1. Fiddling with a story in my head that just won't come out. ( Read more... )
2. Lucifer
I liked this week's better than last week's. Also Welling was rather good in it this week. It focused on a hard-core favorite story trope/kink of mine -- brother relationships. I have a thing regarding sibling relationships.
( Spoilers )
It'll be back in three weeks. Going on hiatus most likely for the Winter Olympics or the National College Basketball playoffs. Not to mention awards shows. This always happens in the end of February sweeps.
There's so many television shows on at the moment, it's hard to care. I just get to catch up on the rest of them.
3. Ghosts on FB.
Facebook keeps reminding me that today would have been my friend Maribeth Martell aka![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
embers_log birthday. She was 62 when she died several years ago. I met her in the Buffy fandom, saw a show with her when she came to NY, and we sent Christmas and Birthday gifts to each other.
She was a huge fan of science fiction, fantasy, Terry Prachett, Joss Whedon, and went to numerous conventions -- designing her own costumes. A skilled artist, she created diverse works of art -- via costume design, fanart on post-cards, and ceramics. She also worked for the Regan Administration in the Treasury department back in the 1980s. Although she was a liberal Democrat, an atheist, and a Buddhist. She practiced meditation, visited family and friends around the country -- and brought joy to most of the people she knew.
We drifted apart a bit before she died. So I didn't find out she was dead until I checked her Facebook page, hoping to see what she was doing and to try and reconnect. She died of colitis - an infection in the bowels. Similar to what killed one of my great aunts.
It was sudden.
I still miss her presence online, and her sense of humor. But know she's at peace now.
So Happy Birthday Maribeth. I remember you fondly and always will. (And so, does the internet apparently.)
