So, today is Columbus Day, one of the billion and a half paid holidays us civil serpents have off. Which is way cool, all things considered. I suppose it makes up for having to deal with kiss-ass politicians all the time. Have I mentioned that I hate politicians? The only thing better would be a job in the school district, which is also civil serpentine, and they have better holidays (all the school holidays, including most of the summer off? What's not to love?).
I figured I could get some writing done, move forward on the stories that I have and maybe sort of get somewhere on them. But no. I've barely written a couple of paragraphs on Resolutions, and nothing is working. No inspiration coming at all.
I thought I'd cook, maybe that would get the creative juices flowing, only no, that's not working either.
Laundry is swirling in the washer and the dryer's done with the last load. Why can't I think? Why can't I come up with something creative? Could it be the pseudo creepy music playing on the cartoon network? Could it be my annoying teenager, who keeps poking me -- at the risk of his life -- and asking me when I'm gonna be done so he can go back to playing mindless games?
Could it be that I'm completely burned out and have nothing more to give in the Spuffy genre?
It hardly matters anyway, since my beta is having a really rough time in RL and needs to focus on her man and her family right now, so I'm not even gonna worry about when I post again -- no one else seems to.
*sighs*
I'm whining.
I swear to god if he doesn't f*cking leave me alone and if he asks me one more f*cking time if I'm done, I'm gonna beat him to death with a box of spaghetti noodles.
Srsly.

Firstly, I thought BPAL Yule stuff didn't go live until November?! Secondly: WOAH. Marchen scents, omg. That's the category I've been most excited about since... ever. I have had a lifelong fascination with fairy tales.

inspiration strikes in strange ways ;)
I just saw "Chance" (such a cute movie!), and the first scene I feel like iconing is a very neglected one, I'm sure. But it's very important for the plot... ;)

The short? A creatively structured episode that finally gives Xander a chance to shine. Unfortunately, not much comes of his development here in later episodes. Full review below the cut.

"même le plus noir nuage a toujours sa frange d'or", as we say. I think english speakers talk about the "silver lining on a cloud", which means roughly the same.
Thank you ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) shanmara for the gorgeous banner. You chose the perfect moment to post ;)
*lots of huggles*

I've been reading btvs fanfic for awhile, and I'm wondering if anyone has any fics to recommend me? I am usually only interested in spuffy pairing fics. Thanks!

Got a couple of pages done on "Little Sister" Thursday night.
Friday night we got haircuts.
This morning we took the cake topper over to the bakery (We couldn't find one I we liked at any of the nearby decorating stories, so we went to Michaels last weekend and bought some silk flowers and stuff, and I made our own. Hopefully they're not too big for the cake.)
After that we took all the animals to the vet. ::bill shock:: I swear, once this lot pass to their rewards, no more pets. This time I mean it!
Then we did Mom's grocery shopping, took our accumulated aluminum cans to the recycling place, did our own grocery shopping, came home, and I washed old wallpaper glue off the bathroom walls and re-textured them, with some timely assistance from framefolly. They aren't quite done, since I still have to wash down the walls over the shower stall before I can do anything up there, but we should be able to primer the rest of it tomorrow.
But the best thing? pfeifferpack sent me a link to ![[info]](http://p-stat.livejournal.com/img/community.gif) celebrate_luv Thanks, guys. This is just awesome beyond belief. I'm all verklempt.

I ramble a lot so I'm putting this below a cut for length. Overall thoughts on these four episodes: Ooooo! Nifty!
( They couldn't have found a better word than 'Shanshu'? Really? )

Counting crows - Round Here |

I hate my god damn job it's such Bullshit. Drama up the ass and people are just fucking horrible.
So I work in the cafe and we are the black sheep of the B&N company.
Well I got called into work.. and I am don't work weekends. And stupidly I agree.
Bad move there. Any I get to work early and I am upstairs talking to Dale (One of my mangers). I ask who I am working with and it's the other Steven. GREAT I don't like that guy.. Dale Knows I don't like the guy and he doesn't like the guy. The guys a lair and he pretty much tries to get information about you to use it against you.. and I get a not good vibe from him.
Well needless to fucking say the guy is like on his last chance at this job.. like one little thing and he was going to be gone... Dale was watching him like a fucking hawk. So I work at 6 (so does he) till close 11pm. And I am working with the guy (blarg) and He ask me to ring him up for a soup.. so I do and he's on the customer side of the counter and he pays for it and stuff. So I go to get the soup and he comes back around to help this guy and I am like garden vegtable(cause that was the soup and he's like no the chili... ok but you paid for the soup(the chili cost more) and me not wanted to cause conflicted or drama. You know the whole fight or flight response.. well I am a flight person I hate any sort of conflict. I avoid it like the plague it is.. nothing but fucking trouble.. So I give him the chili and stuff and Dale walks back over and he's all Why was he on that side of the counter? and I am like he got food.. (it a bit of a blur now my mind is mentally erasing it already) but I tell him about the whole chili thing he leaves comes back and pulls me aside asking me questions and I am explian stuff. He leaves agian saying he's goin to talk to another manager and I go back to the cafe. Talking with Steven who's explianing the drama and shit I really don't care.
Dale coems back and pulls Steven tot he back to talk to him and that's when the shit hit the fucking fan, he storms out and I am by myslef all night and he stormed out in the middle of a fucking rush. ARGH! a long fucking line of people. Yep and thing thing is no one knows how to work the cafe but me so if I need support I was fucked no one can help.. but I did have a bookseller come over and help the register I just shouted out the number and she typed or looked them up XD other then that CRAZY and I was all on edge cause of all the conflict and drama. Not good for my leopard at all. I stated pasaing around the cafe. *sigh* Yeah I hate my Fucking job.
