I know that SV is screening over in the US this very second, but if anyone spoils me for this week's ep, I will track you down with a rusty spork. It's a long weekend coming up, I'm going to be able to download the ep and watch it with my lil' brother before he returns to Canberra (he was suitably impressed by Shattered and Asylum, I'm proud to note). I want to share this SV experience with him, untainted, so spoil me and die.

Yes, I've just realised I'm channelling Dan. Worst things could happen.

I'm in an odd mood. Part of this is altered sleep patterns. I have a training session this afternoon. Last night, I hadn't done any of the three homework tasks assigned to me. Feeling too tired to do anything productive, I went to bed at 9.30pm. And couldn't fall asleep until 11pm. I set my alarm at 5.30am, theoretically to get up early and do the study. Instead, I woke up, and just lay there under the warm covers, listening to radio music and trying not to plot any more SN fics in my head. Had a shower, dashed out the door, and did one of the tasks on the train.

I'm also hungry. I woke up *starving*. By the time I got to work, I'd eaten two chicken sandwiches, a slice of cake, a breakfast bar, and a large bottle of apple/blackcurrent juice.

*shrugs* In weirder news, Howard Dean used to be *hot*. That's far more frightening. Politicians and sex appeal. It's two thoughts that should *never* go together.

Okay, I'm catching up on LJ now.

Great cure for a bad mood? A sweet, heartfelt, funny and delightful Sports Night fic. The type of fic that leaves you smiling and thinking that all is right with the world.

Luckily for me, shellah just posted a fic that perfectly fits that description. It's Fall Classic. I promise you'll feel better after you read it.

Argh! Plea for a WW beta...?

Argh!

Just realised that Slod's second "A picture's worth a 1000 words" challenge, that I signed up for, has a deadline of 1 February 2004. I don't know how many people would remember the amount of bitching I did about getting the word limit right (I think that was basically my LJ posts for an entire week... "Bitch. Moan. Grumble. Stupid word count's too high." "Bitch. Moan. Grumble. Stupid word count's too low." "Bitch. Moan. Grumble. Stupid word count!")

I mean, I've written a lot of drabbles since then, so I think I have a better idea of how to cut down/increase word counts, how to focus on what needs to be there. But still, I think I should, like, organise for my fic to be beta'd soon. (I'd rather send it to beta when it's still 100 words over, because it's a little easier to cut down, than to add.)

*breathes deeply*

Okay, can I beg for a beta? (I'd beg oxoniensis, but she's sensitive to S4 spoilers, even the small ones.) West Wing, Sam Seaborn, post S4? Kinda morose, but a hopeful ending...

(You know what I need? I need a list of possible betas. I mean, I know a couple of people for SN (yes, and you've all been wonderfully kind, and no-one's said to stop annoying them with beta requests *g*), I have a standard two people for SV, but I never remember who's available/willing to beta S4 WW fic.)

Of course, instead of panicking about fic challenges, I could be doing another task for this afternoon. Yeah, right.

ETA: Another bad thing? I know I've signed up for another challenge. Maybe another two. I just don't know what they were. I need to remember to add these things to my memories.

If you're running a challenge I signed up for, could you be super helpful and remind me? *hangs head in shame*

Okay, I'm going home. Hopefully I'll just make the 8pm train. (Pray for me.)

I'm not online. I'm not. I was awake at 5.30am, so of course I'm being a good girl and getting an early night. I just need to drag myself away from the computer...

Hee!

Something For Kate's Jerry Stand Up is making me think of Dan. My dodgy sense of humour shows itself again. (It used to make me think of Sam (Seaborn), to tell the truth...)( Lyrics )

The big plan for the long weekend is to update my site. Post all of the beta'd SN fics and maybe even post the SV ones, instead of just linking to the SSA. (I also need to add the Schindler's List fic, and the Sam/Will fic.) Maybe even write a bit more of the Josh/Casey fic, or the Therapy fic.

Okay, now, going to bed... because falling asleep at 11pm is not an early night.
