I have nothing more to add  
No interesting little anecdotes about how much I hate my job/life/family. Spent all day yesterday moving furniture and trying to get the house looking less like a bomb site and more like... well, a house!

Plus, caught up on some reading on my my Flist and since I'm lousy at leaving feedback, here's the recs for you! [livejournal.com profile] m_mcgregor's Zeppo In Mind looks like it's going to be even better than I Am What I Am which is already one of my own personal favourites. The first 10 parts can be found at his journal.
[livejournal.com profile] invisionary has a wonderful Xander/Willow story just started on his journal. "Waking Dreams" - very nice start!
[livejournal.com profile] bastardsnow's "False Smiles" - what can I say about this story other than it's a must read? Just go read it, it's fantabulous.
[livejournal.com profile] liz_marcs "Water Hold Me Down" - nicely dark, wonderfully twisted. Go read. *g*
[livejournal.com profile] nwhepcat well, no list would be complete with her would it? Two stories for you, both written for the Tsunami relief fund - wonderful idea! "The American Stranger" - Oz centric, just fantastic. And the as-yet-untitled Xander/Dawn opus. Part 1 and Part 2. Already shaping up to be a classic.
[livejournal.com profile] ludditerobot also posted an update to Snowblind recently, which to my shame I've yet to catch up on. I will do so tonight though!

Edit *hangs head in shame* I'm so sorry, [livejournal.com profile] smhwpf I need my head examined for forgetting to rec this one! Night of St Vigeous, parts 1 and 2. Sam is the master of pre-Buffy Slayer tales (imho) and this is shaping up to be another classic!

And here was me hoping to get a little anecdote about how much you hate your life/job/family. Not gonna read any of your recs now because of that. *grins*

I'll join you in the reccing of The American Stranger. Tis a very good story.

:p

If you haven't already, you should read the Xander/Dawn story - it follows on from American Stranger.

So you wont read the recs unless I regale you with an anecdote? 'Kay. My job sucks, I have an admin username and password which I was assured would not expire - guess what? It expired. Now I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for the new one to be activated. Joy.

*grins* *is all happy now*

Will have to read the Xander/Dawn at some point then.

And why do they have admin userhames and passwords that expire? That just seems like stupidity to the Nth degree to me.

'tis libraian logic. As in, it's not logical at all.

*grin*

or even librarian....

See, I was gonna let that go, but you had to go and correct yourself didn't you.
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on January 11th, 2005 02:16 am (UTC)
you? let a spelling mistake go?

Yeah right!
[identity profile] rileysaplank.livejournal.com on January 11th, 2005 02:30 am (UTC)
Why did it take Yahell eleven minutes to tell me that a reply had been posted? Why I ask you, WHY?

And yes I would have let it go, I'm feeling generous today. Either that or I'm coming down with something.
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on January 11th, 2005 02:55 am (UTC)
'cause Yahell sucks - that's why.

Why did my boss wait till just now (11am) to tell me there's a work experience person coming this afternoon and she's expecting me to train him? Like I don't have enough to do already?!

'cause your boss sucks - that's why. *grins*

Achh, you'll be okay. You'll be a star and show them exactly how sucky it is to work there.

Next you're going to tell me they just put the books up in some random order rather than using some sort of alphabetical system.
[identity profile] whiskyinmind.livejournal.com on January 11th, 2005 02:12 am (UTC)
nah, that's just the students,

*grin*

although if you've ever looked at the Dewey Decimal system then you'd probably not be laughing...

I'm on record as vastly preferring LoC, but I think you know that.

I'd love to know what you think. Xander and Kennedy together is an interesting dramatic choice, I know.
