Hola, kidlets!
I have been busy, hoo boy and it doesn't promise to get any better. With the holidays ramping up into full swing, I'm sure you're all feeling the pressure as well. So, just before I fall off the face of the map again. I'll fill you in on a few things.
I spent my weekend shopping for a cute outfit to wear to ZuzuQ's birthday. Jeans seemed to be out of the question because everything is ultra, super, premium low rise and I'm a regular low rise kinda girl. I did, however, find a gorgeous gold cowl necked tunic with three-quarter length sleeves. I was shiny as a Oscar statuette, baby.
We had dinner at Mucho in Manhattan Beach, I highly recommend it. Scrummy, yummy food and the most fantabulous margaritas ever made! Pomegranate, who knew!!
Beefed up on dinner, we headed to sundry bars (Town to Shade to Twelfth Street), our companions were made up of the usual kids plus a gorgeous girl with dark ringlets named Joie (pronounced Joey) and Erica, a wacky kid ready for serious party hijinks. I got chatted up by a giant cutie-honey with big hands and a guido collar. Bacardi Girl laid the sauce on too thick and ended up with a semi-stalker for part of the night. ZuzuQ warned him to bring his A-game with Bacardi Girl and to sell it, but alas, he wasn't man enough for the hot tamale that she is.
Perhaps in bigger news, yes -- bigger than my giant cutie-honey and Bacardi Girl's stalker boy -- Pigskin Porkchop got into the dental program at Howard University and Sin got engaged. How awesome is that.
I finally finished the piece that was supposed to be posted for November 26th (I thought it was due November 28th) and it went up as a bonus fic on December 1st. You can find it in the previous post. I'm still not completely happy with it, but believe me when I say that it is a million times better than it was.
In other news, I've been reading the fic from the marathon. I've made it to November 10th and I'd like to take a moment to make a few recs:
Souvenir is French for Memory by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
biggrstaffbunch - The IWRY marathon started off with a bang with this fic. The Buffy and Angel voices are spot on. This fic has humor and a touch of angst, and even better, the glimmer of a happily ever after.
Five Ways Buffy and Angel Never Met and Never Have to Say I Love You bylandrews - This post-NFA fic broke my wee little heart. It's hot and sexy, tender and sad, surprising and broken. It has much to do with the way that B/A and Buffy and Angel come and go, as a couple, as lovers, and as friends. It's an amazing grouping of AU's. 4 and 5 are my favorites.
Nascent Descent bythenyxie - Good Lord! Nascent Descent is epic! I love the language and images. Angel in Hell and who comes to save him, but Buffy! Simply Gorgeous.
A lifetime or five bybashipforever - Again with the glimmers of happily ever after. It's funny and sad and tied up with a big red bow on the end that might just mean hope. I love when writers can give me a Buffy and Angel, still a little scarred, but potentially moving towards a light at the end of the tunnel. This is great for that. And then there's the sweet and the funny, too.
That's me, kids!
For the remainder, I will be finishing up sundry applications, attempting to finish one more fic before year's end, seducing the Giant Cutie-Honey, and eating too much chocolate.
I hope that you all will be up to the same.
Oh, and also, I am charmed by Tin Man even though I find Dorothy Gale (aka DG) to be pretty uninteresting. Why is it that everbody else has angst and delicious back story except for her. Not to mention they all have better names. I mean how do we go from Azkadellia to DG, for heaven's sake.
