Sep. 22nd, 2006 09:19 pmI called in sick today for period pains. God appears to be making it worth my while.
( Some ranting and some squeeing. Over Emmerdale )
I thought maybe, after trying to write Emmerdale fic, I just didn't get the characters well enough, and mostly just liked watching them flail dysfunctionally - and that I couldn't write Emmerdale fic very well because I just tend to SAY STUFF, and tell not show. But then today I wrote about 700 words I really quite like for them. So I've decided writing is just a bit hard. Especially in fandoms no-one else really knows about. Where you get new canon pretty much every day.
While I was upset last night, I did manage to find this pic from Matt and Carl's big gay break-up though:
Which is surely compensation for something :)
Today I finished the first Lucifer book, which is brilliant. I enjoyed it way more than the first Sandman book, and am into the series in a way I'm just not with Sandman. Yet. Though I think I should probably keep reading those at least until Lucifer actually gets to the part where he has a spin-off. He is icy and blond and amoral, and just knows everything about everything. And he's mostly just sticking to his version of the "truth" about the world, which is fair enough if a little harsh on human beings. So yay, I love him. And I love Mazikeen a bit too, even if I can barely understand her. She dashes up with fire extinguishers, and always carries an edged weapon. She is great.
And I caught the S5 episode of Angel where Lindsey comes back as tattooed whore mage, and they have that swordfight where he takes his shirt off for just no reason. It is amazing. I should try to track down some Angel DVDs at some point.
At the moment my nephew's here again. He's progressed from calling me 'ruh-ruh' to 'rah-rah', and I'm very, very pleased. Tomorrow I have to go pick up a recorded delivery from the post office that's possibly my new phone, and I really should get back to Connotations about modding that panel. Which I, um, haven't. I think I probably will now. Apparently my modding skills aren't THAT bad, and I've sort of started planning handouts. So, yay!
Also: TWO WEEKS, omg.
