i can still hear you saying you would never break the chain
I was here until 8 pm last night*, since I can't stay late today and I did not want a repeat of the last two board mailings, where I was schlepping them to FedEx at 8 pm on Friday night. And they sent me home in a car and bought me a danish this morning, so I suppose I can't complain too much? Meh. The packets are with FedEx now and the documents have all been emailed, so if we have more snow on Tuesday, as predicted, everyone will have an electronic version at least.
*I can't even muster anything more than resigned frustration right now for the way two hours of my life were wasted.
Between work and my dad - he was taken back to the hospital earlier today for respiratory distress, and I'm waiting for the update from my brother, who had to get out to Huntington from Yonkers - I'm too exhausted to do much else but refresh tumblr and play online solitaire (plain old three-turn klondike for me). I am really good at online solitaire, you guys. It soothes something in my brain, I don't even know.
But I have no fic to post today because of it, and I wanted to, because today is Bucky Barnes's 100th birthday! And I even have a wip titled "Bucky's Birthday Breakfast" (a working title only) but like everything else, it languishes right now. Even the id-fic** I've been working on has been reduced to me changing "a" to "the" and back instead of making any sort of forward progress on it. I guess part of it is exhaustion and part of it is finally committing to the porn, or, rather, finding the right way for the characters to commit to the porn. *hands* Writing is hard!
**I mean, most of what I write is id-fic in one way or another. it's just that usually my id wants snappy banter and first kisses, and this is. not that.
It's also the 20th(!!!) anniversary of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Buffy and Bucky! Two great tastes that would probably taste great together.) and I've been enjoying some of the retrospectives on various pop culture sites. Buffy was the second online fandom I participated in, and I still have any number of friends from those days, and maybe someday I'll get around to doing that selective rewatch.
Oh! And the reason I have to leave work on time tonight is that I am seeing Trevor Noah get interviewed by Chris Jackson at NYPL! I am excite!
