Well, not much going on. L and Sabrina, the other roomies, went to Lake Tahoe this week and have been gone, so I've been watching over Carpathia, L's netherland dwarf rabbit. She's cute, but can be a real bitch. Anyways, tuesday one of the lightrail munis derailed underground. Now, to get to work, I take the L line two blocks away. And it goes above gound for 20 blocks (approx) before it reaches the area called West Portal, where it goes underground. From West Portal, it takes 15 mins to reach the stop I get off at, Montgomery station. Overall my commute is like 30 minutes.

On tuesday, the lightrail (no the one I was on, but another) derailed after West Portal. No one got hurt, but muni was shut down from West Portal to Van Ness station, about four stops. It takes 10 mins via the underground to get from West Portal to Van Ness (sometimes more if there's too many cars underground; a one stop, a train goes above ground if its outbound. Inbound (heading downtown), it gets onto the system, some it can jam things up.)
It took me an hour to get to work as I had to take a bus from West Portal to Van Ness. It took me an hour to get home. It took Kostya 2 hours to get home. Oy.

Then, around 8 p.m., there was an earthquake. It was a 4.4 near Santa Rosa in Sonoma county, so it wasn't strong in SF. Carpathia didn't freak out or anything. Apparently animals go nuts during natural disasters, but the quake in SF was so weak that Carpathia was just like, "whatever."

At work I listen to an itunes radio statio called headcase radio. Its a very eclectic mix, with classical, some oldies, alternative, and some standup. Gives me joy.

Love you all, peace out.

One thing about this is I've decided to try something kinda new. All of these stories will be connected episodic pieces featuring my favorite character, Xander. On this entry, I'll post the fics in a list below in the order they take place in.

Story 1 - Prompt #22, Near Death Experience 
Story 2 - Prompt #13, Medium
Story 3 - Prompt #7, Haunting
Story 4 - Prompt #16, Amulet
Story 5 - Prompt #21, Cemetery/Mausoleum
Story 6 - Prompt #34, EMF Meter 
Story 7 - Prompt #10, Phantom Hitchhiker
Title:  Ain't No Party Like a Costume Party
Author: vinniebatman aka batmanvinnie
Fandom: BtVS, AtS
Pairings: Spander, of course.
Rating/Warnings:  Adult
Prompt:This prompt is from [personal profile] babysquid and is simply "codpiece."
Summary:  Several months after being turned by Spike, Xander and his Sire meet up with their friends. Xander's POV
Teaser: "I stared at Angel's crotch in wonder.  It was like a car wreck and I couldn't look away."
Disclaimer: I hired a pack of ninjas to kidnap Joss; he was threatened with hot poker torture and chainsaws so I could meet the real him. I now own all. Thank you.   Or not.
A/N:  This is a sequel to my story "Do Not Go Gentle Into that Good Night - Go Screaming," but you don't need to have read the first one.  Just know that Xander was dying so Spike turned him when Willow found a spell to anchor souls.
 I got several requests for a continuation of my fic that I decided to do one.  I had a couple lines running through my head, so I just started, paying attention to the prompt provided by [personal profile] babysquid.  However, it gets wierder.  Two of my favorite authors on LJ, [personal profile] suki_blue and [personal profile] amejisuto , are total Batman nuts, so the three threads (the prompt, the sequel, and being unintentionally influenced by Ame and Suki) just met up to create this strange bit of joy.

Dedication: To [personal profile] babysquid, [personal profile] suki_blue, and [personal profile] amejisuto as a thanks to the inspiration they gave me.
