Dear god what have i done

 I went ahead and signed up for the Remix Redux thing.  It'll be fun!!

Let's see.  The BRBB fic goes up on Monday, and it's all ready to go, so that's one thing checked off the list.  But that leaves:

The Natsume Yuujinchou exchange fic (due March 17!)
The Remix Redux assignment (due April 16th)
the SGA Genficathon fic (draft due May 3)
the BBB fic (draft due May 11)
the SGA RBB fic (due May 13th)
the Space BB fic (draft due June 10)

Ah well.  I wanted to keep myself busy writing!

Ooh, but hey!  Someone's claimed my fic from last year's BBB as part of the Podfic Wave!  EXCITING. (and not something I need to worry about finishing!)

One reason I love rainy days

I really love a lot of things about my apartment, but one of the big ones (the thing that made me pick this apartment in the first place) is the fact that I'm on the corner on the NE side of the building, and since the bar next door is only three stories high and my apartment is on the fifth floor, and whoever built this place decided that a factory that dealt with giant printing presses obviously needed to have tons of windows (most of which are nearly 5' wide and 8' tall) -- well.  I love my view, okay?

It's not dramatic, most of the time -- I look over an older part of the city, so the buildings aren't huge, but they're cool looking.  Lots of brick and neat details.  And the view goes down to a glimpse of the river, and then the trees and SO MUCH sky.  And since this is the north side of the building that sky gets to hold a lot of awesome storm clouds.  When there are storms rolling in -- THEN the view is dramatic.

And then there are days like today -- when it's been chilly and rainy and gray, and the clouds are low and thick, and the river has gathered the clouds and the fog and covered the north end of the city with them.  On days like today, the world ends in a pearl-gray void just five blocks away from me.

And I know that slowly, as the clouds move on and the river releases the fog, the world will creep back.  First the brick and the concrete, and the old airport's lights.  Then the dark lines of the trees on the other side of that rain swollen curve of the river.

And that's AWESOME.
