Yesterday we were completely without the internet. This morning Dad rebooted it (the whole internet, he's talented like that) and now it works. So it turns out yesterday we could have had it all along and I could have accomplished slightly more than I did. Oh well.
I did finish reading Kate DiCamillo's The Magician's Elephant. Easy, quick read. I really enjoy her style of writing. And now when kids check it out, I can say, "I liked that book," and we can have something to discuss.
Also finished writing two fics. That's right, TWO. Though one of them will probably not see the light of day in it's current draft/form. The other I am e-mailing away to be polished up for posting. It's a follow-up to Busted. Which, ha, I kind of can't believe I wrote a follow-up. There's also a third one planned.ginnith says that I grew up in the time of the trilogy and it makes sense that should be reflected in my writing.
Though I can honestly say I never, ever thought I would write on a pornographic trilogy involving hot angel/man love when I was in high school. Out of the many things we talked about during breaks in Choir, that was not one of them.
Oh, which reminds me I should ask Neesh about the lyrics for "O Holy Crap."
I also watched the first part of Alice on SyFy (uuuugh channel). I was pleasantly surprised and enjoyed it quite a bit. It reminded me a lot of Tin Man (which I also enjoyed, mostly, though I think it ran too long). At first this really annoyed me - the similar heroine, the mysterious past, the mysterious family, the not-quite-our-world setting - but then I realized that similarities go back farther than the adaptations.
It's likely I'll post more about that after part two tonight.
