liptonrm_backupYesterday was a day of signs and portents. Went to the bookstore before the big salon appointment to get a magazine to read during the hair dying. The mall speakers were playing Scott Grimes' 'Sunset Boulevard' and I freaked out (BTW, freaking out in the middle of a bookstore gets you some weird looks, just so you know). Then I bought the latest edition of 'Premiere' magazine which not only had the awesomest Batman Begins article ever but also ranked Peter Jackson at the top of the 50 Most Powerful People in Hollywood list. I took all of this as very good signs that the dye job would go well.
And it did! My hair looks so different! It's very close to my own hair color but with a little added red and no grey. I am exceptionally pleased.
While I was in the salon it started storming and I'm not sure what kind of a portent that was though it sounded extremely portentous. Big claps of thunder and jagged slashes of lightning cutting through the sky.
Finally, a fic/author recommendation. About three years ago I started seriously searching the internet for Buffy the Vampire Slayer fic. In my search I found a new story over at FF.net that had been posted by a new author in the fandom, one![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
liz_marcs. I was so enthralled and entranced by it that I even missed class one day just so I could be there when the new part was put up. After that I started noticing her work in various newsgroups that I was lurking in and each and every story that I read was as good or better then the first one.
Liz has continued to produce work of the highest quality. Take for instance, her latest story, Water Hold Me Down. I came in to work today and my reaction to the latest chapter was to literally say, "You're breaking my heart." Considering that I wanted to slap George Lucas for making Natalie Portman say that phrase in Ep. III you can understand how deeply affected I was. Her grasp of character, plot and story is first rate. I can't praise or recommend her work highly enough.
She has gathered her work in her LJ memories over here. I would suggest starting with Whisper and moving on from there. Go forth and read!
