel, Smallville

Hah, just fulfilled my civic duty by seconding a few fics over at BetterBuffyFic, because it's Golden Oldie Weekend (just a quick reminder for the tardy ones).

I finally managed to watch the latest episode of Angel - 4x08 Habeas Corpses. Impressive. I didn't expect to but I really liked it. It was really creepy. I love both Lilah and Wesley and both had good scenes.

Smallville - 2x11 Visage wasn't so bad either. Obviously not enough Luthor screentime, but other than that it wasn't such a bad move bringing an older character back. It was nice seeing the cast act evil. I didn't see it as gay-bashing that the villain was a woman in love with another woman. Although I have to admit that the show is often a little to conservative for my liking. Well, it's inspired by a very conservative comic book...
