they call it stormy Monday

[aesc]

Eeeesh, we had 9 inches of rain this weekend--a drop in the bucket compared to Galveston and other places (is the entire midwest under water???), but it set a local record for most rainfall in 24 hours. Finally, finally it's cleared up and there had damn well better be some nice weather this week, that's all I'm sayin'.

Post of random:

MEME. Stolen from pretty much everyone: What, if you read my fic, is/are the characteristic(s) that stand(s) out the most? The convoluted sentences? How it vanishes from your memory even as you read it?

RL. OMFG way too busy. I had two conference abstracts due today and an appointment with the advisor to talk about my "dissertation." The good news is that the proposal is further along than I thought.

BOYS. OH MY GOD JOE. (Spoilery, probably, but STILL, OMG.)

Thus ends this post of random.

Re: the weekend. Hurricanes are no fun! My apartment still doesn't have power. Good thing my parents' live on the side of Houston with power so I can stay there.

Re: your meme. I love how your writing style evolves to bring the story to life. When it's a sweet (hot), funny piece - like Restoration Hardware or SPROING! - there is such fondness. In the more serious pieces, you craft some of the most elegant turns of phrase, and I'm always in awe.

Re: Joe. Oh my word. It is criminal how gorgeous he is. With the scruff and the tight jeans and the half-untucked shirt... GUH! He's like a model at a classic car show.

Re: the weekend. I am happy you're safe! I've been reading about the people being evacuated from Galveston, and the neighborhoods that have been pretty much washed away and been torn between thinking "Oh, those poor people" and "At least I only live where there are tornadoes."

Re: meme. Awww, thank you! Boyyyys *siiigh*

Re: Joe. How he is so scorchingly hot should be one of the Millennium Problems, for serious. I volunteer to conduct research.
