I went to hear Briar Grace Smith speaking today. She was wonderful, and she read from a couple of short stories. And she told us how once an actor in one of her plays felt so strongly about his character, and wanted him to be redeemed, that he spontaneously ran onto the stage and cried, “Forgive me, son.” Caused a bit of confusion, as the lighting technicians didn’t know it was going to happen, not to mention the other actors, the director, and the playwright!

I’m currently reading The Heart Sutra by Caren Wilton, and I’m really enjoying it. It’s a bit scary though, I swear with one or two of the stories she must have been spying on me, taking notes about my life…

Well, the good news is that I don’t seem to have the Swen Virus. I’ve been getting lots of “Undelivered Message” emails that say “The file drotqww.bat was infected with the virus Worm.Automat.AHB and has been deleted because the file cannot be cleaned.” But there doesn’t seem to be any sign of the virus on my machine, so I guess it’s sending itself out from somewhere else and making it look like it’s coming from me. Annoying bugger. I can't believe how many hours someone must have put in to dreaming the damn thing up.

The not so good news is that my emotions still seem to be going haywire. The slightest little thing happens and the tears start welling up. Maybe it’s because I broke my sugar fast. Maybe my meds need adjusting – I keep forgetting to go in for a blood test. Maybe I’m just tired.
Posted by Fionnaigh at September 22, 2003 11:03 PMsorry about the haywire emotions. that always sucks. and sorry about the "buffy" spoiler on my site a couple of days ago. i should have put a warning on there, but i forget that some people haven't seen that far into the series. all i have to say is, if you've just finished season three, you're in for a hell of a ride over the next couple of seasons. especially if you're a willow fan, like me.
