Silly Kivrin, I said to myself some little time ago, Why are you noodling online while half-watching Jeopardy through your open bedroom door when there are so many more productive things you could be doing, from the slightly more productive, such as watching something from your spanking new AtS season 5 and Buffy season 7 dvd sets while knitting a fingerless mitten or hemming your pants, to the greatly more productive, such as making scones for the party at work tomorrow or packing for that rather significant trip you're taking in about ten days?
Hum, I said to myself some even smaller time ago, is it not Odd and Peculiar how many people have rewritten Stephen King's The Stand to incorporate characters from television shows. This fic before me, for example, is at least the second and possibly the the third Buffyverse version I have read. There was an X-files one I remember, too. Surely there's a West Wing version somewhere in which Bartlett stops the plague, because That's What Jed Does. Besides, wasn't Rob Lowe in the miniseries? This story, though, it... oh dear...
Silly Kivrin, I keep saying to myself, why do you read things that you could have predicted would make you anxious and jumpy. You don't like large-scale epidemic stories. You always think you will, and then you end up all atwitter.
Okay, Kivrin, I say to myself, go read your nice book-club book about plants and make your scones.
