Things We Write To Avoid That Working Thing

My favorite quote of yesterday: "I hate picking up the phone [at work]. I either want to strangle the person or beg their forgiveness. Sometimes I want to do both, and I throttle their ankles."

Made a v. v. minor flist cut. Just removed some journals that I don't have the time to give my full attention to.

I've been really tired lately. Admittedly, I'm only getting seven hours a night, but wanting to crash at work every afternoon shouldn't be happening because of that.

Veronica Mars season finale tonight. I'm uber-excited. I'm pretty sure I know who killed Lilly Kane, but I'm dying to see how it plays out. I'm so glad that [livejournal.com profile] booster17 and [livejournal.com profile] airawyn tuned me into this show. In a world without new Whedon television, this is a nice surrogate.


Eyepatch guy, Xander, settles in the seat opposite Connor, friendly and open. When Connor got the invite to interview for the Council, he expected to get a stuffy Brit, not an American barely older than him. Xander says he's sorry about Angel. Connor asks if they can just get to it. Xander shrugs. "Sure." The more he says, though, the more concerns Connor has. "This battle killed my father," he says. "I'm not sure I'm your guy," he says. But he knows that in the end, he'll take the ticket to London. He has to. He needs somewhere to be.

Good

But I need more. More! More!

Glad you appreciate it. I always wanted to write a political thriller inside the New Watcher's Council. After I tidy up my other two WIPs, I might tackle that.

Ah, a battle between old and new philosphies. On one side, Roger Whyndham-Pryce, Zabuto, and Wood, on the other, Giles and the others. Interesting.
