A few yays...and one boo

demonmagnet made me this fantastic icon. Yay! I'm so happy! Now I owe her an essay on S7 Spike...

Angel the Series got renewed, yay!

I wrote a Sunday 100 in less than 10 minutes (okay, it's a bit roughshod) because I was in a hurry. I'm always proud if I write something fast because normally I'm so sloooow.

Played my new (Yay!) compi game Might and Magic IV last night instead of writing. I can't even remember the last time I spent more than an hour or two on a compi game. The penalty? I only got 3 hours of sleep. *shrug*

My ebay auctions could have been better. I made less than I hoped. Some of the things fetched abysmimally low prices, but fortunately, there were a few articles that did surprisingly well. Instead of the 300 Euro I'd hoped for I made 240 Euro. Oh well, better than having the stuff collect dust in the cellar.

More than a full week after my week of fasting I am still at 85 kilos. Yay! Meaning I lost 3 kilos in one week. I eat less now - and it's no hardship. Everything still tastes wonderful, even the low fat things I didn't like before. That makes me a happy camper. And my meat craving is not as acute as it used to be.

I have bookmarked several people's 'my spike' memes. Very useful. I'm thinking about doing one for Anya who IMHO is a sadly underused character.

I should be folding laundry and the garden needs work. But I think I'll try writing fic instead. I can always do the household stuff if the creative pipes are clogged...

(no subject)

I wrote two sunday 100s. Yay me. And I'm working on the Crusader, trying to streamline my lumbering clumsy prose. I tended to be overly precise, unable to cut corners, uneconomical. Amazing how a year of constant writing improves one's style and scope of vocabulary. Revisiting the Crusader makes me both cringe and smile proudly.

Anyway, here are my two sunday 100 fics:
Both are rated PG.
