Statler and Waldorf deliver the meta once again. Not quite as slashy this time, though.

I really love this icon. Summer is just so . . . "guh," and I like the red-against-black-and-white. The "problematizing desire" River/Kaylee one's not bad either. (I figured I needed "desire" icons after the recent meta.

If it weren't for 'thons I wouldn't be writing fic at all, since I have
so much schoolwork ("thesis? what thesis?"), but I do miss working on my chaptered fic.
To Live in Hearts, I'm thinking about you.

I gave a couple of (female) students rides home from a class dinner on Thursday, and it wasn't until
I was exiting my car that I realized I let the conversation be about me the entire time. I shrugged it off--I already have a girlfriend (and wouldnn't have been interrested in those girls anyway), and I'm graduating in a little more than a month, so who cares if my social skills are horrible?--but one wonders
how I got a girlfriend in the first place. (Answer: Geeks don't date the same way mundanes do.)

Wrote my first
Veronica Mars fanfic over the weeked, Veronica/Mac/Lilly. Is that my first threesome? I think so, although since Lilly's a ghost I'm not sure it actually counts. Oh, right--there was the Joss/River/Ari, but I don't think that counts either. Been thinking about threesomes I could write, such as Wes/Faith/Buffy (which I have a plot for and everything, even), Buffy/Giles/Cordelia, or Veronica/Mac/Cassidy. But I want to finish
To Live in Hearts first, and that won't happen until after I'm done the thesis. And I've been planning to write Amy/Rack/Drusilla
forever. (Well, since last summer.)

Silent retreat this weekend at a not-really-local monastery. I'm going to bring some books which hover in the grey area between schoolwork (which is forbidden) and devotional literature (which is encouraged). I have a lot of books from the thesis research on the role of mysticism in analytic philosophy--Russell and Wittgenstein, mainly. Or maybe I'll bring the St. Augustine to reread or finally get around to reading the Thomas Merton. Any suggestions?
