I had a mocha about 6:00 tonight. Result? I can't sleep. I'm wired. But that might also be from the whole finale night. I enjoyed Buffy. More about that later. It's not really over for me. Tues. Night Girls Club starts next week with the first episode. We're going to watch eps all summer, baybee!

Still awake.

I got a nice review for Endings and Beginnings, my forlorn Regaining sequel from textualsphinx !?! I couldn't believe it. Then I reread the two chapters so far to try to jumbstart my creative promise, and I really couldn't believe it. I misspelled McGonagall. Was I on crack? The story is horrid. I can't believe I published that dreck.

I almost deleted the whole thing from FF.Net, but felt that since it's almost 2:30 am, that might be lack of sleep rashness. I have had some thoughts about the next part, so Tom and Minerva might have to wait a bit. Or actually, older version of Minerva will get to step up, cos both the stories are going to dovetail nicely together.

I can't believe I misspelled McGonagall.

Shudder.

The good news is that I did finally get to sleep around 2:30 and slept well till 7:00 so I was able to function pretty well today.

Endings and Beginnings still distresses me, but now I have a plan for revisions. So that is actually a good result of reading one's work when one's seratonin levels absolutely can't handle anything. Three more days of children and I might actually have a brain to get some work done.

Buffy Series Finale thoughts - not too spoilery. I liked it. It was a nice, if not perfect, end. It made me happy, and it doesn't feel over to me. There will always be fic and the DVD's. When X-Files ended (actually before it ended) I lost all desire to watch the old, good episodes unless I was at Scully Marathon. This is really sad to me cos I loved that show. With intense passion. Only now am I starting to think, 'I'd like to see "Pusher" again. Or maybe "Darkness Falls"' With Buffy, Tues. Night Girls Club is starting from episode one since one of us hasn't seen much early stuff and watching all we can through the summer. This makes me happy.

Okay, finale thoughts: the scene with the four main characters in the hallway all separating one by one to fight the fight - beautiful. Referencing "The Wish" with Cleveland's Hellmouth - nice continuity. Spuffy - wanted a little more, just an embrace would've been nice. A little kiss. But still I'm glad that there was closure.

The only thing I really disliked was how Anya was left behind. It seemed callous that she was just left in the rubble. This beautiful story by [livejournal.com profile] zarahmela helped a lot: http://www.livejournal.com/users/zarahemla/7274.html

Smallville finale thoughts: Yeesh, what was that? Oh wait, the Lex parts were really pretty. I did like Chloe - characters with texture, hurray!
