Monday

Read fic on the train. happyminion, the latest part of the Connor fic? *Rocked*. Like a really rocking thing.

Absolutely loved the visual image of Clark and Lex growling at each other through the Kent screen door. There's something very homey and sweet, and dangerous, and just very Smallvillian about it.

bananasrock, should I point out I don't buy from Amazon? Also, don't own a DVD player, but that's beside the point. I appreciate the discount vouchure, but I really won't use it.

Edited smut on the train to work as well. Okay, I'm oddly pleased that even though I struggled to write it yesterday, I still found it hot this morning. Yep, that's Annie, pen in hand, trying to concentrate on grammar/readibility, and trying not to squirm in her seat. (Of course, it could just be a personal kink thing, and no one else could enjoy it, but... well, is it incredibly self-focused to say that I'm happy just because it turns me on? Because, really, I am.)

On the other hand, I'm also pleased that I broke my habit of Dan always coming first. Hadn't consciously realised I'd broken it until I read through this morning. *shrugs* I'm pleased by odd things.

oxoniensis? I *love* this icon. Peppy Casey is so my Monday mascot!

On the good side, boss is out almost all day today... *g*

ETA: On the *really* good side? I came third in this week's wwcontest! *squees*

*bounces* Yes, I know it's petty, and I know it's for the fun of it, and I know I'm sharing third place with two other icons, but I'm totally thrilled about this. Plus, I was so happy about that Josh icon, and the way it turned out, and... *squees again*

...

I'm all sitting here doing nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Good ol' James M. is the guest star for this year's Buffy Down Under Convention. I wanted to go last year, but didn't have the funds/company to go. I want to go this year, and I'm wondering if it's wrong that I'm already planning to order a "Shut up, Spike!" t-shirt to wear.

I mean, it'd be cool. Kinda. (And rude, too. So I shouldn't. But... yeah... this is me. All non-productive and non-concerned. I'm figuring there's only twenty minutes until lunchtime, and then I'll get myself into the sqing of it this afternoon.)

Random stuff:

Britney's new song? Toxic? I like it. It's very catchy, and there's something about it that makes me think of classic Bond movies, and those old surfer flicks. It makes me think of surfer music and the Beach Boys, and it just seems naturally made for go-go dancing. *shrugs* Yeah, I like it.

Something I don't like? Is SN fanon heights. Okay, people, could someone show me a screencap of Dan and Casey standing beside each other? Because, really, I doubt Casey's more than an inch or so taller than Dan. It's the kind of height difference you'd barely notice. (Yes, I'm sick of Dan focusing on Casey's height.)

Another fanon thing? The use of "Case". This is truly sad that I am this much of a canon geek. Truly sad. And yet, how many fics use the nickname "Case". It barely appears on the show (once in the Late Night confession in Thespis, once in... some other intimate Casey/Dan discussion, and I think that's it). This is not a common nickname. It's not used anywhere near as frequently as "Danny", and yet, it seems to appear in almost every fic.

Mind you, I'm fickle about how much this bugs me. If it's a smutty fic, I'll give you more room. It's a one syllable word, easy to hiss or groan in the midst of passion. If it's them talking about serious, intimate and emotional issues, I'll accept the lone "Case". However, it shouldn't be appearing every second time Dan says Casey's name.

And despite these random bitches, I'm actually not in a bad mood. My neck's sore from lying in bed in front of the computer (have just remembered why I stopped doing that), and it's a Monday, but... not in a bad mood.

ETA: Just saw ahab99's Boogie Shoes icon. It's making me giggle like a loon. Can't explain why, it just does. *giggles*

I even chipped my nail...

Am still at work. Why?

Because the clock up the back is an hour slow. I decided to clear the filing from my desk (i have a bad habit of letting it pile up higher and higher), and thought, well, I've been meaning to reorganise the cupboard for ages, so I'll do it now.

Seriously, I have two cupbaords. Some of the shelves are so full of files that there's another row behind the front row, making it impossible to find the files easily (and wreaking the binders). Mind you, they've been like this since I started here last February.

But, now, I've cleared junk out of the third cupbaord and moved files across. (I cleared two shelves of junk, started moving all the files and then realised I need another shelf of space. Hence, I had to go clear more junk, move the shelf so it would *fit* the binders, and then move all the files all over again.) I have now got eight clean shelves of files.

However, I still haven't done my filing.

Screw it. I'm going home. I'll come in early tomorrow and do it.

Oh, man, is that *really* the time?

Boy for sale! Boy for sale!

...Oh, wait. Wrong script. Well, if I'm starting to quote Dickens, it's definitely time for me to go to bed. But, before I do, I just want to quickly note this before I forget...( Who's betaing what for me.... )

(Hey! Out of seven fics mentioned, three are smutty. I'm oddly proud.)

ETA: Is it wrong that I want an SN icon saying "My fandom is nocturnal"? It's not exactly accurate. Maybe, "My fandom has fun after dark"? *sniggers* Don't worry. Eventually I will think of something that would suit my night-owlish habits. (Maybe, "My fandom is full of night owls"? *shrugs*)
