Few things.......

[lunabee34]

First off, Happy Birthday authoressnebula. I'm pretty sure you don't read my journal, but warm wishes all the same.

Secondly, if you enjoy my students-are-insane posts, check out these two offerings posted in my grad student friend djdarksoul's lj.

The Tattoo Saga, Part 1

The Tattoo Saga, Part 2

Be sure to read his brief explanations before the papers begin.

Thirdly, all you Star Trek junkies on my flist, rejoice. Arguably the best Star Trek novel writer (we're talking TNG here), Peter David, is writing a graphic novel about Spike. I think my squeees can be heard all across the globe. I mean, Peter David is brilliant. I want to have his novelist babies. He can do funny like nobody's fucking business. And when he wants to get angsty--whoa, mama.

Fourthly, and finally, I know most of you won't read gen or het, but I'm reading this story right now that's just blowing me out of the water. It's by liz_marcs and is one of the most brilliant things I've read in quite some time. It's called Water Hold me Down. There are nominal pairings (X/F, X/A), but it's not a ship-driven piece. It's completely character-driven. If you are at all interested in the character of Xander (and particularly his relationship (meant in a non-slashy way, although I suppose you could be subtexty with it if you wished) with Giles), this is something you must read.

Tatoo saga, indeed.

That was all kinds of funny. So Tatoos are nasty, then? ~is confused~

Thank you!

"gay" Hee!

the best part about "gay" is that i ran into him the day before and he told me his paper was "going to be offensive." that's the only part i can figure out that would be offensive since i have the "many earring or two earrings in one ear" that means "gay." Funny, though, because i usually mention my wife and child at least once a week while teaching. but his mother told him the sign, so damn, i must be gay. and the nastiest thing to look at. period.



ROFLMAO

Mel read us some lines tonight that just about killed me. I mean, I damaged something. I'm getting her to type them out. Just wait. *evil laugh*
