Weirdest Dream lately :
I dreamed I was on the "other side" when my Dad was passing. I spoke to him and made sure he was okay. Then I woke, and knew he was gone. 30 minutes later, we got the call from the hospital saying that his blood pressure had crashed in the last 30 minutes.
Currently working on :
A BTVS related story called "Long Goodbye" which deals with a member of the Watchers Council being vamped as part of an experiment.
Also completing my nanowrimo effort.
A blog for that outspoken and aggressive member of the Buffy Bulletin Board.

Marathon Update
London Marathon. Sunday 18 April 2004
Well my training is still ongoing, and I'm in better shape than I have been for quite some time. My joints are still in danger of giving out on me though, so I'm taking it easy on my knees. It has also caused a problem with an ingrown toe-nail. I guess these sorts of things are common enough for runners. I'll get a doctor to look at it next week, and I may be off my feet for a day or two.
Apparently, I won't find out about my entry to the marathon until the first week in December. If my ballot entry is turned down, then I'll be trying to enter through "Cancer Research UK", as they hold a number of places for charity runners. However, these places can only go for people who are able to raise 2000 pounds sterling in sponsership.
So I'm going to be hitting up people for sponsership money between now and April next year. I figure between work, friends and family, I can get a tenner a head. That'll take me to about 1000. The rest I'll be looking for via blind donation through the net, and making up the shortfall myself.
