mark_asphodel Back from Vegas, and it's nice to feel spring air again. I don't care if it is late June.
While I was away, my most excellent spouse retrieved my dollhouse from its storage area of the last nine years, while the new telescope I ordered for him arrived. It was like the Gift of the Magi (short story version) except not sucky and pointless.

OK. So, clearly, the Vegas experience left me in some way unhinged, because I wrote upwards of 4,000 words of... jacked up Magvel stuff. First there's the Forde/Eirika/Ephraim thing, which now comes in two flavors, angstfest and not!angstfest, the latter being called "Renascence" because apparently we need more Edna St. Vincent Millay references around here. Then there's the Lyon/Eirika/Ephraim pregame AU from hell I just put down for the night. I don't know if I'll post that either, because it reminds me more of the stuff I was writing for my own amusement once my original work went off a cliff.

PD received a surprise award yesterday. His reaction on receiving it was to look, in the words of the award presenter, "like he was facing a firing squad." He grimly accepted it on behalf of his members-- and then wondered aloud what it meant to get a lifetime achievement award at 41. "Am I done?" he asked.
