Friday's dinner party involved more wine than was entirely healthy, and conversations on such topics as Israeli military service, home schooling vs. non-schooling, fanfic, polyamory, and jewelry making.  So, a typically weird evening with my friends.  I left after midnight, and strange conversations continued on the ride home.  It was during a rant about the canon of Joss Whedon's vampires that I attempted to say that 'X' idea was more pop-psychology than anything scientific, and what came out of my mouth was 'pipe-psychology'.  Which derailed the conversation utterly, in our laughing attemps to define the new term.

Shopped until I dropped pretty darn literally on Saturday, then took a nap, then was out until almost 3 dancing.  I managed to pick up a 150' hose, a broom, and various and sundry small items we were in need of.  And, all without a car.  Yes, I carried the hose on the Metro.  Still, oddly, not the strangest thing I've ever transported via subway.  That would be a dolly full of wood, which was then used to construct a prairie-style dining table to seat 12.  Luckily for everyone involved, I wasn't the one making the table.

Today I did not mow the lawn.  I didn't do laundry, either.  Doing the dishes was about as productive as I was willing to be.

So now, to sleep.  Hope everyone else had a fabulous weekend, and more to share tomorrow, I'm sure.

When the world seems to say,
Happy Friday!
To you and me.

Okay, so not my best work in re-writing song lyrics, but it fits.  I forget the author's name at the moment, but there's a wonderful fic out there called "Better to Give Than to Receive", a christmas Spuffy, featuring love poems re-written.  I'm always incredibly impressed with the work on the poems when I read it.  You should check it out; I believe it's at Spuffy Realm, and possibly BSV.  Those are the two I frequent most, so it must be one of them.  For some reason Vampire's Kiss hasn't been loading correctly on my home computer, so I only read there now-a-days if it's a story/author who doesn't post anywhere else.

I'm temped to try my hand at this; either with poems or songs, but I'm gonna pass for now.  Maybe after I finish a few things.

Oh, and my beta kinda freaked when I told her I was writing a Sparla fic, so if anyone is available/interested, let me know.  I don't have much done, but I think it could use another set of eyes.  Some things I'm prepared to post un-beta-ed, some not so much.  That one is falling under not so much, at the moment.  I think it's because the sex is a bit more graphic than I usually write, and I get worried about making it seem sensual and accurate to both biology and the characters.

I have a huge problem writing NC-17 stories (although, certainly not reading them, LOL).  I've read so many, with really beautiful writing, that I don't want to be derivative.  And it seems like everything's been done.  With Spuffy, I've ended up skimming over the action, much the way I used to with my X-Files stories.  I think with two vampires, though, where the sex is more about...Well, sex...Than love or romance, a bit more detail is needed.

My muse seems to be on her way back from vacation; I'm busting out all over with ideas right now.  One is based on a Bloodshedverse challenge, the other just popped up like a little bunny, and isn't showing any signs of running away.  I'm not sure if it'll ever get written, as it involved Giles and voyeurism, but I never thought I'd get all into writing Spike/Darla either, so who knows.

Enough ranting, off to work now.  Latah!

We can dance if we want to
Leave the work week far behind
'Cause your boss don't dance
And it she don't dance
Then she's no friend of mine.

We can go where we want to 
A place where they will never find
And we can act like we work
Someplace really cool
Leave the real job far behind
And we can dance

Friday dance
It's a Friday dance
It's a Friday dance

If you get the reference, you SO get a prize!

I am reminded of this particular reference, because it is after lunch on Friday, which is a time of great joy and celebration.  And you know that even if I am a sicky right now and I have to tone down the ritual ablutions, it's still pretty damn exciting.

So, what's going on this weekend?  So far, plans are a total bust.  Which is kind of okay, since next weekend will find me moving a close friend into her new place.  If I can actually feel better and get off my ass to do stuff around the house, I'm sure it would be best to do so ASAP.  The dust and pet hair cannot be helping with the cold and flu issue.  Plus, I'm out of of body wash, so I've gotta go out and get more.  And there's a grocery list.  Etc., etc..

Nothing terribly exciting on any of the usual fronts, but I did get the poor limping home PC into some type of order last night, so that I will be able to update this over the weekend.  Still evaluating my ability to buy the new computer I want.  New job responsibilities are coming along, and we'll see how those affect my life and ability to get stuff done.
