I can has groovy box

[hobgoblinn]

I came home to a super obscurely groovy surprise tonight. willowgreen sent me a box of stuff from her stash of "obscure grooviness." Wee Hob and I were both delighted, he even though he's been under the weather for a couple of days with an odd spring fever (with actual fever. He had to come home from school yesterday, and he came in today and mostly slept tonight, with brief stints of soup eating and a shower.)

Anyway, thanks to willowgreen for your generosity. Now I have to come up with something equally groovy for snarkysneak.

But at the moment, bedtime I think. For those of you staying up later, I highly recommend the next chapter in Malora's continuing epic, Never Say Remember. Her dialogue is perfect, understated but full of meaning, and damned funny when it needs to be. She is the poster child for why people should finish a draft before posting anything-- this story is so tightly crafted and beautifully done, so unlike mine. Don't get me wrong, mine has its moments. But it wanders a lot, and I am seeing, reading it to Wee Hob the past couple of nights, how much could and should be cut. Ah well. Information for next time.

Hope weehob feels better soon.

I'm reading that fic too. It's great! I just wonder how long the story is going to go though? She doesn't update often :(

Thanks, Wee Hob is much better today.

As to the fic, the author responded to one of my reviews that it is completed and in the process of being polished now, so I have no worries about its eventual completion. The pace of updates is regular, if not as frequent as one might like. And the result is certainly worth the wait.
