We're planning on doing some database maintenance tomorrow and LiveJournal could be down for some users during this maintenance. It is scheduled to begin at 15:55 PDT on May 25 (click to see other timezones), will be happening over a two hour period and you might see occasional delays in connecting to some journals, pages or logging in. The delays will only be temporary and you should soon see a recovery in the site. We do not expect this work to cause wider site issues.
You can keep an eye on the LiveJournal Status Page to see when we're back, but we'll also be posting to LiveJournal's Facebook page and LiveJournal's Twitter account to let you know when we're back and to provide any additional updates if we go beyond our planned maintenance window.
As always, you may create whatever you like. You may use the main episode prompts or do something — anything — else. Recommendations are heartily welcomed. Next week, be ready to focus on Hellbound!

Rating PG13

(I completely hate the title, btw, but this is my best effort as of 11pm last night. So. Just let your eyes slide right over that part.)
BUFFY: I have a chem test. So sad that I'm actually happy about that. Giles, we need to talk.
WESLEY: Buffy... I must ask you to remember that I am your Watcher. From now on, anything you have to say about slaying you will say to me. The only thing you need discuss with Mr. Giles is overdue book fees. Understood?
BUFFY: (turns to Giles) We'll talk.
GILES: Of course.
WESLEY: (to Giles) You're not helping.
GILES: No. I feel just sick about it.

It's my seasonal spuffy tomorrow. Remind me? Am kind of vague just now. </p>
Worked from home today due to brain fog and needing some time. Which I have had, worked a short day in bursts among yoga and Star Trek (pretty meh, I'm afraid, tho not completely losing the spark of the first). I think I needed that.
Chris Pine does have an awfully suggestive mouth tho. It passed the time quite nicely. *drifts off*
2) Has anyone bought the paperback novels? I wanted to, because the maps and covers look pretty, but for some reason never did. I have no idea whether the Penguin editions will use her covers etc, so maybe I should buy them while I can.
3)
4) I'm wondering how much they'll edit?
5) Book 3, you guys. Guys, book 3.
6) Once on my way to Portland to see my brother, I'd just gotten off the bus, and checked my ipad. I saw there was an update of Captive Prince. I walked to the rental place, rented a car (Okay, I know, environment, but the train was booked for the time I needed it and renting a car and driving it to Portland is actually cheaper than taking a train there), got in the car, and then drove to a parking lot. And then proceeded to read the update before starting my drive because I JUST COULD NOT WAIT.
6) In other news, I think Kindle Worlds is hilarious.
