This and that

luzula1) I have my dSSS assignment and feel confident that I can do it. I need to iron out a few plot details, then I can go ahead. *refrains, with difficulty, from talking about it*
2) There's a lot going on at the moment. This weekend I am going to Malmö and Copenhagen to visit my sister, a RL friend, andexeterlinden! Also I'll be going to a Gillian Welch concert. The weekend after that I'm organizing a board meeting in the environmental NGO of which I am treasurer. And I'm in the middle of doing financial auditing in another environmental NGO. Yeah, I feel like a bureaucrat right now.
3) I have finished a first draft of a fic and sent it off to beta! This is the post-CotW ghost story that I've probably talked about before. \o/
4) Have read Robin McKinley's Beauty, and kept expecting some kind of plot twist to subvert the traditional Beauty and the Beast story, but it was told straight. I liked Beauty's character and family and her horse a lot, and the writing was lovely, but I enjoyed the domestic bits of the book (both with her family and in the castle) more than the actual fairy tale wedding at the end. I mean, I was getting more of a platonic than a sexual vibe between Beauty and the Beast.
