Bingo Love

On the morning of OUTrageous Bingo, I learn of an LGBTQ romance featuring Bingo halls. How perfect is that! ;-)

Giles' resurrection

I'm reading the Buffy comics, the issue where Giles is resurrected and some issues after - the What You Want, Not What You Need volume, and some of the points are 1) during the ritual they need to keep in mind the Giles they knew because that’ll influence how he comes back, 2) his aunts go clothes shopping for him, and 3) teenage hormones kick in when he’s around Faith.

I hadn’t read these comics until now but all of these issues showed up in my stories On This Side of Goodbye and Shopping! which was written for the 2014 Summer of Giles. The current Summer of Giles, which has just started, already has some excellent work including Dark Heart Walsh's Epilogues which is the story that sent me hunting down the Giles resurrection comic.

less than a month to go

My job requires drug tests. I'm living with my friend Kat who has also taken in a younger couple, Sue and Tim. Sue and two friends one night literally filled the house with pot smoke. From under her bedroom door, it filled the hallway running parallel to Kat's bedroom, filled the living room, filled the kitchen, and was starting to come in under the door of Kat's study where I'd retreated to avoid the smoke.

Last Sunday Sue told Kat that she'd gotten Emma, Kat's dog, stoned. I know Kat reamed her a new one. I wasn't there but Kat arranged for the two of them to be alone. Apparently Sue doesn't give a fuck. In the living room today I once again smelled pot smoke. I'm in the backyard, which happily is close enough for Internet, working on my Summer of Giles story.

Interestingly, last Monday, after the reaming, she hid the smell by spraying something in her room. This weekend she's not trying to hide it.

End of the month and they'll be gone. Goddess am I looking forward to that day!
