Yuletide fics are due in a little over a week! *Gulp*. Mine is coming along, although still far from finished. I have a beta this year, though, so I think that will help matters considerably. If nothing else, it is forcing me not to do all of my writing at the absolute last minute. External motivation

Now, back to the salt mines.

It's a little weird to be watching a Christmas special in the middle of February, but hey, the episode didn't actually have anything to do with Christmas, so I guess it's okay.

A couple of friends have sucked me into (no pun intended) watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and now I'm almost all the way through season three. Despite the show sometimes being in danger of collapsing under the weight of all the hormonal drama, I am rather enjoying it.
