Happy day...

A busy, fun, fannish day.

First, I woke up with a story percolating in my head, and wrote it - a first draft beginning to end in one day. It's been a long time since I've had a chance to do that. I went up to maboroshimaki's place for coffee and we watched Justice League, an episode with Bruce Wayne (my favourite!) and Wonder Woman - the first part of the story. We enjoyed it thoroughly, and even thought it slashy. I usually don't like TV cartoons because the voices bother me; they still bother me in Justice League, but not as much as they used to - I especially like the Bruce Wayne voice. I am told the new Spider-Man cartoon is good; must have a look. At the collation, Paul was enthusiastic over Justice League too, and Alayne is reading Neil Gaiman's The Books of Magic. Since Alayne never, ever reads comics, but enjoyed The Books of Magic, I am very pleased indeed. It's one of those days in which it feels good to be a fan.

I managed to work a little on the OSFS web site, at last, and Sandi, bless her heart, managed to help me with a problem I was having with it. I wrote my new Central Mailer's comments for APAplexy, and went to Donna's workplace to photocopy that and my zine, and then we watched three episodes of Smallville and ate rabbit for dinner, followed by delicious chocolate desserts that Donna brought. I thought the rabbit turned out a little dry, but still delicious. The recipe involved garlic, yams and plenty of rosemary.

The episodes were "Perry", "Delete", and "Hereafter", all of which Donna had missed. I would have said the first two were favourites of mine - and they stil are, they only improve on watching again. "Hereafter", which hadn't impressed me so much first time through, seemed a lot better on second viewing, for several reasons, most of them centred on Adam. But Clark also seemed particularly personable, and so did Chloe, and Lex was... just as he should be, except he should be with Clark all the time, and onscreen all the time too.

The APA collation was pleasant in every way. Lots of lively conversation. Everyone seemed in a good mood - surprising on a cold and snowy night! Donna drove me to the collation (and got lost on the way); Beulah drove me home (and got lost on the way home). In both cases, I think the drivers were too caught up in what we were saying to pay enough attention to snowy road signs.
