This and that

Look at my new icon! wisteria made it. I couldn't resist. Squee!

GotR are coming to Germany in June. I heard they suck, but hey, my favorite singer Fish isn't that spectacular either. He's too fat, too old, his voice isn't what it used to be and the last time I saw him live he couldn't even remember the lyrics to his most popular song. I still enjoy his concerts. I can be quite forgiving at times.

Anyway, the GoTR concert is in Colon, which is a 4 hour drive from here (I think). That shouldn't be too much of a logistic problem.

Mr. Estepheia already calmly expressed his willingness to look after the kids. God, I love that man! *Happy sigh*

Speaking of kids... The daughters got up early today and the older got the smaller dressed before Mr. Estepheia and I even got up. They were exceedingly sweet this morning.

Ack, it's friday, meaning Katharina has cheerleader practice again. Four afternoons per week I drive/take my kids to gym classes and English lessons and whatnot. Sometimes I feel like a bleedin' shuttle.

I should be writing right now, but for some reason I'm fiddling about with my LJ, checking my regular boards (and boy those are inactive, lately) and doing all kinds of other stuff. I suppose I'm still a bit miffed - Marcee and I had a mild disagreement regarding Things Present - Things Past. We discussed whether Spike can see in total darkness or not. IMHO he can't. We also couldn't quite agree on the extent to which the Council of Watchers is prepared to take human lives.

Since I'm the one who does most of the writing for that fic, should I put my foot down? *Sigh* I don't really want to....

I'm still getting occasional feedback for Sixty Minutes and Pandora's Closer, even though I posted them a while ago. I never had such a lot of feedback on a single story before. Interesting.

Better Buffy Fic stuff

After several other stories never got past the three nominations stage, Useful Commodities is the first of my fics to get archived in the BBF archive. That's both worth a happy "Squee!!" and a bewildered "WTF" - because I DON'T think that this is among my best work. It's a sweet harmless little thing, admittedly pretty close to canon, but not what I would call well-crafted.

Hmm, am I being nitpicky again? Tsk, bad Estepheia. Actually, I'm very flattered. Very. Because those posters said such nice things about my stories. *blushes*

Also at BBF nonnie is wondering why Spike and Wes is a pairing that apparently doesn't work. Interesting.

I still feel the insane urge to give that ship a shot. But definitely not now. Oh no! No way.
