Emotionally recovered at least...

matrixrefugeeAnd I have to thank everyone for all the hugs, kind thoughts and vampire hugs from everyone for helping me pull myself back together. Though now, out of the blue, I have a bit of a cough in my chest. Not enough to floor me, but enough to slow me down a bit. I also discovered, about fifteen minutes after punching in at work, that I'd looked at the schedule wrong and I had the day off. Rather a nice surprise, though it won't look too good on my paycheck next week. But... I'm working on finishing the infamous ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
story_lottery stories: I've got maybe one left to finish writing, specifically the EvE Online fic, but I've had that mapped out in my head for a year. Expect to see an insane amount of ficcage popping up for the next few days as I scrabble to meet the deadline.
Also went to the Salem NH Barnes & Noble last night: bit of a disappointing trip, as they didn't have two things I was looking for, though since one was the new Supernatural tie-in novel, it might have gotten scoffed up quickly. I'll try the Burlington B&N. I did get Richelle Mead's "Succubus Shadows", and I'm now fighting the temptation to bring Georgina Kincaid to the Mansion (carpe_ho_ras, you are my anti-drug of choice. :: Laughs:: ).
Now re-reading Gormenghast (and skim-re-reading "The Historian", since I'm seriously considering bringing Helen Rossi in at a certain addictive RPG), and I had forgotten how delightfully Byzantine Meryvn Peake's prose is. And I have to snerk at the purists who yell about the Pre-Raphaelite inspired art design on the TV series (which I have been watching via YouTube and trying to ignore the anNOYing comments: I like how they've redesigned the website, but could they find a way to collapse the comments? I swear to God, YouTube has the most inane commenters ever): I can't see any argument against it, and I rather like it.
