It was very windy and rainy in DC, but really, nothing to write home about. We didn't even lose power. I hope everyone who was in the storm's path made it through equally uneventfully. ♥ I did make the somewhat less than intelligent decision to drive home from the party at 12:30am rather than crash the night, which, wow, even a vastly downgraded not-hurricane is kind of exciting-in-a-bad-way to drive in. But I didn't panic and drove slowly and safely and I'm fine, so! Life experience, right there. And as it turned out, my choice to head out to the party did indeed save my car damage, ironically enough, though not storm-related. When I got back to my street, the car parked exactly where mine HAD been before the storm had had its side mirror whacked off, presumably by some careless driver. This has happened to me before on that street. If I had stayed home, it would have been MY side mirror, AGAIN. Lucked out there, I guess. Poor bastard.<br /><br />Seeing the video of the storm surge flooding Battery Park creeped me out a lot. I may not live in NYC anymore, but I'm still a New Yorker at heart, and I went rollerblading down there <em>all the time</em> as a teenager. I'm sure they'll clean it all up and it'll be perfectly normal by the next time I have a chance to visit the city, but still. WEIRD AND UNNATURAL.<br /><br />UNRELATEDLY. While the epic XMFC/Inception fusion is in beta, I've been working slowly on my <span style='white-space: nowrap;'><a href='http://femgenficathon.livejournal.com/profile'><img src='https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif' alt='[livejournal.com profile] ' style='vertical-align: text-bottom; border: 0; padding-right: 1px;' width='16' height='16'/></a><a href='http://femgenficathon.livejournal.com/'><b>femgenficathon</b></a></span> fic, and hopefully will finish it up either tonight or tomorrow. So. <b>Would anyone be willing to do a quick beta on an XMFC Angel gen fic?</b> Just a quickie, should be less than 3k words when it's done. I'm a little nervous about handling 1960s racism in an inoffensive manner, in particular, though it's not the focus of the fic as a whole. Anyone? As ever, I will gladly trade my own beta services in exchange.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kaydeefalls&ditemid=638409" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
